The Quake 10 is a 10-inch steel frame replacement woofer designed for musicians, sound engineers, and DIY builders who need reliable mid-bass performance for PA systems, floor monitors, or custom speaker cabinets. Built with a pressed steel chassis and paper cone, this driver delivers consistent output whether you're replacing a blown speaker or building from scratch.

This woofer handles 125 watts RMS with a frequency response from 65Hz to 5KHz, covering the critical mid-bass range that gives vocals punch and instruments clarity in live sound applications. The 50-ounce magnet with 2.5-inch voice coil provides the magnetic force needed to move air effectively, while the 4-ohm impedance matches most PA amplifiers and powered mixers without requiring impedance matching transformers.

With 98dB sensitivity, the Quake 10 converts amplifier power efficiently, making it suitable for venues seating up to 200 people when used in properly designed enclosures. The steel frame construction provides durability for touring musicians and mobile DJs who need components that can handle regular transport and setup.

Installation requires basic wiring knowledge and standard speaker wire connections. The driver comes ready to mount in compatible 10-inch speaker enclosures with appropriate internal volume and porting for optimal performance.

Every Quake 10 includes a one-year warranty and ships quickly from our warehouse. At 9 pounds per driver, Seismic Audio delivers professional-grade replacement components that keep your PA system running without breaking your equipment budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size venues can this 10-inch woofer handle?

The Quake 10 works well in venues seating up to 200 people when installed in properly designed speaker enclosures. For larger venues, consider using multiple drivers or pairing with subwoofers for extended low-end coverage. The 125-watt RMS power handling provides sufficient headroom for most live sound applications in clubs, churches, and small theaters.

Will this driver work with my existing amplifier?

The 4-ohm impedance matches most PA amplifiers and powered mixers without issues. Check your amplifier's minimum impedance rating to ensure compatibility - most modern PA amps handle 4-ohm loads easily. You'll need standard speaker wire with appropriate gauge for the distance between your amp and cabinet.

Can I use this woofer without a subwoofer for live sound?

The Quake 10's frequency response extends down to 65Hz, covering most bass guitar fundamentals and kick drum presence. For full-range applications without a subwoofer, this works well for acoustic acts, smaller bands, and spoken word events. Electronic music and bass-heavy genres benefit from adding a dedicated subwoofer below 80Hz.

What type of speaker cabinet do I need for this driver?

This woofer requires a properly designed enclosure with internal volume calculated for 10-inch drivers. Sealed cabinets work well for tight bass response, while ported designs extend low-frequency output. Cabinet design affects frequency response significantly, so follow established plans or consult speaker design resources for optimal performance.

How does this compare to the 12-inch version?

The 10-inch Quake offers more focused mid-bass response and fits smaller cabinet designs, making it ideal for monitor wedges and compact PA systems. The 12-inch version moves more air for deeper bass extension and higher SPL capability. Choose 10-inch for portability and clarity, 12-inch for maximum low-end output and venue coverage.
