The Quake 15" Steel Frame Speaker Driver delivers professional-grade replacement power for sound engineers, cabinet builders, and venue operators who need reliable 15-inch woofer performance. This 16-ohm driver handles demanding live sound applications where consistent low-frequency reproduction matters.

Built around a robust 50-ounce magnet and 2.5-inch voice coil, this woofer produces clean bass response from 50Hz to 5kHz with 95dB sensitivity. The 200-watt RMS power handling (400 watts peak) provides the headroom needed for live performances, DJ setups, and permanent installations without distortion or thermal failure.

The pressed steel chassis construction ensures long-term durability in high-output applications, while the paper cone design delivers the natural midrange warmth that cuts through dense mixes. At 16 ohms impedance, this driver works well in series-parallel wiring configurations for custom cabinet designs or as a direct replacement in existing PA systems.

Perfect for rebuilding vintage PA cabinets, constructing custom subwoofer enclosures, or replacing blown drivers in church sound systems and mobile DJ rigs. The driver's frequency response handles both bass guitar fundamentals and vocal clarity for venues up to 200 people.

Installation requires standard speaker wire connections to your amplifier or crossover network. The driver ships ready to mount in your cabinet with appropriate hardware and includes comprehensive specifications for optimal enclosure design.

Backed by Seismic Audio's one-year warranty with fast shipping nationwide. Professional performance without the premium price tag.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What size venue can this 15-inch driver handle?

This driver works well for venues up to 200 people when properly paired with appropriate amplification and cabinet design. The 200-watt RMS handling and 95dB sensitivity provide sufficient output for small to medium live sound applications, DJ setups, and permanent installations in churches or community centers.

What impedance configuration should I use with multiple drivers?

At 16 ohms, this driver works well in series-parallel wiring for multi-driver cabinets. Two drivers in parallel create an 8-ohm load, while two in series create 32 ohms. This flexibility makes it ideal for custom cabinet designs or matching existing amplifier impedance requirements.

Can I use this driver to replace a blown woofer in my existing PA cabinet?

Yes, this driver serves as an excellent replacement for most 15-inch PA woofers, provided your cabinet's internal volume and port tuning match the driver's specifications. Check your original driver's impedance and power ratings to ensure compatibility with your existing amplifier setup.

What type of amplifier power do I need for this driver?

Match this driver with amplifiers providing 150-300 watts RMS into 16 ohms for optimal performance. Running underpowered risks clipping distortion, while excessive power beyond 400 watts peak can damage the voice coil. Most professional PA amplifiers handle 16-ohm loads effectively.

Do I need a crossover with this driver?

For full-range applications, a crossover helps protect the driver from high-frequency content above 5kHz and improves overall system clarity. Many users pair this woofer with horn-loaded compression drivers using passive or active crossovers around 1.5-2kHz for complete PA systems.
