The Quake 10" Steel Frame Speaker Driver delivers reliable replacement power for PA systems, guitar cabinets, and custom speaker builds. This 16-ohm woofer handles both repair jobs and ground-up cabinet construction with professional-grade components.

Built around a 125-watt RMS power rating with 250-watt peak handling, this driver provides the headroom needed for live sound applications without distortion under load. The 98 dB sensitivity rating ensures efficient power transfer from your amplifier, requiring less wattage to achieve stage-ready volume levels.

The pressed steel chassis and 50-ounce magnet assembly create a stable foundation for the 2-inch voice coil, while the paper cone delivers natural midrange response across the 65Hz to 5kHz frequency range. At 16 ohms impedance, this driver works well in series wiring configurations and matches many vintage amp heads. The 9-pound construction provides the mass needed for tight low-frequency control.

Perfect for repairing blown PA speakers, building monitor wedges, or constructing guitar cabinets for clubs and rehearsal spaces. Works well in venues accommodating 50-150 people when paired with appropriate cabinet design and amplification.

This raw driver requires mounting in an appropriate cabinet with proper wiring connections. Compatible with standard speaker wire and binding posts or terminal cups. Ships ready to install with full technical specifications.

Backed by Seismic Audio's one-year warranty with fast shipping. Built for musicians and sound engineers who need dependable replacement components without the premium price.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size venues can this driver handle?

When properly mounted in an appropriate cabinet and powered with adequate amplification, this driver works well for clubs, rehearsal spaces, and small venues accommodating 50-150 people. The 125-watt RMS rating and 98 dB sensitivity provide sufficient output for most live sound applications in these settings.

Do I need special wiring for the 16-ohm impedance?

The 16-ohm impedance works with standard speaker wire and connects to binding posts or terminal cups like any speaker driver. This impedance is common in guitar amplifiers and works well when wiring multiple drivers in series configurations. Most amplifiers handle 16-ohm loads without issues.

Can I use this to replace a blown PA speaker?

Yes, this driver is designed as a direct replacement for many 10" PA woofers. Check your existing speaker's impedance, power rating, and mounting hole pattern before ordering. The pressed steel chassis and standard mounting dimensions fit most PA cabinet designs from the past two decades.

What cabinet size works best with this driver?

This woofer performs optimally in sealed or ported cabinets between 1.5 and 3 cubic feet internal volume. Smaller sealed boxes emphasize tight bass response, while larger ported designs extend low-frequency output. Cabinet design significantly affects the final frequency response and power handling characteristics.

How does this compare to the 8-ohm version?

The 16-ohm version provides the same power handling and frequency response as the 8-ohm model, but with different impedance characteristics. Choose 16-ohm for guitar amplifiers, series wiring configurations, or matching existing 16-ohm systems. The 8-ohm version works better for parallel wiring and most PA amplifiers.
