What is a 10 inch subwoofer?
A 10 inch subwoofer is a mid-sized speaker designed to handle low-frequency sounds like deep basslines, kick drums, and heavy drops with greater power and range. Larger than an 8 inch sub, it delivers a stronger, more resonant bass that can fill your car with rich sound without sacrificing too much space. These subs are popular for daily drivers and audio enthusiasts, offering a noticeable bass boost while still being compact enough for easier installation. These are often housed in ported or sealed enclosures and work well in a variety of car audio setups.
How to choose a 10 inch subwoofer
When choosing a 10 inch subwoofer, think about how much bass you want and how much space you're working with. Look for specs like RMS power handling, sensitivity rating, and the type of enclosure, sealed for tight, accurate bass, or ported for more volume and boom. You’ll also want to check impedance (ohms) and whether it’s a single or dual voice coil to match it properly with your amplifier. Some 10 inch subwoofer models come powered with built-in amps, while others require an external amplifier for full performance.
A powerful bass upgrade for everyday driving
10 inch subs are ideal for those who want a step up in performance without committing to oversized gear. These suit a wide range of vehicles, from sedans and SUVs to dual cabs and hatches, and offer that extra bass punch for music styles like hip-hop, rock, EDM or anything in between. Whether you’re replacing a tired factory sub or building a new sound system from scratch, a 10 inch sub offers an impressive boost in sound quality and depth.

Frequently Asked Questions - 10 Inch Subwoofers
How big is a 10 inch subwoofer?
A 10 inch subwoofer refers to the diameter of the subwoofer's cone, which is 10 inches (25.4 cm) across. This measurement is for the speaker itself and doesn't account for the entire enclosure, which can vary in size depending on whether the sub is housed in a sealed or ported box. The overall size of the enclosure depends on the type and design of the subwoofer, but generally, a 10 inch subwoofer will require an enclosure that’s around 12 to 16 inches (30.5 to 40.6 cm) wide and 12 to 18 inches (30.5 to 45.7 cm) deep, depending on the model.
Are two 10 inch subwoofers really loud?
Yes, two 10-inch subwoofers can be very loud, especially when paired with the right amplifier and enclosure. With double the cone surface area, they produce deeper, punchier bass and higher volume levels. The loudness also depends on factors like amplifier power, enclosure type (sealed or ported), and vehicle acoustics. When properly set up, two 10-inch subs can deliver impressive sound that’s more than enough for most car audio setups.
What’s the difference between a 10 inch subwoofer and a 12 inch subwoofer?
A 10 inch sub delivers faster, punchier bass and takes up less room, making it ideal for everyday use. A 12 inch sub generally produces deeper, louder bass and is better suited for high-output systems or bass-heavy music, but it requires more space and power. If you're after a tight, responsive low-end that doesn't overpower your mids and highs, a 10 inch sub is a solid choice.
