Performance Optimized Down Fire Wide Sealed 10" Shallow Sub Enclosure Wavtech thinPRO10 · Single 10" Sealed enclosure

Because it is only 12 inches deep. Our standard Performance Optimized Down Fire cabinet for this driver is 30 wide by 15 deep, and this one is built for spaces three inches shallower than that, typically under the rear seat of a truck or SUV or on a narrow cargo floor.

Airspace has to come from somewhere. Losing depth means recovering it along the length, so the cabinet runs 41 inches long and stands 4.375 inches tall, and the driver still gets a properly sized chamber. If your space is wide and shallow rather than deep, this is the shape that works.

Same driver, different shape. The standard cabinet is 30 by 15 by 4.25 inches and holds 0.40 cubic feet net. This cabinet is 41 by 12 by 4.375 inches and holds 0.464 cubic feet net.

The wide cabinet holds more air because its height is set by the driver's mounting depth rather than by a volume target, and a larger sealed box runs a slightly lower Qtc, which is the safe direction. Choose on the space: with 15 inches of depth the standard cabinet is the pick; if depth stops at 12 inches and you have 41 inches of run, this one fits.

Both are single voice coil, so the impedance is fixed by which model you buy: 2 ohms for the -2, 4 ohms for the -4. Start by checking what load your amplifier is stable and efficient into.

Acoustically they are close. In this cabinet the -2 lands at Qtc 0.833, Fc 47.0 Hz, F3 40.9 Hz, and the -4 lands at Qtc 0.788, Fc 48.5 Hz, F3 44.0 Hz, marginally better damped but about 3 Hz shallower. Both carry the same 750 watt RMS rating and the same 20mm of excursion.

Because its height is set by the driver's mounting depth plus the 0.75 inch of clearance we hold above the motor, rather than by a volume target. Wāvtech specifies no rear clearance for this driver, but the wide cabinet keeps our standard clearance and stands 4.375 inches tall.

On a 41 by 12 footprint that height holds 0.464 cubic feet net, more than the 0.40 the standard cabinet holds. More air in a sealed box lowers Qtc, which is the safe direction.

Wāvtech rates the thinPRO10 at 750 watts RMS with 2250 watts peak, and recommends 250 to 750 watts of amplifier power. Aim for the upper half of that range.

Sensitivity is 81 dB on the -2 and 82 dB on the -4, which is low. That is the tradeoff for packing a 4.5 inch coil and 20mm of excursion into a 2.875 inch frame, and underpowering this driver leaves significant output unused.

Side mounted. Every Proline X Performance Optimized enclosure uses a side mounted terminal cup regardless of alignment, whether standard, wedge, or down fire. On this cabinet that keeps the connection fully accessible with the enclosure in its installed position, since the baffle faces the floor. The cup is our Proline X ABS and carbon fiber composite unit, recessed, with stainless hardware, copper ring terminals, and pre-wired 12 gauge OFC.

V-groove and dado joinery, CNC-cut on ShopSabre routers from Langboard Elite MDF, with every joint machined to lock mechanically before adhesive goes on, which keeps the cabinet airtight under sustained pressure cycling. A windowed U-brace ties the front and rear walls together across the 41 inch span.

The front baffle is a 1.5 inch double layer, with the outer layer machined as a flush recess so the driver bolts to the inner layer. Corners are square, polyfill is installed as a light wall lining, and the 1.75 inch standoffs ship uninstalled. Assembled and inspected in Tullahoma, Tennessee.

No. This listing is for the enclosure only. Bring your own Wāvtech thinPRO10-2 or thinPRO10-4. The cutout and mounting depth are direct fit for either version.
