SS10-22 10" Signature Series DVC Subwoofer 2 Ohm per Coil
Quick Overview
The Dayton Audio SS10-22 Signature Series 10" Subwoofer is engineered for powerful, controlled bass from compact enclosures. With its rigid anodized aluminum cone, dual-spider suspension, and a massive triple-stacked motor structure, the SS10-22 maintains pistonic accuracy and low distortion even at extreme excursion. A 2.5" 4-layer copper voice coil on a vented aluminum former ensures excellent thermal handling, allowing the driver to manage up to 700 watts RMS without compression. Designed for DSP-assisted sealed enclosures or compact vented/passive radiator systems, the SS10-22 is equally at home in home theater, hi-fi listening rooms, or car audio installations where deep bass performance in a smaller footprint is required.Product Highlights
- Aluminum shorting sleeve, ring, and pole cap ensure linear inductance and ultra-low distortion
- Rigid anodized aluminum cone with indexed edge for pistonic accuracy and reduced resonance
- 2.5" 4-layer copper voice coil on a vented aluminum former for superior power handling and cooling
- Massive triple-stacked magnet assembly delivers exceptional strength and symmetry at high excursion
- Extensive venting through cone, pole piece, spider, and gap minimizes thermal buildup and compression
- Dual spider suspension with stitched tinsel leads for precise pistonic motion and enhanced durability

Rigid Cone, Maximum Control
At the front of the SS10-22 is a thick anodized one piece aluminum diaphragm that delivers the ideal balance of strength and low mass. This rigid diaphragm resists flexing even under extreme excursion, ensuring pistonic accuracy across its full operating range. An indexed edge enhances cone-to-surround stability, minimizing resonances, while the high-roll butyl rubber surround provides the travel necessary for deep bass without reducing effective cone area.
2.5" Voice Coil with Advanced Cooling
The SS10-22 is driven by a 2.5" diameter, 4-layer copper voice coil wound on a vented aluminum former. This design maximizes motor strength by placing more conductor in the magnetic gap while the aluminum former conducts heat away from the coil. With extensive venting through the former, spider, pole piece, and cone, the SS10-22 maintains stable performance under heavy loads, minimizing power compression and ensuring reliable operation in demanding systems.
Optimized Motor for Low Distortion
Supporting the voice coil is a massive, FEA-optimized, triple-stacked magnet assembly that produces a strong and symmetrical magnetic field. This motor design allows for identical forward and backward cone movement, keeping distortion exceptionally low even at long excursion. Precision-machined plates with sculpted edges maximize magnetic flux through the gap, while an aluminum shorting sleeve, pole cap, and top plate ring linearize inductance. These refinements reduce non-linearities and extend clean response into the midbass range for tight, accurate sound reproduction.
Consistent Performance at High Excursion
To maintain precise control during extreme excursion, the SS10-22 incorporates a dual spider suspension system. The spiders are widely spaced to ensure stable coil and cone alignment, preventing rocking motion and preserving pistonic accuracy. Stitched tinsel leads are integrated into the top spider, protecting against fatigue and eliminating unwanted noise from lead movement. Together, these features guarantee durability and consistent performance in high-output systems.
Power, Control, Flexibility, and Reliability
Compact, powerful, and precise, the Dayton Audio SS10-22 Signature Series 10" Subwoofer is an excellent choice for space-conscious systems that demand serious bass. Whether you’re building a compact home theater sub, upgrading a hi-fi listening setup, or integrating into a car audio design, the SS10-22 delivers deep, impactful bass with the control and accuracy that set Dayton Audio’s Signature Series apart from the competition.
