SS18-22 18" Signature Series DVC Subwoofer 2 Ohm per Coil

Dayton Audio SS18-22 18" Signature Series DVC Subwoofer

Designed for massive low-frequency output, the Dayton Audio SS18-22 Signature Series 18" Subwoofer is the ideal driver for high-power low distortion subwoofer systems. Capable of handling 1,300 watts RMS and delivering deep, controlled bass at extreme excursion, the SS18-22 is built for audiophiles that demand both high SPL and precision. Its combination of brute force and refined engineering ensures it delivers not only thunderous bass, but also the control and accuracy needed for music and cinematic applications.

Optimized Motor for Low Distortion

At the heart of the driver is a massive, FEA-optimized, triple-stacked magnet assembly that generates a powerful and symmetrical magnetic field. This ensures identical forward and backward cone travel, minimizing distortion even at the limits of excursion. Precision-machined plates with sculpted edges maximize magnetic transfer, while an aluminum shorting ring, huge pole cap, and shorting sleeve work to linearize inductance across the entire stroke. The result is reduced distortion, tighter control, and extended output into the mid-bass and upper bass ranges.

Power, Control, Flexibility, and Reliability

With its uncompromising design, robust construction, and cutting-edge engineering, the Dayton Audio SS18-22 is a subwoofer built for enthusiasts and professionals who demand the very best in low-frequency performance. Whether used in a high output vented design or compact DSP assisted sealed system, it provides the power, accuracy, and durability needed to anchor any system with authoritative, room-shaking bass. The SS18-22 proudly represents the next level in Dayton Audio’s Signature Series—bringing together innovation and performance in one formidable driver.

Note: The SS18-22 subwoofer is a dual voice coil driver with a 2-ohm impedance per coil. All parameters are measured with the voice coil wires in series, resulting in a single 4-ohm load.
