Orion XTR 10 DVC (original)

10″ subwoofer · dual 4 Ω

The Orion XTR 10 DVC (original) is a 10″ subwoofer. With Qts 0.55 and EBP 56 it works both sealed and ported: sealed is tighter and smaller, ported is deeper and louder. Modest excursion (Xmax 0.30″) — for clean sound at moderate levels, not for SPL competitions.

Recommended box

For a sedan, one sub, 300 W. It’s the same math as the designer’s step-by-step mode, where you can fit the box to your space, vehicle and amp and get plans, a cut sheet and DXF.
