James Loudspeaker QX1010 - QX Style 10" Forward Firing Subwoofer

Product Overview

The James Loudspeaker QX1010 is a QX-style 10-inch forward-firing subwoofer engineered for architectural low-frequency reinforcement in dedicated home theaters, residential media rooms, and commercial AV spaces. As a passive forward-firing subwoofer, it mounts in-wall or in a soffit to direct bass into the room while keeping a low-profile architectural footprint. The QX1010 brings the QX-series in-room subwoofer format to projects that need concealed, integrated bass without a freestanding enclosure.

Product Description

The QX1010 is built around a single 10-inch driver in a forward-firing configuration, designed to be installed into wall framing or a custom soffit so its output fires directly into the listening space. This makes it suited to dedicated theaters and media rooms where a clean architectural look is required alongside meaningful low-frequency output. Because it is a passive subwoofer, it requires external amplification, giving the integrator control over crossover, level, and routing within a distributed audio or dedicated theater rack.

For pre-construction installs, James offers matching brackets — the QX1010PB pre-construction bracket and the QX1010PBF flush-mount pre-construction bracket — to set rough-in location before walls are closed. A dual-driver version is offered as the QX1020. For the full range, see the James Loudspeaker collection.
