James Loudspeaker QXC10S-S - QX Style 10" In Ceiling Subwoofer Square

Product Overview

The James Loudspeaker QXC10S-S is a QX-style 10-inch in-ceiling subwoofer with a square grille, engineered for high-output concealed bass in residential media rooms, home theaters, and commercial AV spaces. As a passive in-ceiling subwoofer, it installs into the ceiling plane to deliver low-frequency output while keeping a clean, low-profile architectural appearance. The 10-inch driver provides more output than the 8-inch QXC8S models, and the square grille suits ceilings designed around square openings.

Product Description

The QXC10S-S mounts into the ceiling and uses a 10-inch driver to add substantial low-frequency support without a visible floor-standing or in-wall enclosure, making it suited to larger rooms where the ceiling is the cleanest location for bass. It is the square-grille member of the QXC10S family; a round-grille version is offered as the QXC10S-R. 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, the QXC10S-PB pre-construction bracket and the QXC10S-S-PBF flush-mount pre-construction bracket support rough-in and trimless finishes. For the full lineup, see the James Loudspeaker collection.
