Sonance R10SUB – 10-Inch Reference In-Wall Subwoofer

Product Overview

The Sonance R10SUB is a 10-inch in-wall subwoofer driver from the Reference Series, built for integrators who need dedicated bass extension without a floor-standing cabinet. It targets home theater and whole-home audio installs where a low-profile, paintable subwoofer is required. The laminated carbon fiber cone and rubber surround deliver tight, controlled bass down to 30Hz, and the driver is designed to disappear into a standard wall or ceiling cavity.

Product Description

As part of the Sonance Reference Series, the R10SUB is engineered to blend into a standard wall or ceiling cavity while producing low end comparable to a floor-standing subwoofer. The 10-inch laminated carbon fiber cone and rubber surround combine for accurate, well-damped bass reproduction rated 30Hz to 250Hz (±3dB) at 88dB sensitivity. An individual crossover network is built into the driver, keeping output detailed even at higher volumes. Because the R10SUB is a driver only, it must be paired with the matching R10SUB in-wall enclosure to control airflow and limit sound transfer into adjacent rooms. Integrators building out a complete in-wall system can browse our in-wall subwoofer enclosures to source the matching R10SUB enclosure. The perforated steel grille ships in white and is paintable to match surrounding wall or ceiling surfaces. Sonance backs the R10SUB with a limited lifetime warranty, including a 5-year warranty on the grille when purchased through an authorized dealer. The R10SUB mixes and matches with other Reference Series speakers, giving designers flexibility across a room's full speaker layout. Its compact 3.16-inch mounting depth fits standard 2x4 stud bays, simplifying both retrofit and new-construction installs.
