Egyptian Papyrus-Blend Cone
The NVX X-Series features an ultra stiff, lightweight cone material custom made from finely milled pulp & Egyptian Papyrus fibers. The cone is treated with a soft matte black finish for a stylish and modern look.
Patented Surround Technology
XQW woofers are engineered with a unique oSD (oversized SD) surround. This patented technology involves attaching the surround on a vertical edge for increased surface area, which translates to more bass. Additionally, the surround itself is constructed with a multi-radius elliptical edge for incredibly symmetrical, linear cone movement.
Aluminum Shorting Ring
Another feature which seperates the X-Series from other woofers on the market is the innovative aluminum shorting ring. The shorting ring is basically a conductive aluminum ring placed between the pole piece and the voice coil former. This ring will essentially reduce the negative effects of the inductance which is inherently present in any loudspeaker. In short, this shorting ring:
Space Efficient Design
These subwoofers only require 6" of mounting depth to produce intensely powerful bass. NVX utilized the latest loudspeaker technology to design a space-saving subwoofer without the anemic sound of typical shallow-mount woofers. NVX claims that the X-Series is "The discerning listener's alternative" to such shallow subwoofers, and we agree.
3" High-Temp Voice Coil
The stout 3" high temperature voice coil is constructed from a copper wire wrapped around an TSV TIL former. This industry standard design is powerful enough to readily drive the cone with strict linear control, yet at the same time remains efficient enough for the compact, space saving magnet structure. The black appearance of the coil is a result of the special treatment which is applied to improve power handling and heat dissipation.
Custom Cast Aluminum Basket
The custom basket of the X-Series woofer is striking in terms of both aesthetics and engineering. A particularly open basket was designed in order to improve airflow for superior cone response and reduced back-wave interference. NVX engineers chose aluminum both for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, as well as to eliminate interference with the magnet structure.
High Excursion Tinsel Leads
The tinsel leads used in the X-Series woofer are a small example of the incredible attention to detail of the NVX engineers. These tinsel leads are attached at the basin of each fold in the spider with sufficient slack for full excursion. This prevents damage to the leads from the movement of the cone, while also keeping them securely attached to prevent mechanical noise.

Note to buyers
i do not own one but as a note, the other reviewer bought it for spl, its NOT an spl subwoofer, its an SQ sub, meaning, NOT MEANT FOR LOUD, its MEANT FOR SOUND QUALITY, if your looking for spl, get the vcw, i've seen videos and they are insane, they cause large window and roof flex as well as slight tire flex on one 12
NOTE: i made everything 5 stars cause the only way i can post is if i do that, and i'm an nvx fan.

This review is based on using the subs for a day and a half. Marginally recommend this sub for SQ but not SPL. My attraction is their small sealed box airspace minimum requirement. I called and talked to NVX tech support and they recommended using .5 cu ft airspace for each one in a sealed application. I purchased 2 of them, put them each in seperate sealed boxes with almost .5 cu ft each. I have an Kicker IX1000.1 amp pushing both of them, so they are seeing just short of 500 w rms each. I am not impressed with their SPL (and mildly dissapointed), but what SPL is there, the SQ sounds pretty good, they just haven't earned an excellent rating yet. Considering their price now ($*** each), I think one can achieve a similiar sound at a lower price point. Polk Audio MM subs come to mind (I've used before but they need quite a bit of airspace). I should probably update this review after a couple of weeks (don't know if they will improve with a break-in period, but I hope so).

Ladies and Gentlemen, this sub is for pure sound quality. NVX is the REAL DEAL! I've been searching for the perfect sub and this is it! Incredible musical accuracy, beautiful lows, smooth response, automotive bass perfection! I can't wait to get back into my car again and listen. My interior components (JL C5's) cannot keep up with the sq of this sub! Time to upgrade lol. This sub is NOT for spl, but for perfect bass reproduction. If you are an sq nut, buy this sub! Also, I have this matched with the nvx brand ported enclosure.

found this helpful.Great SQ Sub
After using 2 of these 10's for a couple of months, I recommend them for SQ right off the bat. SPL was lacking initially, had both of them on an Kicker IX1000.1 (about 450 watts rms each) and each sub in .475 sealed chambers. After marginal SPL, I put both on a Kicker ZXS1500.1 (about 600-650 rms each). Great improvement, but I still wanted more SPL. I called and talked to the manufacturer, they said increase the sealed box size or go to ported boxes. I opted for larger sealed boxes (.7 cu ft each). Again, great improvement and now I am SPL satisfied and can recommend them for SQ (never in question) and SPL.

Very clear deep bass. Probably the best sub I've owned so far and definitely enough bass for my little coupe. Definitely recommend and paired with the similar ported box.
