Hybrid Cone

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.

Vertically Attached oSD Surround

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

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. The purpose of this ring is essentially to reduce the negative effects of the inductance that is inherently present in any loudspeaker. In short, this shorting ring will:

  • Improves power delivery to the voice coil
  • Decreases distortion
  • Contributes to linear cone movement
  • Improves high-end extension
  • Decreases risk of overheating
Optimized for Small Enclosures

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.

High Temperature Voice Coil

3" High Temperature 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.

Low Turbulence Basket

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

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.

Blow you mind

I own the vc model and have been truly impressed with nvx quality. I picked these up because of the sale price buy one get one. Then put the two woofers in a 2 cubic foot ported box tuned to 36 hz on a 1000 watt soundstream rubicon amp. I would put this setup against any 10 inch sound quality setup including jl which I have also owned. The sound and output of this sub is the best I have heard period

Completely Satisfied!

I have yet to experience better bass from a subwoofer. This thing hits deep, clean, and loud! I don't know about everyone else, but if you want sound quality and loudness this if the best buy for the money. I cant imagine having anything else now...

I have the woofer, and the ported box made for it. As well as a JBL amp putting out about 500w

BEST 10" WOOFER I'VE EVER OWNED!!

This is the cleanest, hardest hitting 10" woofer I've ever owned. I have it in the matching ported NVX box and its amazing. This woofer impressed me so much I'm going to swap my Focal mids and highs with NVX and never look back. NVX ALL THE WAY!!

Insane Woofer

Just had a this woofer installed in my 2013 Focus hatch and let me just say I could not be happier. This woofer is freaking insane, nothing but greatness comes out of this woofer. I'm so happy I was recommended this woofer by the Sonic team who helped me with my entire set up. If your thinking of getting a sub and not breaking the bank I will totally suggest going with this woofer and matching it with the JAD1200.1. THANK YOU SONIC!!!!

Wow!

My favorite sub ever! SQ is amazing and it Booms Big! The JAD900.5 pushes it well, but it just begs for more! NVX... Please bring this sub BACK! Thanks Sonic!

By Anonymous on September 11, 2018

Wow!

This was my favorite sub of all time! SQ is amazing! Nice Boom too!! A .55 cu ft box was perfect for my install. Ran on a JAD900.5, but I really think it wanted way more! Bring it back NVX! Thanks Sonic!

Discontinued

Unfortunately, this was dc'd.
I have two of these and they beat out the previous 12" NVX subs I have.
They are hefty due to the big magnet, but output well bc of that.
