Dayton Audio SS10-22 10" Signature Series DVC Subwoofer
The Dayton Audio SS10-22 Signature Series 10" Subwoofer is designed to deliver serious output and accuracy in compact, high-performance subwoofer systems. Handling up to 700 watts RMS, this driver combines rugged construction with engineering refinements that allow it to excel in DSP-assisted sealed enclosures, compact vented systems, or passive radiator designs. The SS10-22 is a versatile solution for home theater setups, audiophile-grade music systems, and car audio installations where space is limited but impactful bass is a must.

Rigid Cone, Maximum Control
At the front of the SS10-22 is a thick anodized one piece aluminum diaphragm that delivers the ideal balance of strength and low mass. This rigid diaphragm resists flexing even under extreme excursion, ensuring pistonic accuracy across its full operating range. An indexed edge enhances cone-to-surround stability, minimizing resonances, while the high-roll butyl rubber surround provides the travel necessary for deep bass without reducing effective cone area.
2.5" Voice Coil with Advanced Cooling
The SS10-22 is driven by a 2.5" diameter, 4-layer copper voice coil wound on a vented aluminum former. This design maximizes motor strength by placing more conductor in the magnetic gap while the aluminum former conducts heat away from the coil. With extensive venting through the former, spider, pole piece, and cone, the SS10-22 maintains stable performance under heavy loads, minimizing power compression and ensuring reliable operation in demanding systems.
Optimized Motor for Low Distortion
Supporting the voice coil is a massive, FEA-optimized, triple-stacked magnet assembly that produces a strong and symmetrical magnetic field. This motor design allows for identical forward and backward cone movement, keeping distortion exceptionally low even at long excursion. Precision-machined plates with sculpted edges maximize magnetic flux through the gap, while an aluminum shorting sleeve, pole cap, and top plate ring linearize inductance. These refinements reduce non-linearities and extend clean response into the midbass range for tight, accurate sound reproduction.
Consistent Performance at High Excursion
To maintain precise control during extreme excursion, the SS10-22 incorporates a dual spider suspension system. The spiders are widely spaced to ensure stable coil and cone alignment, preventing rocking motion and preserving pistonic accuracy. Stitched tinsel leads are integrated into the top spider, protecting against fatigue and eliminating unwanted noise from lead movement. Together, these features guarantee durability and consistent performance in high-output systems.
Power, Control, Flexibility, and Reliability
Compact, powerful, and precise, the Dayton Audio SS10-22 Signature Series 10" Subwoofer is an excellent choice for space-conscious systems that demand serious bass. Whether you’re building a compact home theater sub, upgrading a hi-fi listening setup, or integrating into a car audio design, the SS10-22 delivers deep, impactful bass with the control and accuracy that set Dayton Audio’s Signature Series apart from the competition.
Matching Passive Radiator Available
To unlock the full potential of the SS10-22, Dayton Audio offers the SS10-PR, 10" Signature Series passive radiator, designed to visually and mechanically match the driver. Using a passive radiator system allows for deep low-frequency extension in compact enclosures without the turbulence or impractically long ports of vented designs. This approach provides the impact of a ported system with reduced group delay and smaller box size—making it an ideal solution for home theater and car audio builds alike.
