Product Overview
Bring low-frequency sound to a compact car-audio installation with the DS18 IXS10.4S IXS shallow 10-inch subwoofer. Its 3.66-inch mounting depth and 600W RMS power handling suit builds where space is limited and an appropriately matched amplifier is available.
The single 4-ohm voice coil and 10-inch size make this subwoofer a specific option for sealed enclosures with at least 14.2 L of internal volume.
Key Features & Benefits
- Shallow mounting depth: The 3.66-inch mounting depth helps with planning installations where depth is restricted.
- Power handling: The subwoofer is rated at 600W RMS and 1200W maximum.
- Single 4-ohm voice coil: This load provides a clear specification for selecting a suitable amplifier.
- Sealed enclosure recommendation: The minimum internal volume is 14.2 L (0.5 ft³), with an F3 of 44 Hz.
- Specified construction: A paper cone, stitched rubber surround, aluminum basket, and ferrite magnet define its materials.

Why Choose This Product?
The IXS10.4S combines a 10-inch driver with a shallow mounting profile, making depth an important selection point for compact car-audio builds. Its stated sealed-box recommendation gives you a defined enclosure volume to use when planning the system.
The 600W RMS rating, 4-ohm impedance, and 84 dB sensitivity provide key figures for comparing the subwoofer with other components. Its frequency response is listed as 20–800 Hz.
Installation & Compatibility Notes
Check the available mounting space against the 3.66-inch mounting depth, 4.48-inch overall depth, 9.25-inch cutout, and 10.63-inch overall diameter. The driver weighs 62 oz.
For the stated sealed enclosure recommendation, allow at least 14.2 L (0.5 ft³) of internal volume. Match the amplifier to the subwoofer’s 4-ohm impedance and 600W RMS rating, and account for the enclosure’s 0.9 L displacement when planning available internal volume.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the 600W RMS and 1200W MAX ratings mean?

Loading amplifier suggestions…
Suggestions use 75–125% of the subwoofer’s RMS rating at the wiring load shown. Check wiring, enclosure needs, electrical capacity and installation space. Set gain and filters correctly to avoid overpowering the subwoofer. Buying more than one subwoofer changes the match.
