Key Features & Benefits
- DDC-coated paper/wool cone: A stiff cone helps keep movement controlled for low-distortion bass.
- Large roll foam surround: Supports linear cone movement and controlled excursion at higher output.
- Vented coil cooling: The 2-inch BASV voice coil former is vented to help dissipate heat during extended bass use.
- Stamped steel basket: The non-resonant, DDC-coated basket includes perimeter aero-vent cooling to help reduce mechanical noise and temperature rise.
- Compact enclosure options: Designed for small sealed or ported enclosures, giving you flexibility when planning a space-conscious build.

Why Choose This Product?
The S-1004 pairs a compact enclosure design with substantial power handling for a space-conscious bass system. Its 33 Hz lower frequency response and 9 mm Xmax support bass fundamentals, while the cooling features are designed for demanding listening sessions.
The 4-ohm impedance gives you an important matching point when selecting an amplifier. Check its output at that load and compare it with the subwoofer’s RMS rating to plan a suitable system.
Installation & Compatibility Notes
Allow for the 9 1/8-inch cutout diameter and 5.25-inch mounting depth when checking available space. The driver is designed for small sealed or ported enclosures; confirm your enclosure is appropriate for the S-1004 before installation.
Match the amplifier and subwoofer at the stated 4-ohm impedance, and use the RMS power rating when assessing amplifier output. The supplied details do not give an enclosure volume or tuning frequency, so do not assume a specific box design.
