Free Air Subwoofer Design

The RECON 10 is a ten inch car subwoofer built specifically for infinite baffle installations. It delivers maximum performance without a tuned enclosure, making it ideal for mounting under a seat while using the cargo area as the enclosure volume. This design simplifies bass integration for vehicles where traditional box space is unavailable.

Impedance and Sensitivity

The unit presents a four ohm load and offers a sensitivity rating of 89dB at one watt measured at one meter. Its frequency response spans 20 to 40 hertz, allowing deep low frequency reproduction with moderate amplifier power. The composite frame and Santoprene spider construction contribute to stable operation during normal listening levels.

Power Handling Under Load

Continuous power handling is rated at 200 watts RMS with a peak capacity of 400 watts. The injection molded composite cone and Nylas composite frame are engineered to withstand sustained output without the thermal constraints of a sealed box. Buyers who need an enclosed alignment or higher continuous power should consider alternative designs.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the RECON 10 free-air subwoofer and what is the common mistake?

Mount it in a sealed panel such as a rear deck or seat back so the cargo area acts as the enclosure; the common mistake is leaving gaps that let front and rear waves cancel, which destroys bass output.

What part of the RECON 10 will need replacement first?

The Santoprene spider and composite surround are built for long life, but the voice coil is the component that eventually fails if the 200 W RMS thermal limit is repeatedly exceeded.

At what power level does the RECON 10 reach its thermal limit during extended play?

The 200 W RMS rating is the continuous thermal limit; running the subwoofer above this level for long periods causes voice-coil overheating and compression.
