Coil Configuration

Description

The DC Audio PS3 10" Subwoofer is a hand-built, USA-made driver designed to excel in sealed or ported enclosures and even open-air installations, delivering deep, controlled bass for enthusiast builds.

  • Power Handling (RMS/Peak): 1250 Watts RMS / 2500 Watts peak — provides substantial headroom for dynamic bass transients without clipping when paired with a suitable amplifier.
  • Voice Coil Options: Dual 1 Ω or Dual 2 Ω versions — lets you match the driver to different amp loads and wiring configurations for optimal damping and efficiency.
  • Rigid cone assembly: Extremely rigid non-pressed paper cone with a multilayered polymer foam surround — helps keep cone breakup low for tighter bass in real-world listening.
  • Internal venting and cooling: Rear gap venting and a pole vent — improves cooling stability and reduces thermal compression in demanding sessions, especially in open-air or compact enclosures.
  • Motor and frame: Triple-stacked FEA-optimized motor with a cast aluminum black frame and a CNC-machined assembly; 2.5 mm aluminum shorting ring; rubber magnet cover — delivers strong, linear magnetics and reliable motor control.
  • Voice coil and terminals: 3" high-temp voice coil on a black anodized former; chrome spring-loaded push terminals — supports high power handling with durable, repeatable connections.
  • Size and fit: 10" driver with 6.25" mounting depth, 9.35" mounting hole diameter, and 11" outside driver diameter; VC diameter 3.0" — straightforward fit in many shallow or mid-depth enclosures.
  • Enclosure suggestions: Sealed box around 0.65 ft³; ported box around 1.0 ft³ — guidance for achieving solid bass in smaller spaces while preserving output control.
  • Sound and sensitivity: Ref SPL @ 1 watt 78.65 dB — indicates strong efficiency for a driver of this class, contributing to audible output with moderate amplifier power.

In a real car build, the PS3 10" shines as a rugged, high-power driver that can live in compact sealed enclosures or larger ported boxes, while also performing reliably in open-air installations. Its construction emphasizes endurance and precise control, making it a solid foundation for a high-impact, enthusiast-grade bass system.
