XL-1044D 10-Inch Dual 4-Ohm Subwoofer | Safe and Sound

The XL-1044D is the dual voice coil version of PowerBass’s 10-inch XL subwoofer, pairing deep, powerful bass with the wiring flexibility that dual coils bring. Rated at 350W RMS with a 700W maximum and reaching down to 28 Hz, it delivers genuinely deep low end from a manageable enclosure. At Safe and Sound we have spent over 30 years building bass systems, and the XL-1044D is a flexible, great-value way to add serious bass to almost any car.

Why choose the dual voice coil XL-1044D?

The XL-1044D’s two separate 4-ohm voice coils are its key advantage. You can wire them in parallel for a 2-ohm load or in series for an 8-ohm load, letting you match the subwoofer to your amplifier’s ideal impedance, or combine multiple subs to reach a specific load. If your setup is simpler and a single 4-ohm coil suits you better, its sibling the single-coil XL-1044 covers that, so it is worth matching the version to how you plan to wire your system.

Deep bass, sensible size

PowerBass designed the XL Series for extended low frequency response, and the 10-inch XL-1044D takes full advantage of it, digging down to 28 Hz. A proprietary non-pressed paper cone with a DDC coating delivers smooth, natural low end with low distortion even at high output, while a large-roll Santoprene surround lets the cone move freely for real impact.

• 10-inch dual 4-ohm subwoofer, 350W RMS / 700W max
• Two 4-ohm voice coils for flexible wiring (2 ohm or 8 ohm)
• Reaches down to 28 Hz for deep bass
• Non-pressed paper DDC-coated cone for smooth, low-distortion bass
• 2-inch vented BASV voice coil former with Aero-Vent cooling

Built to stay cool, and to last

Bass puts heat through a voice coil, so the XL-1044D is built to manage it. A 2-inch vented BASV voice coil former, combined with perimeter and pole Aero-Vent cooling, keeps air circulating to keep temperatures down on long, loud sessions. The non-resonant polycarbonate and glass-fibre turbine-style basket supports dual stack magnets and an extended dome backplate for solid performance, and chrome push terminals ensure strong current transfer from your amplifier. It is happy in both small sealed and ported enclosures.

Key specifications

Professional fitting from Safe and Sound

A dual voice coil subwoofer gives you options, but those options only pay off if the wiring, enclosure and amplifier all work together. Get the box volume, tuning and impedance right and the XL-1044D rewards you with clean, deep bass. With more than three decades of car audio and vehicle security experience, Safe and Sound can supply the XL-1044D on its own, build or recommend the right enclosure, and wire it to the correct impedance for your amplifier so you get the best possible result.
