OSD IWS1010" 200W Pro Series In-Wall Home Theater Subwoofer, Easy Install & Paintable Grill, Single
Few components add more to the home theater experience than a subwoofer. A subwoofer is designed to reproduce the lowest of audible frequencies and will give you that spine-tingling rumble effect that takes you out of reality and into the plot. The beauty of OSD Audio in-wall subs is that you'll experience that thunderous, room-filling bass without filling up floor space. An excellent in-wall subwoofer at an excellent price, the OSD-IWS10 is a 10-inch passive subwoofer with power handling up to 200 Watts. Installation is easy with our "easy in" mounting bracket that mounts to the sheet-rock after the cut-out hole has been made. The grille is also paintable to match your room decor and we include a cutout template that doubles as a paint shield.
Features:
- 10" Polypropylene Subwoofer
- Butyl Rubber Surround
- "Easy In" Mounting Bracket
- Integrated Rear Dust Shield
- Spray Paint-able Frame Grill
Amplifier Suggestions
Because this is a passive speaker, it will require a subwoofer amplifier to power it. An ideal match to this subwoofer is our OSD SMP500, a dedicated subwoofer amplifier that features 400W RMS @ 4 ohms, which would allow you to power 2 of these subwoofers wired in parallel. This subwoofer amplifier offers a variable high cut filter 30Hz-150Hz; front panel knob, and choice of signal level Input or LFE (Low-Frequency Effects).

Hello,
Are there any limits as to what type of amplifier one Can use with this Subwoofer? We are planning on building our own Monoblock Vacuum Tube Amplifier (such as the Velleman K8010 Monobloc Vacuum Tube Amplifier Kit). Would this sub be ok to use with such an amplifier? Any extra special wires needed? We feel that the larger the wire, the better the sound output, so even though it is only about 30' of wire that will be needed, we feel to choose a 12AWG for our application. What are your thoughts?
I read some of TL's answers to other customers questions and hope we can get some advice as well.
Thank you very much!
Jasmine & Brian

Hi Jasmine and Brian,
This subwoofer should work for your application; in fact you should consider utilizing two of these subs. According to the specs of the Velleman Monobloc, it will handle a 4- or 8-ohm load so using two of the IWS-10 in parallel would present the 4-ohm load. This will maximize the output from your system. Is this part of an audio system or primarily for home theater? If it is for home theater, consider separating the two drivers in the room; perhaps one in the front and the other in the back. If you mount these in the wall, it’s important to build an enclosure for isolation behind the woofer. (We are looking into the Thiele/Small parameters along with some recommendations of enclosure sizes.) These are infinite baffle and are designed to work in a broader range of applications (space available).
Regarding the 12 gauge, bigger is better for running low frequencies. We typically recommend a minimum gauge on speaker wire, rarely a maximum gauge. For example we recommend a minimum 16 gauge up to 80 feet and 14 gauge up to 200 feet. A 12-gauge wire would work in your application, especially for 30 feet.
Good luck!

I want to put these in my home theater that I building from scratch. The walls are open and I build any size enclosure for this subwoofer in the wall. I've seen lots of questions regarding this topic; but, no firm answers. What size is recommended?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Rob,
Determining the right size of the subwoofer depends on many variables, including room size and shape, surround sound speaker locations, etc. Without more information on your room, we can't give you a definitive answer. However, consider that the better AV receivers feature dual subwoofer outputs for a reason. Based upon the natural characteristics of the low frequencies in your room, a single subwoofer will tend to have dead spots. Also. it is easier to find the ideal placement of the subwoofer when using an external powered subwoofer. Take a look at our learning section for some helpful information on home theater subwoofers.

Do you sell an amp that powers these? I see the SMP60 100W Subwoofer Amplifier on the site, but afraid they might not be sufficient to power these?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Daniel,
The IWS10 subwoofer is offered as a combo with our SMP250 mono subwoofer amp. Simply type in 'IWS10' in the keyword search and it should pop right up. The SMP250 amp will have the necessary power for the sub.

I am looking to put a home theater 5.1 or 7.1 in a screened in porch. My wife wants ceiling mounted speakers. What would you recommend? Should the center and sub be in wall? The receiver will likely be inside and iPhone/Ipad controlled so I don't think I need an outdoor amp or volume control. Can you get me started? Best, Mike
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Mike,
Thanks for showing interest in our products. How sealed off is the patio? Will moisture still affect this area? If so, you should check out our outdoor rated in-ceiling speakers. We have 6.5" or 8" versions - the ICE600WRS or the ICE800WRS. There are also dual-tweeter versions of each of those models which are sold as a single speaker rather than a pair. The subwoofer will be tricky, because the in-wall subs aren't rated for outdoors. We do have a rock sub (HF26) or an omni sub (OMSUB200) that can be outdoors, but need an amp to power them. Let us know if you have any further questions. Thanks!
