Proline X Performance Optimized Down Fire Wide 10" Sealed
Under rear seat fitment for trucks and SUVs. Cut for the Prodigy NB2-10D4
The Down Fire Wide Format
Down Fire Wide is the Performance Optimized answer to a specific problem: the space under the rear seat of a truck or SUV, or a narrow cargo floor, is long and shallow, and the standard 30 by 15 inch Down Fire cabinet will not go in it.
This cabinet takes the same Prodigy NB2-10 and turns the footprint sideways. It runs 41 inches wide by 12 inches deep by 7.125 inches tall: 3 inches shallower front to back than the standard 30 x 15 cabinet and 11 inches longer. The airspace given up in depth is recovered along the length.
Which one to choose. If you have 15 inches of depth, the standard 30 x 15 Prodigy NB2-10 enclosure is the pick. Choose Down Fire Wide when depth is the limit: under a rear bench or on a narrow cargo floor, with at least 12 inches of depth and 41 inches of run.
Performance, Performance Optimized, and Micro
Proline X builds three tiers of Down Fire enclosure. The difference is not finish or materials, it is whether the cabinet was designed for a category or for a driver, and how much of the fitting work is already done for you.

This page is a Performance Optimized enclosure. The cutout, the cabinet height and the airspace all come from the Prodigy NB2-10D4's own published numbers. A Performance box fits your subwoofer. A Performance Optimized box was built for it.
Built Around the NB2-10D4
The baffle is bored to the NB2-10D4's 9.250 inch cutout, and the cabinet height is set by its 5.625 inch mounting depth. The 10.375 inch frame sits on the 12 inch deep baffle.
The NB2-10D4 is a dual 4-ohm ten rated 350 watts RMS and 700 watts peak, with 14mm of one-way Xmax at 70% BL. A 2.0 inch four-layer copper voice coil rides a black aluminum former inside a double-stacked magnet motor, with a center pole vent plus radial backplate holes for cooling. The tinsel leads are stitched to the spider, which prevents the ticking unstitched leads develop at high excursion.
Published Thiele-Small figures: Fs 34.295 Hz, Qts 0.514, Vas 21.054 liters, displacement 0.11 cubic feet.
Net Volume and Alignment
This cabinet holds 1.023 cubic feet net, from 1.140 gross, after the driver's 0.11 cubic feet of displacement.
Computed from Prodigy's published Fs, Qts and Vas, that produces Qtc 0.675 with Fc at 45.1 Hz and a predicted F3 of 47.3 Hz.
Height here is set by the driver, not the airspace. The 5.625 inch mounting depth puts the motor far enough into the cabinet that the height is fixed by motor clearance, 0.75 inch above the motor. At 7.125 inches tall the wide box holds 1.023 cubic feet net, more than the 0.96 cubic feet the standard 30 x 15 box was built to. More air lowers Qtc, which is the safe direction: a slightly more damped alignment with a gentler rolloff.
Prodigy recommends a 0.65 cubic foot sealed box for this driver, but a 5.625 inch driver cannot physically sit in one on this footprint. The larger box works in its favor: below the 0.707 reference, with a gentler rolloff and tighter transient control.
These are anechoic figures. Firing down into the floor, the sealed rolloff meets rising cabin gain, so in-car response extends below them.
Down Fire Wide Construction
Cut with V-groove and dado joinery on our ShopSabre routers from Langboard Elite 3/4 inch MDF, a dense 48.5 lb/ft³ board with a 200 psi internal bond and 410,000 psi MOE. Every panel joint is a machined interlocking groove that mechanically locks before adhesive is applied, which keeps the cabinet airtight under sustained pressure cycling. Corners are square on Down Fire cabinets, no radii. Polyfill is installed as a light wall lining, finished in plush black carpet.
The cabinet measures 41 inches wide by 12 inches deep by 7.125 inches tall, measured in the down fire position, excluding feet. The 1.75 inch feet ship with the enclosure but are not installed. Fitted, the installed height is 8.875 inches, so plan the space around where you intend to mount them.
1.5 Inch Double Baffle
Two 3/4 inch layers laminated to 1.5 inches, the outer layer machined as a flush recess so the driver bolts to the inner layer. 8/32 threaded inserts with stainless machine screws at every mounting location.
Frame on a 12 Inch Baffle
The 10.375 inch frame sits on the 12 inch deep baffle, bored to the 9.250 inch cutout, and the motor keeps 0.75 inch clear of the top panel.
Windowed U-Brace
A windowed U-brace ties the long top and bottom panels together across the 41 inch span without walling off the airspace.
Side-Mounted Terminal Cup
Proline X ABS and carbon fiber composite cup with stainless hardware and copper ring terminals, side mounted and pre-wired in 12 gauge OFC, so it stays accessible with the baffle facing the floor.
Power and Wiring
Prodigy rates the NB2-10D4 at 350 watts RMS and 700 watts peak. Set gains for 250 to 350 watts RMS. The coils are dual 4-ohm, so final impedance is set at the driver: 2 ohms with the coils in parallel, 8 ohms in series. Confirm your amplifier is stable at the load you choose before powering the system.
Bring your own Prodigy NB2-10D4; the driver is purchased separately. The enclosure carries a 1 year limited warranty. Questions on fitment or amplifier matching, call 931-563-5151.

Built From a Spec Sheet, Not a Sales Sheet
Every Proline X Performance Series enclosure is CNC-cut from Langboard Elite MDF, 3/4" (18mm) panels produced to published mill specifications. Most enclosure manufacturers source generic MDF without published data. We can tell you the internal bond rating, the modulus of elasticity, the modulus of rupture, and the face and edge screw holding strength for every panel in this enclosure, because we chose the material based on those numbers, not on price or availability.
Langboard Elite is produced in the United States. The specifications below are pulled directly from Langboard's published mill data and are verifiable. This is the same panel stock used in our full Proline X lineup.
Langboard Elite MDF: Published Mill Data
| Property | Value | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Panel Stock | Langboard Elite MDF | Named, verifiable panel source, not generic "high-density MDF" |
| Thickness | 3/4" (18mm) | Industry standard for subwoofer enclosures; panels below this flex under pressure |
| Density | 48.5 lbs/ft³ | Higher density = less porosity, better screw retention, reduced resonance |
| Internal Bond | 200 psi | Measures resistance to delamination under sustained internal pressure. The most enclosure-relevant spec on this sheet |
| Modulus of Rupture (MOR) | 4,200 psi | Bending strength before the panel breaks, relevant for larger unsupported baffle spans |
| Modulus of Elasticity (MOE) | 410,000 psi | Stiffness under load; higher MOE means less panel flex under bass pressure, less resonance |
| Face Screw Holding | 325 lbs | How firmly the panel surface holds a screw; critical for baffle joint integrity over time |
| Edge Screw Holding | 250 lbs | Panel edge retention, relevant for every joint that isn't face-to-face |
200 psi: The Number That Actually Matters for Enclosures
The internal bond rating measures how well the MDF panel resists delamination under sustained pressure applied perpendicular to the face. In a subwoofer enclosure, every bass transient generates a pressure pulse that pushes outward on every panel simultaneously. A panel that begins to delaminate internally loses stiffness gradually. The symptoms are slow: a box that starts to sound softer, less defined, less punchy over months of use. 200 psi internal bond is the spec that determines how long this enclosure holds its acoustic integrity under daily use at real power levels.
410,000 psi MOE: Less Flex, Less Resonance
The modulus of elasticity measures panel stiffness, its resistance to bending under load. A stiffer panel flexes less under the pressure generated by a high-excursion driver at volume. Panel flex is a source of acoustic coloration: the panel itself begins to radiate sound at its own resonant frequency, adding distortion to the output. 410,000 psi stiffness combined with V-groove and dado joinery means the panels stay rigid and the bracing controls resonance at the structure level, not the panel level. The bass you hear comes from the driver, not the box.
325 lb Face / 250 lb Edge: Joints That Stay Locked
Screw holding strength determines how firmly the panel grips a fastener at the face and at the edge. This matters most at the baffle joint, where the front panel meets the side panels and where the driver is mounted. A panel with low screw holding strength allows fasteners to loosen over time under vibration, leading to air gaps at the joint and loss of acoustic seal. 325 lb face screw holding strength means the baffle hardware stays put. Combined with dado joinery and adhesive, the front panel on a Proline X Performance Series enclosure is not going anywhere.
Named Panel Stock: Not "Premium MDF"
The phrase "premium MDF" or "high-density MDF" appears on marketing copy for enclosures across every price point, from $40 to $400. It is not a specification. It is a description with no defined standard. Langboard Elite is a named, sourced, mill-documented product with published data. We name it in our copy because naming it holds us accountable to the spec. You can look up Langboard Elite independently, verify the numbers on this page, and confirm you are getting what we say you are getting. That is the point.
Why Proline X?
Most enclosures are built to a price point. Proline X is built to a spec. Every box starts with published-data MDF, gets CNC-cut to exact internal volume, and is assembled by hand in our Tennessee facility. The difference shows up in the measurements, and in how the box holds up two years into daily use.
CNC-Cut to Spec
Panels are machine-cut on ShopSabre CNC routers and joined with V-groove and dado joinery. Consistent geometry, no hand-cut variance, no gaps at the joints.
Handcrafted in USA
Hand-assembled at our facility in Tullahoma, TN. Every enclosure is inspected before it ships.
Tuned to the Build
Internal volume and port geometry are calculated to spec and CNC-cut to exact dimensions. The box performs the same way every time.
