Wāvtech thinPRO10 – Shallow-Mount 10 inch Subwoofer

Introduction to the thinPRO10

Arrives 10/2, Now includes TP10G Protective Grille

The Wavtech thinPRO10 represents a groundbreaking achievement in shallow mount subwoofer technology, redefining what's possible when space is at a premium but performance cannot be compromised. This 10-inch professional series shallow subwoofer delivers an unprecedented combination of ultra-slim design and powerhouse performance that challenges everything you thought you knew about compact bass solutions.

With its patent-pending design and revolutionary engineering, the thinPRO10 is truly "the ultimate paradox" – a subwoofer so thin you'll question whether it can deliver serious bass, yet so powerful it rivals traditional deep-mount subwoofers that require three times the installation space. Whether you're working with a compact sports car, truck cab, or space-limited luxury vehicle, the thinPRO10 opens up installation possibilities that simply didn't exist before.

Revolutionary Ultra-Slim Design: Big Performance in a 2.9" Package

Impossibly Thin Profile

At just 2.9 inches mounting depth, the thinPRO10 is engineered to fit where other subwoofers simply cannot. This ultra-slim profile makes it the perfect solution for:

• Under-seat installations in trucks and SUVs
• Behind-panel mounting in sports cars and coupes
• Spare tire well applications without sacrificing storage
• Custom enclosures in space-constrained vehicles
• Stealth installations that maintain factory aesthetics

Patent-Pending Innovation

Wavtech's exclusive dual mirrored NBR spiders and axial force transfer assembly represents a fundamental breakthrough in shallow subwoofer design. This innovative system achieves what was previously impossible: maximum excursion in minimal space. The result is a 10-inch subwoofer that delivers the impact and depth typically associated with much larger, deeper subwoofers.

Uncompromising Performance Specifications

Massive 750W RMS Power Handling

The thinPRO10 doesn't just fit in tight spaces – it dominates them with authority.
