Big Bass. Small Space. Perfect Fit.
The DC Audio Shortie Series subwoofers are built for installs where depth is limited but performance can’t be compromised. Designed in both 10-inch and 12-inch models, these low-profile subs deliver the same hard-hitting sound you expect from DC Audio — just in a slimmer package.

With 500 watts RMS / 1000 watts peak power handling, Shorties hit tight, clean, and low in either sealed or ported enclosures — ideal for under-seat boxes, single-cab trucks, or tight cargo spaces in your Squarebody.

Why Choose the DC Audio Shortie

• Shallow-Mount Design: Perfect for limited-depth boxes and hidden installs.

• Serious Output: 500 W RMS / 1000 W peak power handling.

• FEA-Optimized Motor: Chrome top plate and T-yoke for tight, controlled bass.

• Built to Last: Reinforced paper cone, stitched surround, and heavy-duty tinsel leads.

• Flexible Setup: Works great in both sealed and ported enclosures.
