Infinity SSW-10
Little is documented about the Infinity SSW-10. The record shows it was a powered subwoofer, part of a generation of home-audio subs that Infinity produced alongside their better-known Kappa and IRS lines. It appears to have been a more compact offering, likely using a 10-inch driver given the model number. Exact driver size and enclosure details are not confirmed in surviving materials.
What we do have is a strong showing in a period group test. In a 12-subwoofer comparison published by Audio (January 1996, p.33), the SSW-10 was credited with reaching 23 Hz in a living-room setup and producing 104 dB SPL when run solo. Reviewer Tom Nousaine described it as “a bravura performance,” and noted that it added “a great deal of clean and subtle depth to orchestral music.” Those are solid numbers for a compact sub of the mid-1990s.
Beyond that review, the paper trail is thin. No original price, production years, or sales figures have surfaced. The SSW-10 remains a capable but scarcely documented entry in Infinity’s 1990s subwoofer lineup—one that clearly impressed the reviewers who heard it.
