James Loudspeaker PP10-M - Passive 10" Powerpipe, Aluminum Cabinet

Product Overview

The James Loudspeaker PP10-M is a passive 10-inch Powerpipe subwoofer in a slim aluminum cabinet, engineered for concealed in-room bass in residential media rooms and commercial AV spaces. As an in-room Powerpipe subwoofer, the 10-inch driver hides inside cabinetry or a wall cavity while output vents through a flexible hose to a discreet toe-kick or ceiling-port grille. The aluminum cabinet adds rigidity and durability over the MDF-bodied PP10 for demanding, high-output installs.

Product Description

The PP10-M uses the Powerpipe pipe-style cabinet that tucks into a base cabinet, closet, or wall framing and ports its bass through a flexible tube to a finishing grille at the toe kick or ceiling. The 10-inch driver delivers deeper, higher-output bass than the 6.5- and 8-inch Powerpipes, and the aluminum cabinet suits projects where enclosure rigidity and long-term durability are priorities. As a passive subwoofer it requires external amplification, so the integrator controls crossover, level, and routing within a distributed audio or dedicated theater rack.

This aluminum model is the durable counterpart to the MDF-bodied PP10. Pair the PP10-M with a matching James Loudspeaker toe kick or ceiling-port adaptor to finish the install. For the complete lineup, see the James Loudspeaker collection.
