James Loudspeaker PP10 - Passive 10" Powerpipe, MDF Cabinet

Product Overview

The James Loudspeaker PP10 is a passive 10-inch Powerpipe subwoofer in an MDF cabinet, designed 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. This hidden subwoofer format delivers substantial low-frequency output with no visible enclosure in the finished room.

Product Description

The PP10 is built on 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, making it suited to larger media rooms and theater spaces that still require a concealed install. As a passive subwoofer it requires external amplification, so the integrator sets crossover, level, and routing within a distributed audio or dedicated theater rack.

This model uses an MDF cabinet; the aluminum-bodied counterpart is the PP10-M. Pair the PP10 with a matching James Loudspeaker toe kick or ceiling-port adaptor to finish the install. For the full range, see the James Loudspeaker collection.
