James Loudspeaker PP12-2 - Passive 12" Powerpipe, Dual Hose, MDF Cabinet

Product Overview

The James Loudspeaker PP12-2 is a passive 12-inch Powerpipe subwoofer in an MDF cabinet with dual hose vents, built for concealed high-output bass in dedicated home theaters, larger media rooms, and commercial AV spaces. As an in-room Powerpipe subwoofer, the 12-inch driver hides inside cabinetry or a wall cavity while output vents through two flexible hoses to discreet toe-kick or ceiling-port grilles. The dual-hose configuration allows venting to two grille locations or increased airflow for the most demanding concealed installs.

Product Description

The PP12-2 uses the Powerpipe pipe-style cabinet that tucks into a base cabinet, closet, or wall framing and ports its bass through two flexible tubes to finishing grilles at the toe kick or ceiling. The 12-inch driver delivers the deepest output in the Powerpipe range, and the dual-hose design gives the integrator flexibility to distribute output across two grilles or improve venting in difficult cabinetry. 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 dual-hose MDF model sits alongside the single-hose PP12 and the aluminum PP12-2-M. Pair the PP12-2 with matching James Loudspeaker toe kicks or ceiling-port adaptors to finish the install. For the full range, see the James Loudspeaker collection.
