{"product_id":"james-loudspeaker-pp8-m-passive-8-powerpipe-aluminum-cabinet","title":"James Loudspeaker PP8-M - Passive 8\" Powerpipe, Aluminum Cabinet","description":"\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe James Loudspeaker PP8-M is a passive 8-inch Powerpipe subwoofer in a slim aluminum cabinet, built for concealed in-room bass in residential media rooms and commercial AV environments. As an in-room Powerpipe subwoofer, the 8-inch driver hides inside cabinetry or a wall cavity while output vents through a flexible hose to a small toe-kick or ceiling-port grille. This hidden subwoofer approach delivers more low-frequency output than the 6.5-inch PP6-M while keeping the room visually clean. The aluminum cabinet adds rigidity for demanding installs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe PP8-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 larger 8-inch driver suits rooms that need more output than a 6.5-inch model while preserving the same concealed footprint, which makes it a practical choice for architectural and custom-install AV projects. As a passive subwoofer it requires external amplification, so the integrator controls crossover, level, and routing within a distributed audio or dedicated theater rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe aluminum cabinet is the durable counterpart to the MDF-bodied Powerpipes. Pair the PP8-M with a matching James Loudspeaker toe kick or ceiling-port adaptor to finish the install.
