Overview

The Monoprice Alpha Series 130487 is a 10-inch passive in-wall subwoofer built around a carbon fiber woofer cone. Carbon fiber's high stiffness-to-weight ratio allows the driver to reproduce low frequencies with greater accuracy and less distortion than traditional paper or polypropylene cones, translating to bass that sounds tight and controlled rather than boomy. Rated at 300 watts peak power handling, this subwoofer is capable of pressurizing medium to large rooms when paired with an appropriately powered external amplifier.

Designed for permanent installation between wall studs, the 130487 mounts flush with the wall surface and is finished with a SlimFit magnetic grille that lifts off easily for access and can be painted to match any interior. This makes it an appealing option for homeowners who want serious bass performance without a visible subwoofer enclosure. It integrates naturally into whole-home audio systems or dedicated home theater setups as a low-frequency channel, working alongside other in-wall or freestanding speakers. Because it is a passive unit, an external subwoofer amplifier with crossover capabilities is essential for proper integration and performance.
