After countless requests for a 10” HippoXL, we present the most ridiculous 10” subwoofer on the market. Taking every over engineered aspect from its big brother HippoXL subwoofers, the new HippoXL10 is an absolute beast of a 10” subwoofer. How can something be called MEGA and XL? All you have to do is pick up the HippoXL just once, and see for yourself why it is classified as a MEGA subwoofer. At Massive Audio, when we design a subwoofer, we start with a performance goal. Every time we surpass that goal with the end result. The goal for the entire HippoXL subwoofer line up is to make the best high all-around, high output subwoofer for musical installs.
One look at the HippoXL10 and you can see the extent as to how far overboard we went with the design of the subwoofer. Not just your average high output subwoofer, but one of power and precision that can produce clean and accurate low notes in all kinds of installs. At the heart of HippoXL10 is a stout 3” coil that can take plenty of heat and power from the most demanding installs. The voice coil is wrapped on an anodized aluminum former, for strength and weight savings, and we loaded up with triple heavy duty leads. We even added kevlar spunlace for additional durability under extended use. Rated for a tremendous 2000 watts to stay ahead of the pack.
We mated an oversized, high strength, double stack 350oz motor to control that oversized voice coil. To help with all that power and heat, is a vented back plate, to keep the bass cool for years to come. On the face of things, the HippoXL10 has a Kevlar Fiber reinforced, non-pressed paper cone, which provides a natural tone and great cone rigidity for clean bass notes. Keeping that sweet cone in check is up to the dual Nomex spiders that we have in a mirrored stack, as well as a high roll surround. Addressing rigidity between the moving cone and the motor itself, is a strong, but lightweight, cast basket.
For those who care about the show as well as the go, there is red stitching to increase cone-to-surround connection strength. The cast aluminum basket has a great textured finish, and the front and center dust cap is a fiberglass woven showpiece that can take a hammering.
In the end, what makes the HippoXL10 so special, is how well all the precision parts come together to work as a musical subwoofer in a small package for those who need premium performance, but space is at a premium. For those ultra tight spaces, where you really want to hit the low notes, few 10” subwoofers can match the all-around performance, size, and output of the Massive HippoXL10 The Massive Audio HippoXL10 should be at the top of your list when it comes to a well made, superior designed & priced, competition level 10” subwoofer.
