Unpowered Subwoofers

Unpowered Subwoofers at Long & McQuade

Passive subwoofers are designed for studio and sound system builds where you want full control over amplification. Since they don’t include a built-in amp, you’ll need to pair them with an external power amp and crossover. That may sound like more work, but for many engineers and live sound techs, it opens the door to more flexibility. These subs are often used in custom installations, multi-speaker arrays, or setups where you're already running dedicated rack gear. If you’re after a more tailored sound or already have an amp ready to go, a passive sub can be the right move. Shop unpowered passive subwoofers at Long & McQuade today.
