It has been appropriately named the BoomTomb because of the fact that the majority of the enclosure is buried underground with only a small, hooded port exposed above the surface.

“Outdoor audio continues to be a huge category for us,” says SpeakerCraft vice president of marketing Dave Donald.

“Adding critical low end reinforcement to our already broad assortment of exterior loudspeakers is a natural progression and a benefit to dealers who are looking for ways to improve sound quality outdoors.”

The BoomTomb consists of a polyresin enclosure that houses a 25cm long throw woofer mounted in a support that is in the centre of the internal space. Sound is then vented through a port that extends through the top of the enclosure. The port is the only visible part of the speaker once it is installed. A hood covers the top of the port to protect the internal workings from water and debris. The woofer is powered by a dedicated 250W amplifier that is designed to be placed with the source equipment and attached via standard speaker cable.
