HDS PPB 
4″ Midwoofer 
Type Number: 830870  
Features: 
The new High Definition Sound (HDS) PPB series is the 
culmination of Peerless working in close partnership with end 
users of Peerless-based audio products. With a deep 
understanding of customer requirements and needs, Peerless 
developed the proprietary and highly advanced Polypropylene 
Black (PPB) cone material used in the HDS PPB Series, creating 
a stiff but still dampened cone that remains stable even under the 
greatest sound pressures.
