A solidly built JBL powered ten, in the uncommon Cherry finish rather than the usual black.
What it is
The E150P is the powered subwoofer JBL built for the Northridge E Series, and it performs like a piece of professional equipment because much of the thinking behind it came from JBL’s Professional division. A 10-inch PolyPlas woofer is driven by an efficient digital amplifier rated at 150 watts, with 250 watts of peak dynamic power behind it.
Reach goes down to 27 Hz. Special effects in a film arrive loud and clear rather than as a general rumble, helped by the FreeFlow flared port, which is shaped to let air move without the chuffing that a plain cut tube produces when the bass gets demanding. The computer-designed, miter-joint cabinet is built to stay quiet while the driver works.
What you can adjust
More than most subwoofers of its era allow. There is a continuously variable low-pass control running from 50 Hz to 150 Hz, so the handover to your main speakers can be set to suit them rather than to suit a chart. There is a level control, and there is a phase switch — which matters more than people expect, because a subwoofer fighting the main speakers at the crossover point will sound thin no matter how large the driver is.
Connection is flexible: line level and speaker level inputs, the latter on sturdy gold-plated five-way binding posts, so it will work with a modern receiver carrying a subwoofer output or with an older amplifier that has none.
The finish
JBL offered the Northridge E Series in Black Ash, Beech and Cherry. Nearly every E150P that surfaces is Black Ash. This one is the Cherry, a warm red-brown that sits in a living room as furniture rather than as a black box in the corner, and it is a close match for Paradigm’s Light Cherry if you are building around speakers in that finish.
Condition
Very good. The cabinet presents well and the subwoofer is working properly.
Solidly built, genuinely adjustable, and in Cherry rather than the usual black.

JBL was founded in Los Angeles in 1946 by loudspeaker engineer James B. Lansing, first as Lansing Sound, Inc., and the JBL name came into use in the 1950s. We carry JBL bookshelf speakers, towers, centre channels, subwoofers and portable speakers. We've had more than 75 JBL listings so far, covering more than 50 different models. Every used JBL here is inspected, tested and serviced as required, then photographed in-house and covered by our Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty and Perpetual Trade-Back Program. Don't see the model you want? Tell us on First Dibs and we'll email you when one arrives.
Our best-selling JBL models so far: the Link 10 portable speaker, then the Northridge EC25 and N Center centre channels, the E30 bookshelf speakers and the vintage L46.
The JBL story, 1946 to today
James B. Lansing, who had been vice-president of engineering at Altec Lansing, set up Lansing Sound in Los Angeles in 1946. Its first product was the D101 15-inch woofer, and the D130 followed in 1948. Altec objected to the Lansing name, so the company became James B. Lansing Sound, and later simply JBL.
After Lansing. Lansing died in 1949, and William H. Thomas took the company over and cleared its debts. JBL drivers went into Fender guitar amplifiers, the Paragon stereo cabinet of the late 1950s and, through Capitol Records, recording studios.
Harman. In 1969 Sidney Harman's Jervis Corporation bought JBL, and the L100 bookshelf speaker followed in 1970. Harman calls it the best-selling speaker system of the decade. Harman sold JBL to Beatrice Foods in 1977 and bought it back in 1980.
Today. JBL is part of HARMAN, which Samsung Electronics has owned since 2017, and it marked its 80th anniversary in 2026. Harman's acoustic research was long led by Floyd Toole, who came to Harman from Canada's National Research Council here in Ottawa.
Which JBL is which?
Classic L series (1970s to 1980s): the L100 of 1970 and its successors, and two-ways such as the L46 of 1982, with its 8-inch 117H woofer.
Studio monitors: the 4310 of 1968, and the 4311 and 4312.
HLS series (late 1990s): such as the HLS610 and the HLS Center, with polycarbonate dome tweeters on horns.
Northridge N series (about 1999 to 2003): the N24, N26, N28 and N38, the N Center and their II versions, with titanium-laminate tweeters.
Northridge E series (2003 to 2005): from the E10 to the E100, the EC25 and EC35 centres and the E150P and E250P powered subwoofers. JBL's support pages say the E30, EC25 and E150P were made in Mexico.
Portables and today's ranges: the Link 10 and other Link speakers of 2017, the Stage series, and the L100 Classic of 2018.
Buying used JBL: what to check
Foam surrounds. A factory-authorized service centre says older JBL foam surrounds dry-rot, faster in humid climates, causing weak bass and buzzing. Repair shops add that JBL woofers have a tight voice-coil gap, so re-foaming needs care.
Tweeters. Play every tweeter. Owners report dead tweeters on 2000s Northridge models, and some original replacement tweeters are no longer available.
Crossovers. On older models, ageing crossover capacitors can dull the treble.
Link portables. Run a Link 10 on its battery to see how much capacity is left. JBL rated it at about five hours when new.
Fakes. JBL warns about counterfeit portables. A genuine one has a flush power button and an embedded grille logo.
Everything we list is inspected, tested and serviced as required here, and comes with our warranty.

Driven by an integrated 100 watt amplifier, with speaker-level inputs and high-pass outputs so it works with an amplifier that has no subwoofer output at all. Good condition.
