The confusion here is a common one, closed vs open ended resonators, especially if one looks at the poorly explained graphs in most physics texts.
The speaker, attached to one end of the pipe, is not the closed end, it is open, since it drives the air particles at that end, and that makes it a displacement antinode, where the particle displacement is maximum.
