Behringer VP1800S PA Subwoofer

Designed for musicians by musicians, the VP1800S subwoofer merges incredible sonic performance with amazing affordability. The VP1800S is supremely portable and well suited for musical applications, and is the natural choice for commercial installation.

Power Handling Capacity

The VP1800S subwoofer is engineered to handle the demands of professional gigs, from small clubs to large stages. With its 1,600-Watts power handling capability, the VP1800S cranks out massive amounts of aggressive bottom-end, making it the ideal way to add tremendous punch to your current sound system.

Massive Bass

In order to produce tight, deep bass, a subwoofer has to move lots of air. Eurolive loudspeakers accomplish this by using powerful, long-excursion LF (Low Frequency) drivers that are handmade in Behringer's factory. While some companies are content to use "off-the-shelf" drivers, they custom-design each LF driver to perfectly match its enclosure and application. The VP1800S features a powerful 18" long-excursion LF driver in a tuned enclosure, providing rich, tight bass all the way down to 40 Hz. That's extraordinarily deep bass that will shake the house right down to its foundation.

Let's Get Technical

The VP1800S is capable of extremely high sound pressure levels (100 dB half space 1 W @ 1 m) and provides a 40 to 200 Hz frequency range. A standard 35-mm (1.375") pole socket is provided for pole-mounting loudspeakers atop the VP1800S. The internal Low-pass filter (LPF) is fixed at 150 Hz. Both 1/4" and professional-style twist-lock connectors are provided.

Sound
I am by no means a sound specialist, but these subs deliver with the right combination of amps (QSC GX3),frequency crossover, quality speakon cables amd subwoofer. I have tried songs with deep base and explosive sound effects, and long before the amp indicated clipping the walls and ceilings were feeling the deep bass.
Features
Ability to daisy chain 2 subs for ultimate punch was sweet.
Ease of Use
Just plug in to amp and go. Just pay attention to limiters on amp.
Quality
The overall speaker configueration is nice. Two things I would add to make it more to my liking are: 1- Protective rubber covers for edges 2- Make coasters an available accessory. I added 4 with locks and it makes a difference with mobility and keeing the carpet cover higher off ground when there are spills on floors at party.
Value
I thing Zzounds made my day with their pricing and shipping cost. I dont have much disposable income and these are worth every penny I spent.
