Cerwin-Vega CVi-218S Passive Subwoofer

The Cerwin-Vega CVi-218S (Contra-Sub) is a portable, dual eighteen-inch dedicated subwoofer system designed to extend and supplement the low frequency extension of CVi full range systems in live music and playback applications.

The CVi-218S features two high power, cast frame eighteen inch transducers with 3 inch voice coils for extended use during high SPL applications. Steel handles and pole mount cup are also featured for use as a base for pole mounted full range systems. This configuration allows the two drivers to work together in the same acoustic space to reduce distortion components caused by driver mechanical non-linearity when the system is driven at high levels. The result is cleaner, smoother low frequency reinforcement at higher SPL levels.

Applications:

- Portable live sound PA
- DJ system PA
- Auditoriums
- Drum monitor sub
- Clubs
- Outdoor stages

Note: Unpowered speaker, requires separate power amplifier.

This sub is very well made and appears to be road worthy. It is very heavy as would be expected with anything housing two 18" subs. It is a great looking speaker and I receive a lot of comments about its looks and sound. It does not reproduce the very low notes but does pound with authority without over heating the drivers. I have been using one and am planning on buying another one soon.
