"1801 peavey trust it it won't let you down."

Feature:
in conbination with 12" for mids and this 18s for lows this is about the best combo and works pretty good.

Quality:
great quality for an 18 with a very low price.

Sound:
pretty good quality sound. pushed 375 watts of low and took it and still kicking after more than a year of usage. not the best quality out there but you are not paying more than you are getting want to get more pay double if not work with this 1801 and get very decent sound quality if little money. peavey is a good reliable brand.

Support:
Always depended on peavey for quality even the ampifiers. new peavey every time I can afford peavey I purchase.

Overall:
I would probably use it until the end if works it will be used. It has lasted a few years already. now serve as backup speakers. only beacuse the performances have become bigger and need more speakers to fill bigger venues.

"BBWW"

Feature:
good features best for price.

Quality:
while there are some better there are alot worse speakers out there.

Value:
About the best bang for the buck out there,although for just a little more money you can get the peavey low rider which is just a little better.

Desirability:
OH Yeah

Sound:
This speaker is alot better than average,not near the best but hands down better than anything else in this price range. It's a very good afordable option for someone just starting out,but good enough for a professional on a budjet.

Support:
never dealt with them. but ive only heard good things

Overall:
this speaker is tough kevlar cone not paper wil last forever. also you can replace just the cone if you blow it which saves on buying whole new speaker.

About This Product!
Description
Peavey's comprehensive broad range of over-the-counter speaker components offer both the sound professional and the working musician an extensive assortment of quality components. From the Low Rider sub woofers, with incredible power handling capacity and impressive bass response to the steadfast Black Widow® and BWX speakers with replacement basket assemblies, the Peavey line of speaker components is consistent and innovative.

The Black Widow®/Super Structure still remains far ahead of any of its competitors due to its performance and unique design. These state-of the-art speakers feature Kevlar® impregnated cones and a high efficiency magnet structure to provide outstanding sensitivity, reliability, and performance. The Kevlar impregnated cone is stiffer than an equivalent weight paper cone, reducing the tendency of the cone to distort the shape of the voice coil, thus avoiding rubs and scrapes. Superior power handling results from the increased stiffness, especially with large cone excursions. This cone also offers lower distortion than a paper cone due to a greater dampening of unwanted cone vibrations. The piston action of the Kevlar impregnated cone is extended to a higher frequency, while the range above is better controlled, with a reduction in vibrational break-up.

The magnet structure features a patented Peavey technology: a one piece die-cast back plate/pole piece assembly. This construction eliminates an undesirable "air gap" in the magnet circuit, enhancing efficiency and reliability.

Another Peavey original is the design of the speaker framework. In the unlikely event of the failure of a Black Widow loudspeaker, the cone/basket assembly is field replaceable with a factory assembled and tested replacement basket assembly. Instead of being forced to obtain a whole new speaker, only a new basket assembly is required. Lightweight and relatively inexpensive, the replaceable basket assembly offers an easy solution to spares and repairs.

Along with these state-of-the-art aspects, Black Widow speakers also provide the features expected in a professional application loudspeaker: a four inch edgewound aluminum ribbon voice coil wound on a Kapton former for high efficiency and sensitivity; a die-cast aluminum alloy frame for exacting lifelong alignment of the assembly; an extra large vent in the magnet structure for superior cooling and linearity at high drive levels; and heavy-duty spring loaded terminals adhering to industry standards for color coding.

The Peavey Black Widow speaker line: The high technology performer that is unsurpassed.
