Sound: Incredible low end that you can feel all the way down to 25hz. I'm impressed by how musical they are even after hours of pounding!! Feature: Only issue I had was that on one of the two I purchased I had to resolder the metal part that connects from the terminal to the cone. The excursion snapped the little bugger so I made it strong for sure. Now it rocks again. Ease of Use: These things will handle ANYTHING you throw at them. I have to old QSC 1450 bridged for each box and these speakers laughed at me. (I know....I need more power) Quality: Like I stated above, The only issue I had was that on one of the two I purchased I had to resolder the metal part that connects from the terminal to the cone. Other than that, it's solidly made. And did I mention the replaceable basket? #WIN Value: I would recommend these for any live sound application. Great price and performance. Manufacturer Support: When I contacted the AWESOME customer service at Zzound they informed me that I would have to contact Peavey, but when I realized the issue was a soldering matter, I just put in the little bit of repair work myself. The Wow Factor: Big sexy subs!! Overall: Just from the specs alone, I was blown away and had to have them and I'm glad I've got them cause they are INSANE!!

Sound: Amazing!!! This is one of the cleanest loudest and lowest subs I have ever used. I have built some custom boxes for them and they sound absolutely amazing!

The adhesives used on the spider are extremely durable. Value: BANG FOR BUCK and TONS of it!!!! The Wow Factor: I love it. The design is great and would love some more. Overall: Great speaker and I expect it to last for the rest of my carreer.

Sound: Awesome sound and can take a beating. I installed these in my EV eliminator 18' subs that I bought new 7 years ago and the low riders sound better than ever. I am feeding 4 low riders (2 each side) with 2 Mackie 1400i's in bridge mode at full power (in stereo..1 amp left/1 amp right) Feature: Easy to connect with the spring loaded terminals what more can you say. Ease of Use: Easily fit into my Eliminators Quality: Been flawless for a year now Value: Bust bang (or thump!) for your buck Manufacturer Support: I have dealt with Peavey before with no problem. The packaging was not like mentioned in here before as I had to return 2 with a broken baskets....needs that extra box! The Wow Factor: hot..lol Overall: Very satisfied!

Back to Product Information
Sound: I have a pair of Peavey DTH-218 subwoofers, and these run at 4 ohms each. I have a QSC-3402 amplifier connected in bridge mono to each cabinet. I have found, by experience, that this configuration is the most efficient and best sounding way to use these speakers. Quality: The shipping box these came in are virtually indestructable. The speaker is in an octagon shaped box, which keeps the round bugger from shifting around. Then this box is placed into another box with foam to keep the octagon box from moving around. This box was then placed inside another shipping box, with the other speaker Manufacturer Support: I have done some checking around, and I find that Peavey has a problem keeping up with the demand for this speaker type. The company moved their facility, and then the hurricanes hit. I ordered 4 of these Low Rider speakers from my local music store, and 2 of them came in. The other 2 did not even after 3 months of waiting. I was told they were making these speakers for Peavey cabinets, and all they could do was keep up with the manufacture of these cabinets. Overall: Overall, I really like the "Low-Rider" 18" speaker by Peavey. I think that with the amplifier that I use, it is the best replacement speaker I have ever bought.

Overall: While the sub sounded great. We had two of them go bad (the solder used is terrible and the wire leads just fell off). We re-coned one with their basket kit, and that blew out a few months after. Cheap speakers, but you get what you pay for.
