Feature:
Only 1/4" jacks, and everything's going "Speakon" these days. It doesn't bother me though. It has an internal crossover, which I appreciate for simplicity of use.

Quality:
I have to rate it according to the price/value. Not gonna get better for the price, and I've shopped around.

Value:
I can definitely go a "10" here.

Desirability:
I like the simpleness of the design. I like seeing the speaker through the grill... want mine to look like a PA, not a home stereo.

Sound:
Sounds really good. I couple them together, which increases the SPL and that helps. For the price, can't be beat.

Ease of Use:
Plug and play. No external crossover needed, just amp to these, then out to the Tops... and crank it.

Support:
Never needed it, but they're reputed to be excellent. They have engineers on most Pro-Sound forums always helping people out. Great company and support

Overall:
I've had it for a few years now. Got used two nights a week, five hours per night for 12 months, putting canned music through them in a decent sized bar. I put about 375 watts to each and had them EQed pretty hard, and they never missed a beat. Used them last summer for an outside street party, same settup as in the bar, and they thumped really well. I went way down the street and they were still sounding great, and that was with a live band.

Feature:
Even though this sub doesnt have all the features of Subs that I have used in the past, works great. The Low pass crossover is pretty darn good if you are mono amping your set-up and runnning your subs/mains in parallel. I really like the grill. It has taken a few hits in our equipment trailer and saved the woofer many times.

Quality:
I have probably pushed these harder than most sound engineers would dare, but I have never, Ever had a minutes problems with anything Peavey. Now I do have a Yamaha mixer because peaveys are a little out of my price range, but this combo works really well.

Value:
Of course I bought mine about a year ago before the price went up $30, but still, you can buy a single 18" sub for $500 that can beat this one, but you can't buy a single 18" sub for $500 that can beat two of these. Ka-Boom.

Desirability:
Now, it's not much to look at, but, I have always been about function rather than looks. (and it still looks pretty good for the price) but the sound quality is what sold me.

Sound:
I dont really like a sub that extends so far into the midrange like this one does, however if you are bi-amping with a crossover set between 150-250hrz, this thing will knock you off your feet. not only is it loud, but it also sounds better than most PAs that I've used in the past. 1 or 2 of these is good for large gigs and 4 is great for gigs for 250-500

Ease of Use:
1/4" jacks, Sturdy Steel handles, fairly compact design. Hard to go wrong

Support:
I will give this a 8. I have never had to use it yet myself, but its good to know they are just a phone call away.

Overall:
I have owned these for a almost two years now, and I have set these up on a football field in central Arkansas and cranked it up. These sat in one enzone and at the 50, the were as clear and crisp as any I have ever heard: even at the oposite enzone, they were pretty clear but volume was low

Feature:
Easy,1/4 plug in, and your ready to rock!! Very simple features [which is good for me] the simpler the better!!!

Quality:
Very solid, solid components,quality speakers,heavy duty grilles, nice carpeted cabinets,huge, and i mean huge bass sound!!!

Value:
The best value on subs anywhere!! I will put these subs up against any other brand out there!!!!!!!

Desirability:
Go to your local music store and have them plug the pv118's in,when you here them once you will want these speakers!! Make sure you go home and order them online [ there so much cheaper online]!!!!!!

Sound:
Incredible sound for a ridiculously low price!! These babies pound!!! Great punch,you can feel these bad boys pumpin it out!!!

Ease of Use:
So easy to use even my mother in law could figure it out!! whoops i hope she doesn't see this!!!!!!!!!!

Support:
I believe the best support from peavey is building a product that i dont have to use support for anything!! Over twenty years a peavey gear user and i've only talked to them to order an item [back in the eighties]that my local music store did'nt have!!! great products!!!

Overall:
These speakers were one of the best buys that i have ever gotten!! These have met my expectations and then some!! Unbelieveable price and quality!!!!

Feature:
VERY EASY TO USE PLUG AND GO. GET YOUR BOARD SET THE WAY YOU NEED AT LET THESE BABY'S THUMP

Quality:
THESE BABY'S ARE MADE TOUGH. WE PUSH THEM TO THE MAX AND THEY HAVE YET TO LET US DOWN

Value:
JUST GET IT AND YOU WON'T BE DISSAPOINTED

Desirability:
VERY BASIC LOOK BUT IT'S THE SOUND THAT MATTERS

Sound:
SOUND IS GREAT..IF YOUR LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN FEEL THE BASS THESE ARE THE SOLUTION FOR A GREAT PRICE. MY BAND HAS 4 OF THEM ALONG WITH 4 PV215 AND I TELL YA I LOVE IT. VERY COMPAIRABLE TO THE EXPENSIVE PA'S THAT I HAVE HEARD

Support:
HAVEN'T HAD TO USE THIS YET BUT HEARD THAT PEAVEY SUPPORT IS ONE OF THE BEST

Overall:
WOULD NOT HAVE PAID 600 FOR A SUB THAT I CAN PAY HALF THE PRICE FOR PEAVEY THAT IS JUST AS GOOD

Sound:
The sound is pretty flat, nothing much really to it. I don't understand how it can be considered a SUBwoofer if the bass can't go below 55hz. The built in lowpass is extremely high for this sub. If you just plug in the sub by itself, you can hear the high hats in every song. I was pretty disappointed overall.
