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:
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:
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
