Sound:
The sound quality of this cabinet is very good as far as basic subwoofer cabs go. It is very powerful and tight, responds well to a lot of power. I recommend making sure its powered correctly and crossed over correctly. Low distortion, no port noise or rattles. It really rounded out the sound of our mains for the live setup.
Feature:
Like the Neutrik Speakon NL4 connector, makes it easy to use one cable to wire the tops. Wish it had 2 Speakons. I like the fact that if the woofer blows I can replace the basket assembly cheaply and do it in the field. Locking corner protectors would be nice. Casters could have been a nice addition too.
Ease of Use:
Easy to use of course, a bit big and heavy -107lbs, but built in handles make it ok. May need a hand truck or dolly board. Does fit through a standard door.
Quality:
The corner protectors are a bit flimsy and thin, not sure how they are attached. Could be upgraded if necessary, they don't facilitate stacking very well if you indeed wanted to do so. The speaker pole stand mounting cup is kinda cheapish but I'm sure will do the job. The hammertex finish is nice, grille has a nice appearence but will be easily dented. When I got mine, the rubber feet for the side, to facilitate laying the cab on its side, were missing. The rest of the cabinet build seems very solid.
Value:
This product is a tremendous value in its price class of the "under $600" subwoofers. Yes there are others in the next price class up that are better, but if you are looking for the best bang for the buck..this is it.
Manufacturer Support:
Peavey is easy to reach but they referred me right back to the dealer to solve my issue with the missing rubber feet. How the issue turns out will remain to be seen.
The Wow Factor:
It is a good looking cabinet.
Overall:
I think this will do well for us for now, I would definitely purchase a second one if the need arises. Wish some of the little quality details were better. Overall happy so far.

Sound:
I have worked with many speakers/subs in the past and Peavey has always come out in the lead. I currently have a pair of Cerwin Vega 21" Subs and a pair of the SP118's. Guess which offers the better sound? Peavey!
Feature:
What makes these subs so practical is their small footprint, attractive style and of course the speaker cup on the top to make mounting your mains super easy and safer than traditional tri-pod stands.
Ease of Use:
Just plug them in and power them up. If you can't get enough bass out these cabinets, you gotta serious problem.
Quality:
Peavey says it all. These cabinets are extremely durable and well made. The Hammertex coating provides additional protection and offers a clean, stylish appearance. The metal grills on the front are sturdy and do not rattle. I would never intentionally try to damage any of my equipment but I am confident that it will take more than a few drops and dings to hurt these subs.
Value:
Very happy with the price and warranty offered!
Manufacturer Support:
Obviously, not needing support is better than receiving good support right?
The Wow Factor:
The looks and design of the SP series definitely win over the competition.
Overall:
In my experience of 15 years, Peavey makes the best quality gear for your money.
