QSC E118sw Passive, Unpowered Subwoofer (800 Watts, 1x18")

No longer available at zZounds
Shore up the low end on your passive PA system with the QSC E118sw. Part of QSC's high-performance E Series, this 18" sub handles 800 watts continuous power. Unpowered. Requires separate power amplifier.

The QSC E118sw is a high-performance direct radiation subwoofer with a single, 800W, 18-inch, aluminum frame woofer. It's designed to produce crushing low-end for live performance with kick-drum and bass in the PA or for high-level, high-energy dance music. A threaded, M20 pole socket and speaker pole are provided for sub/satellite use with any of the E Series two-way models. For portable applications it includes attachment points for four optional casters. The subwoofer's 4-ohm impedance means that a single woofer can be optimally powered by a less expensive amplifier.

E Series loudspeakers will perform very well with any quality, professional power amplifier but by taking advantage of the complete E Series Entertainment System, more performance and options are available. Today's powered loudspeakers rely on finely tuned digital signal processing (DSP) to achieve a higher level of performance. When used with QSC GXD or PLD amplifiers or with a QSC TouchMix digital mixer, E Series loudspeakers can also take advantage of advanced DSP. QSC has developed E Series DSP settings for all three platforms. These settings support a variety of applications including live sound reinforcement (with and without subwoofers), stage monitoring, dance music and karaoke.

I had to get a second one after waiting almost a year. These subs pound. They will not distort unless they are way underpowered. Your mains will run out of gas way before these do. The 130db is there and they can get low however, they sound great at low volume also. Honestly, I believe QSC had the DJ's in mind with this sub. I run it at 80hz 1500 watts playing top 40 and EDM with no issues. This sub is built to last and a little bigger/ heavier than powered models (95 pounds) but the handles are well placed and still fits in the bed of a pickup with room left for yor mains, amp rack and lighting.
