QSC E18SW Passive, Unpowered Subwoofer Speaker

No longer available at zZounds
Meet the QSC E18SW. This 4-ohm subwoofer uses your power amp more efficiently than its 8-ohm cousins, giving you maximum sound output for your watt-dollar. Unpowered. Requires separate power amplifier.

The E18SW 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 is 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 QSC 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.

Features:

- High output, professional quality sound with 800 W continuous power
- E Series Entertainment System - Advanced digital signal processing tunings and options using QSC GXD, PLD amplifiers or TouchMix digital mixers.

I tried the JBL PRX418, but kept getting ruptured subs. One was good, but the second was bad. I gave up and went with the QSC E18. I'M GLAD I DID!!!! These subs kick A$$!! They are 4 ohms, so you can't run an amp in bridge mode unless you wire 2 of them in series. With the bare wire hookup on the back, you can...This is so cool. Now for that dirty south bass, you can't pump this sub too loud because the frequency does not go that low at high volume. Still, these subs are a BEAST!!!!!!!
