Mackie S218 Subwoofer Customer Review
Fantastic bass bin, provides really deep bass that can handle any pre-recorded material in a bar or club setting.
Sound
I have had one of these for about 2 years. I originally plugged the unit directly into an amp and gave it a full signal, as it has an internal crossover. The sound we were getting was not fantastic, so I opened up the unit and removed the internal crossover and ran the driver directly to the socket a the back. I used a phonic active crossover before a QSC2450 amp and I can honestly say this is one of the best bass bins I have heard.
Features
The internal crossover lets this unit down. I recommend removing it and running an external crossover like I have - eg the Phonic PCR 2213.
Ease of Use
Easy plug and go.
Quality
Solid driver construction that does not distort even at the highest and deepest of bass levels.
Value
I bought this item for around 300 pounds. They have since shot up to around 500 pounds.
