Plenty Sub !
I bought 8 of these 10 years ago as part of the Box Pro Achat System 2 I am configuring a new system and incorporating these into it as they are (still) so good!
Being Horn loaded they give a very good account of themselves and perform well against other 2 x 18 conventional subs but are much easier to move on their wheels and I can still stack them on top of each other myself (just about!) Over the last 10 years I have used them for all sorts of gigs from the hotel function band (using 2) to full blown festivals using all 8 about 6 times a year . I have never found my self wanting any more Bass ! AS usual with the Achat stuff this is fantastic value for money and perfect for people that listen with their ears not their eyes ! :-)

Massive movement for your money
The thomann Achat 118 sub has far exceeded my expectations, we plugged it up on arrive and it blow are minds
We now have 4 and to tops and can happy use it on gigs were we would need 4 double 18s normal, there very tight and punchy as well and you can feel it all the way at front of house,
wheels and covers are a must as the handles aren't great and the paint comes off really easy with a bump or to.
Also they need a lot of power to really feel there noise
All in all a great buy, would add more if they were rider friendly

Pro Achat Rock And Roll Bundle
Wow, what a fantastic bit of kit!
This came as part of the Pro Achat Rock and Roll Bundle and I cannot fault it for the price. We have the HK Linear 5 Big Venue Pack too and at just over half the price the Achat bundle is comparative if not better than the HK and of course you get the 3 year warranty from Thomann as well!
Only recommendation I can make is to get the wheels and make sure there are two of you when lifting as they are very very heavy!
other than that I am amazed at the sound quality and build quality for what is essentially a budget PA system!
Well done again Thomann!

does the job
i read a bunch of stuf about this speakers and decided to buy them.
I'm not sorry, becouse they sound like thunder :)
Afkors the paint is bad, but if you spend a bit you can overpaint it or something, but no problems with the box so far.
the whells that fit this box are great, my old speakers were a pain in the ass to move around, but here, it's like pushing air, it just goes unitl you cant catch them...
with the covers its great to store them or if you put them out of the van and you have some outdor event, rain is no problem.
It moves the air and kicks you with power, for open air perfect, indor you need a bit of eq setting... but i had no problems here.
for tops i use nova fullrange speakers and they sound great together, but i thin i would still need two of these to get the ratio betwen SUB and TOP...
the point is it does the job

OK
Nice, powerful, punchy sub. Driven by the box pro Achat Amprack L. Good power to size ratio. The black paint finish bit fragile.

Superb Sub
Really impressed with these - which were purchased as part of the achat "Open Air" bundle. Build quality is excellent, very rugged and they stack nicely. An easy two-man lift and they can be dragged about by one! Handle cut-outs are in all the right places. Thinking of adding castors to the backs to improve handling. Sound is superb - really nice clear lows with no hint of muddyness.

If you want to hear this loud, play them with 1500w / 8ohm.

Nice value for money professional looking and sounding sub
Like others have said, handling is difficult, although not really heavy for two persons
