The most talked about double 18 active subwoofer over the last few years.
I own 4 of these, I have used them for a few years now.
I have literally caused structural damage with 4 of these in a club 2 each side. They are definitely the number one active double 18" bass bin for the money and I haven't seen or heard anything come close for the price.
I own 8 of the Achat 118a horns but they have a totally different sound to these playing better in bigger venues and outside. These in a medium sized room are extremely effective and you don't have to pair them up or play them in groups like a horn box.
For a larger room you will need more then a pair as they have a weird cut out feature when they clip, the Achat or single TP118a boxes don't have this feature but judging by the size of the amp on this box I can see why, its almost double the size! It is a good safety feature to have but I find sometimes they clip and the bass goes for a bit too long while the Achat or single TP keep going. Sometimes just as the bass gets to a sweet spot the limiter will kick in and the box goes into limit mode for a few seconds. With the other boxes you can hear when they clip and know to back off the bass a bit but these boxes just cut themselves off.
This feature can be good if you leave your sound unattended but I would rather set limiters myself on my speaker management system or Digital mixer. If I know a venue is big I always carry 4 or just bring my horns instead.
These boxes have the best handles out of all of the box pro range. Lots of steel bar handles so they are easy to carry and move about with another person.
A very good box, These must be the most sold Box Pro active speaker as everybody has them now. They are definitely an impressive box but don't push them too hard or go too crazy, add more so they can play more easily, comfortably and avoid clipping.

WOW, What a sound. Big Rumble
I had calculated the size of this cab before it arrived but I was still shocked at the size of it. It is a monster of a speaker, but put our the volume it does it needs to be a big cab. And it really does put out the volume. By getting these you are really stepping up into the big boys territory without the big boys toys prices. This a seriously powerful sub. The controls on the back are a very minimalistic ser with a heavy duty Rocker switch for power and 2 dials. The volume control and the frequency cut out adjustment. Unfortunately these are not normal dials but they have to be adjusted with a small screwdriver. Only a small thing and to be honest once set you probably won't adjust. There is also a phase switch on the back if you are using multiples close together to prevent cancelling out. Overall I am very impressed with these cabs and they are the most powerful subs I have owned. Just not sure if my Tops are up to it now so might be buying some more tops soon.

Value for money- Exceeded expectation
Built like a tank. very good construction. Build to last. Very deep clean bass and loud enough. We have few pairs now. Will recommend fit for bigger space. It is bit big. the wheels are must.
Cons>- Fan noise.- but not a problem for bigger spaces

BOOOOM!!!
if you like bass, then just get it.
been complimented many a time with this subwoofer, i am purchasing more of these to stack.
but one of these will blow the roof off off pubs. which is why i want 3 more =)
very happy with them, id question why you would be unhappy with this product as the bass it produces in comparison to its price is a very fair deal indeed
just get it

A BEAST WITH A SMALL PROBLEM
The subwoofer itself is amazing, loud, goes low… Everything is great except for the limiter, if you like to push the sub to its max the Limiter tends to kick in a lot, the problem is that the limiter lowers the volume of the sub by about 50% for a few seconds when you hit it. Another problem is the cooling fan, the fan is always on and is pretty loud, but in most cases when music is playing you cant hear it.

The Best Sub For The Money
This sub has impressed me from day one. The size is one thing, its huge!
The Volume this thing can produce is amazing. It has blown away every client that I have used it with.
The price point is the best in my eyes, for the money there is no better sub out there, especially with the atmosphere this thing creates.

Wow!
Bought these to run alongside some high spec mid tops.
The proper subs to go with these mid tops are £3000 each.
These sound absolutely amazing at a fraction of the price.
They really move some air and go deep!
