Love at first Bass
Anonymous 18.12.2015
I tested this two subs few days ago it did a super great job in a combination with satellite speakers(2x Ev-Zlx15p) People were dancing all night long, no sub-bass error or failure so ever . It was a bit hot at amplifier area, but no danger in overheating.
To protect yourself I advise you to run it via speaker management system, for total cross-over and limitation control against potential misunderstanding of mixer's master output signal that could damage your entire system.
Otherwise Frequency cutoff works very well this sub is playing very very loud and comes with a built-in limiter.
As a good Sub its heavy and it should be!
Its well built ... but don't hesitate in buying 4 wheels for transport your back will be very thankful, this sub will expand your bass-based-music delivery for all thirsty dancers out there. Totally recommend!

I bought this for a small scale theatre tour which i wanted a lot of sub frequency sound going on in the show. We were using one for an audience size of about 100 maximum. Worked really well and gave me the weight of bass i wanted. Did manage to max it out in parts of the show but I was doing some pretty loud sub effects. Used in a more realistic setting, It could easily manage a bigger room.

The sound is good. It's not perfect. It isn't very level in it's frequency response (in the range it can manage), but this was probably more noticeable to me at the level i was using it and it was easily tuneable through software.

It is heavy! and i don't necessarily mean that in negative way. It makes it really sturdy which helps with the sound quality. But considering I bought this to tour, I do feel a little sorry for the people who have to move it in and out of a van every few days (although that's not me, so I don't feel that sorry).

Best price/quality balance
Blind Dog Studio 03.09.2020
We tested subs both indoor and outdoor events.
Amazing sound and attack even at low gain indoor at our small 100 square meters amphitheater inside the studio.
No distortion at max levels in the big venue places and outdoor.
Sounds perfect for live bands and DJing as well.
I suggest not to throw away protective foam from the package. It works as a good damper so you don't need to buy it separately.
Please keep in mind heavyweight. You will need 2 strong guys to carry this subs

Cheap big bass box
licht 27.11.2019
Don't buy this for home use if you have neighbors :D I did, couldn't turn it up more than 5% otherwise the whole house was resonating. Obviously, this is not a small speaker.

Recently I was finally able to push it to it's limits at a party, however after 7 hours of active use on nearly max (it was not limiting), it suddenly started to emit a weird noise, even when the voice cable was unplugged.

Turns out, there is a sponge like glue thingy fixing one of the components on the circuit board to prevent moving from the bass. This material melted, and made a short circuit.

Replacing that with a silicon based glue fixed the problem. I think this is a design flaw, because the material used initially on the circuit board can become conductive over time, probably due to the heat.

looking for subs..
Maureen B. 29.11.2014
i have been looking for a while for some subwoofers i have owned 1 x TA 18 for about 7 years never had any problems what so ever its a total work horse.
but with all these new small systems coming out i thought its time for a new up to date sub i tried mackie,db,ev. but i can really say for the money they where asking the where no different from the TA18 in fack the TA18 is louder the average sub i was looking at was about 128/130db and three times the price so i thought right i must get another TA18 and WOW two of these are mega putting out with no problems 131db. i cant say enough about these subs for the money i dont think you will get a warm 131db bin for this price anywhere. i used one for years but with two they perrrrrrr. well done thomann once again you deliver pure class....

What power these cabs have ,i have had many cabs but never run them less than half.If you compare these to the big brands on db alone these wipe the floor.People do make me laugh when they say they are heavy?? i hate to tell people if your bass cab was light it would be the other side of the room at the end of the night.i can lift on my on then use wheels.great price and value

Powerful
Renat R. 24.07.2019
I'm very pleased with this product. Well made and sound is incredible. Lots of power there.

Only downside is the weight. It's too heavy for one man to carry. So probably not suitable for one-man bands who transport their own equiptment.

good price to quality ratio, we use at our small club sub (single TA18) and it works as expected. our other speakers are Db Technologies Hype 12, and this is good combination. Venue size is around 100 m2

Fantastic bang for buck
Steve84 02.06.2013
For what they cost, these subs are amazing. They're powerful, go deep, and are well made. Obviously there are better subs out there if you spend more money, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find anything better sounding for the same price. I've had one for years that I used to use for my own gigs and subsequently (having upgraded my own equipment) for hiring out to other people. It's still going strong and still sounds great. Be sure to keep the cutoff frequency relatively low for the best sound. Recommended.

sounds awesome, but really hard to move.
LL Cool J 22.09.2023
this thing sounds great, but it's really heavy. and really large (it takes up the entire trunk of a Jeep, it probably wont fit in a car). it's 45 kilos, but it feels like it weighs more because of the large shape of it. hard to carry. maybe (probably) a 15" or 12" Sub is enough for you...

i'm keeping it cause it sounds great, and when used with the box TA 12s, it makes them sound soooo much better than just using them alone. I purchased a cart to move them all. really heavy gear.
