    I used 2 or 3 times in quite different conditions ...
    already, it takes place for these subs: I mean listening distance. But it's pretty amazing to see how it goes down ... we even almost not used to listen frequencies as serious high level (BP = 28Hz, 140Hz +/- 3dB). But compared to not NEXO LS1200 beautiful ... the SB218 is great art! Much more accurate!

    Crulle lack of performance, no dynamic, serious broullion, and yes if you look for the bass that grips your stomach go your way.</span>

    Kesako? The same proof SB218 ... above ... taken from the manufacturer's technical doc was not trying (28Hz it takes to the belly I can assure you!). Yield? Frankly, I think we did not try the same boxes there ...;)

    In any case, this is an excellent complement to the 115 (which cover 60Hz to 18kHz +/- 3dB preset with the "front"). Under ideal acoustic conditions, few corrections so. Rather color to give. An almost linear frustrating ... a real system what ...
    Heavy but what subs worthy of the name are small hurt?
    Excellent product anyway ...

    EDIT:
    contrary to what I read, the SB218 is not cardio ... we can arrange multiple in a stack to make the stack sub cardioid using presets good builder and assembling the stack in the rules of art ... but these subs are indeed omnis when stacked normally or alone! (I also do fresh repeatedly returns governed ...!)

    Sub bass-reflex dual 46cm, designed to be stacked in a vertical line (you can not really talk about online source stack least 12 mini boxes).
    Cons: really heavy so it's good lourd.Le performance is not huge the impact is not really the either.
    the most: I do not know what to say other than "sounds" is round, it's sweet just the opposite of EAW SB1000 but something that is really good as it descends, down and down again (but it takes Watts, of Watts and Watts still). I have not heard a better bass-reflex.

    The SB218 is a large, heavy, short, a true "SUB" pens and made to descend. The bnisterie is massive, robust and equipped with six grips.
    Is made to reproduce the two octaves that the 15 "can not gnrer.
    Little else apart from the other Sub B2 or 650R2 sduit me as much and not fall much even if they have more energy 60Hz. This thanks to the 18 "Beyma original / OEM double spider and large Xmax. Personally, I've never seen a coil brle of SB218.
    I persisite and signs, the SB218 is a real Sub which more qu'honntement his job, especially in packs!

    Trs good mix in sub typ acoustic - jazz / trad - or variation on quickly limits but with the "boom boom" techno / house / electro, hip-hop or even sometimes a good low reggae / dub well supported in infrastructure. It descends down trs but was quick to hear "tap" the boomers run its course ... I agree with the previous ones opinion: For music genres deficits above, it is better to opt for subs EAW, JBL, and I board a small preferences for Electro Voice. Which enabled me to immediately find that L-Accoustics Mtd 112 could s'avrer formidable mix in fade for amplified music if they are supported properly in the low end!

    Hi all,

    A lot of agreement with "JOE63".
    Cruellemnt lack of attack and precision.
    A product that is in my opinion not worthy of a tour with V-DOSC line above (it's not for nothing that many sound engineer turns with other sub under the V-DOSC).
    As he tells desendent very low, thanks to 18G550 and volume of the body (very heavy for that matter).

    Far from a 650 on all points, yet it plays in the same course on the benefits (yes the 650 is more expensive but good when you turn with this type of material is that it is rented ).

    I do not agree with the critics of 218
    Just one thing guys if you had the doc look at the recommendations of The acoustics
    For my part I use uses a system and it works ARCS thunder
    C not soft, to the extent that we put behind a real amp (2000W mini)
    Otherwise, it may be that the editor system are not know stuff
    You balances a good sub arc (thank you D & B for the soft B3) and cal well you have what it takes it right

    Hello!
    too agree with the critics either, whatever ...
    I find it hard to use 218 only in a V-DOSC, for help against a few low-sub dv become incredible!
    is recovered all that is missing to 218, and precision attack!
    and with good EQ I saw quite a lot of combos v-dosc/sb218 sound very good (for example, jazz has come ..)

    I've owned a 18G550 for 4 years and I can assure you that this speaker is better than everything I've heard regarding low-frequency response.
    Yes, we're talking about low-frequency... The impact is not localized at 30 Hz, for that you'll need something else. This speaker produces low and ultra-low frequencies without compromises. It is THE speaker for ultra low-end. You'll only get ultra low-end and nothing else! It's perfect to enhance a system which already has subwoofers and to produce that famous "impact" everyone is talking about...
