    Hi,
    I have a pair for 10 years (already!)
    There are two months I did a little their facelift: removing carpets, sanding, painting installation of wheels, corners ... And above all change the amplification on the advice of a PRO, I pushed in crest or QSC (2x600 in 8) now a PLX2402 bridg 2400W at 4, I redcouvre (and again, we can do even better with the big amps "very" high end, too chre for me ...) !!!!
    In short, super subwoofer lasting, lasting, lasting if one cares BUT as many will say, prvoir a large amplification quality !!! so expensive ... Good advice, forget mactruc, audiomachin, etc ...

    The ESW 1018 subwoofer is a "go anywhere" used on different types of music .. However, while limiting the power of HP intake to avoid breakage ...
    Easy to carry ...

    It is heavy trs! It should be what to you say, but it's a breeze kidney: prvoyez really smoothly, matter of survival! Another word, the bass is deep, dynamic, round. The sub is equipped with a impressive crossover for use active or passive combines a head (with enclosure gnial SERIES wind, eg 1000.). The comuter is simply an inter ct of Speakon.

    I am a sound technician and also a possde variation on rock band.
    For three years we toured with 6 subs ESW1018. Ingal performance in this range of rates, a strong impact 80hz. In short, a big sound. The lack of precision t fully rectified with audio amplifiers HCA3.0 AG is used for 2 months. Coupling with the 4PRO 6001 in acute is perfect.
    In a résumé that is sub trs versatile and sending good.

    The sub, although a bit one-note is really monstrous! and indestructible!

    I built two in the spring (depending on the exact plan of the original, in multiples of 18, with L18S800 dedant) and driven by a crest CA9 (4 ohm bridged 2Kw) they bump hard.

    -With experience, you do again this choice? ... Of course, I will build two more by the end of the year (and I think that a small stack of 4 at the center will ca)

    Hi all,

    With investigations after it EUROPAORCH saver it exist in fact two versions of the equipment in 1018 L18S800 and the latest equipment in L18P300.

    It also seems that the version equipped with L18S800 suffered from a directivity when coupled (EUROPAORCH is being tested with two versions to see if it comes from L18S800 or simply matching funds of their characteristics: "Radiation direct + rear Pavilion "To be continued ...... todo .......)

    Hint: if you put the box up to say the event is down, you gain 3db (ideal if you do a benefit with a sub on each side and then at the last moment he almost pushed a little further.

    Hi all,

    Hint: if you put the box up to say the event is down, you gain 3db (ideal if you do a benefit with a sub on each side and then at the last moment he almost pushed a little further.

    Returning to the description ESW1018 OF:

    Direct radiation + Pavilion rear (one of the best conbinaisons).
    1x18 "or L18S800
    1x18 "L18P300 (the 46cm that has the most debate in the catalog FCR)

    For me the best sub of walking at this price.
    600 WRMS
    Efficiency: 106 dB half space (so if you follow my trick 109dB)
    120hz switchable crossover.
    2 Speak one at the rear, a one IN OUT: watch the OUT is not a return but a signal output by high pass filter to 120Hz 6dB/oct great for a passive facade not to excite the woofer for nothing the satellite.
    52kg: it's true but a bit heavy compared to other brands !!!!!
    Version 2 has exsist, either painting black granite or black carpet if you find used in carpet you say they have at least 6 years.

    RELIABILITY nothing to say the HP RCF are extremely strong over the replacement laminae are not worth much. (Go for a JBL 2226H remenbraner you will see the bill)

    My ideal combination for any type of venue is:
    4x + 2x EsW1018 ART500 ask it (for sides)

    otherwise

    2x + 1x EsW1018 ART500 ask it (quoted by)
    VERY GOOD PRODUCT (ORCHESTRA, DJ .... etc etc ...)
    Its growth is reliable.
    Cheap to buy.
    Cheap has conversed.

    It's all good.
    if you are not too expensive to OCCAZ in good condition go for it.

    on the other hand in my opinion is a poorly marked MT1200 to push this kind of sub you should choose a class H amplifier (or is doing better in the bass) to get the best of what can come out of the box ....

    => Deuxime evening I pushed 0dB, and the sub has given all he had to give, your hard knocks trs trs even with one! You can feel the bass on the chest even at 5 meters.

    Report qualitprix, I do not think we can really do better now.

    With the exprience I would do this chosen without Siter, vai dailleurs I buy another one for Christmas and the t 2 next

    I use them for a short time. I tried a lot of models but in Bass Reflex. Obviously this sub is not designed to go very low in the spectrum, but dynamic range issue I have never heard of such performance.
    Best configuration listened: to couple with Bass Reflex Audio Mach M218T: thus, you get the roundness and dynamics ..

    Config tested: MC ² Audio amplification E45 (Funktion One) charge to 2 x 2.6 Ohms

    I forgot: my subs are equipped L18S800, and always used the bottom vent.

    I used two manufacturing house for 3 months.
    They are team by LF18n401

    I use RCF 4 Pro dj 8002AS, L Acoustics SB218, and other less powerful.

    I love the ease of manufacture, the excellent performance which, with little power, gives a strong low-rev, weight and size.
    For cons, I find the bass bad enough, the sound is not really nice (compared to L acoustics, for example) and do not much dcends

    I would say excellent for the electro, dubstep to worse
