Know before you buy
Yes, the A-118 is a passive subwoofer, meaning it does not have a built-in power amp. You will need to pair it with an external power amplifier capable of handling its 800-watt program power rating at 8 Ohms.
Yes, the A-118 features an integrated M20 stand flange on the top panel. This allows you to securely mount a speaker pole for elevating your full-range satellite speakers.
The 18-inch woofer is designed to reproduce deep, resonant low frequencies down to 40 Hz. It provides the physical 'thump' and low-end reinforcement necessary for live music, DJ sets, or larger venues where smaller speakers might struggle.
The A-118 is built with a robust wood enclosure specifically designed to withstand the rigors of touring and frequent setup changes. While it is sturdy, keep in mind that it weighs 30.6 kg, so you may want to consider adding casters or using a dolly for easier transport.
The A-118 is capable of reaching a peak SPL of 128 dB. This output level is sufficient for most small-to-medium-sized live performance venues and event spaces.
