Peavey PV 118 Single 18" Subwoofer  

Sub's main use is for kick drum. The sub quit working several weeks after purchase. I was told by the dealer that the internal connecting wires actually pull loose from the cone due to the movement generated by a kick drum. The entire speaker was replaced in mine. So far so good.

Wow. this thing is killing me. I've gotten the crossover on it fixed once already. Today it just failed again. What a piece of junk. My band was suppose to practice for some big shows coming up and now we will have to deal with having no bass!!! This thing might just end up as a coffee table...Cause I'm not sure if I feel like paying to get it fixed again...

Purchased 3 months ago to add some bottom to the PA set up.  I power them with the QSC GX5.  I used a 15 band EQ with a built in crossover and they add just the right amount of low end.  Really helps to bring out the Kick drum.  We play classic rock and 80's stuff and they work great in the mix.  Allows us to bring the stage volume down a bit with a direct box on the bass. I used them in a medium hall 300-350 people and a concrete floor.  I didn't over power them and it worked well.  These are not meant to fill a 500 seat club but if you play in the local bars with 150 -250 folks, they will do just fine.  I use the pole extensions and mount my Yamaha speakers on top.  Saves room and allows you to put them in tight spaces.  Get the right amp and crossover and you will be pleased.  Push them outside of the limits and you will smoke them as with most speakers.

I used this sub as part of a small band practice PA system. We played decently loud, but nothing that should have ever blown anything. But for some reason, the speaker is literally brand new and it won't work anymore. I believe the electronics in the internal low-pass crossover failed. It's a real disappointment. Now I have to spend more money to fix or replace it. I wish I didn't waste my money on this.
