A very powerful Sub-low

EV ELX 118P is a very powerful & very good sound quality sub-woofer.

It is very simple, 1 input & 1 loop out with a simple level control knob.

I usually use it at 300 ppls venue.

The low end is very powerful with detail.

I highly recommend this.

Light and Compact Surprisingly Powerful

This sub drops very low if you add your own DSP.

Anybody serious about sound will never use the factory children's settings... building your very own sound system should be every technicians hearts desire; but long gone are the days of lugging heavy kit to a well under paid gig for a bunch of light weights!

Basically, I like it because it works, it can take the hits and reacts well to my ear (and I'm very particular), I'd say I'm a cross between Studio Reference and Loud Clear + Heavy sounding PA audio!

The EV ELX 112P + 118P sound better then 115P + 118P, mainly because the 15" driver couldn't stand against the 12" for reference or clarity and confused the tightness of bass frequency way tooooo much IMHO!

Anyway perhaps you've made up your mind already for some other brand and stopped here just to seek bad reviews (sorry to disappoint) but what you don't know shouldn't bother you too much, maybe... : l

The perfect sub?

I spent ages reading reviews on the EV ELX range before taking the plunge. In the end I bought two of these 18" subs, together with two ELX 112P Tops. The sound quality is amazing. They're easy to set up, look great, sound great and can be carried by one person.

A lot of reviews have said they have an overheating issue, but I've used mine on multiple occasions - sometimes they've been on for 6 hours (2 hours band playing the rest background music) and I've never had an issue.

They're plenty powerful for pubs, weddings, parties and the overall quality is really impressive.

Stop reading reviews - buy them now!

Elx 118p

Well what can I say EV have delivered yet again, wooden cabinets , good handles and a decent thump to give any gig that extra umph, I have these paired up with the Zlx series and love the sound these produce, on the heavy side but seems well made

Good bass speaker

I test many different brands bass speakers and I can say: this has the best proportion "price/sound ".

I use a set 2xZLX12P+ 2xELX118P. Sound nice, clear, expressive and powerfull.

Crossover, even one channel, shoul be good add for this speaker.

So, total: I am fully satisfied of this speaker!
