  • Powerful Sub for Mobile DJ Events
The QSC KS118 is a beast of an 18-inch powered subwoofer, delivering chest-thumping bass down to 35Hz that’s ideal for weddings, parties, and larger gigs in my mobile DJ setup. Its 3,600W Class D amp drives massive SPL up to 136dB peak, pairing perfectly with QSC tops like my KC12s for full-range punch. Key Strengths • Deep extension in DEEP mode and cardioid array option (with 2+ units) rejects rear sound, keeping bass focused on the dance floor without stage bleed. • Built-in DSP with presets, gain control, and low-noise fan make setup simple for quick loads in Western NY venues up to 60 miles out. • Rugged plywood cabinet with casters (77 lbs) handles road abuse; M20 pole mount stacks easily with mains. Most Important to Know Omni or cardioid modes optimize for any space—cardioid shines for stage use. Runs clean even pushed hard, with musical lows that fill rooms effortlessly for all genres. What Other Customers Should Know Pros like DJs rave about its output-to-size ratio over older models; EQ right and it thumps without distortion. ... show more

  • Horrible shipping or manufacturing on this one
The sub as shown in the pics came damaged. The power led is somewhere in the back of the sub also shown in pics. Do not buy this on amazon. Go at it local store, open it, try it, verify that everything is as it should be.

  • The real deal.
This is an excellent unit for my mobile wedding / pub gigs. There are products that go 'lower' or go 'louder' but this thing delivers excellent punchy bass that fills the room day-in and day-out at a great price. Combine it with a screw-in type crank-handle speaker pole and you have a solid base for even the biggest tops. Pairs great with my 68lb SRX812's. The included built-in casters are quiet and strong. Don't forget to order the factory cover to keep your investment safe! ... show more

Had this for a week and a half now and love it sounds great and was shipped with care and discretion. Arrived ahead of time. Put it in my home and haven’t even run it very hard yet but being an 18” is it’s very impressive. I bet my neighbors hate me now!!!
