The QW-218 incorporates two of the new extra-high power Low Rider 18" woofers and a new compact cabinet design. The QW-218 is a direct radiator subwoofer designed specifically for the high end proaudio user.

Description

The Low Rider 18" driver is a milestone in high-power subwoofer design. An incredible 3200 Watt program rating and extra-long cone excursion come together to produce amazing new levels of clean, deep bass. This makes the QW-218 a superior choice for the bottom end of any high powered sound system.

The QW-218 is unusually compact for its power handling, SPL output, distortion performance, and bass extension. This is made possible by special characteristics designed into the Low Rider woofer. The QW-218 is well braced and very stiff, as internal pressures produced by the Low Rider woofer can be very high. The vent design integrated into the enclosure includes a vertical brace to further increase enclosure stiffness.

The QW-218 vent's large area and long path length allow for a large volume of air to move with very low resistance. This is important due to the massive airflow volumes that the Low Rider woofer can produce.

The QW-218 is constructed of premium .720" plywood and is covered with a tough, durable black Hammer Head™ polyurethane coating, making this system rugged and roadworthy. A 16- gauge powder-coated perforated metal grille covers the front of the system to protect the speakers from external damage.
