Satisfactory sound and solid construction, but...
DJ Tetei 21.02.2021
In terms of sound, this subwoofer does the job it was designed for, but it doesn't offer a linear response on the declared frequencie range. The manufacturer does not provide details in the user manual about the speaker model used or its impedance, about the amplifier module model used and its specifications, about the maximum input signal supported or if the frequency response is measured at -3 dB or -10 dB. Also, no wiring diagram is provided. On the very low frequency range, below 40 Hz, this subwoofer will have difficulty reproducing the sound satisfactorily. The lack of specifications regarding the speaker model and the amplifier model used, as well as the lack of a wiring diagram, create difficulties in identifying the necessary spare parts in case of need. I requested additional information from the brand owner, who responded promptly, stating that the subwoofer speaker supports a power of 600 watts, at an impedance of 4 Ohm, and the amplification module delivers 800 watts. So, if you are wondering why the "Limit" LED lights up sooner than you expect, here is one of the reasons. Also, keep in mind that when you use both XLR input connectors on the subwoofer, the sensitivity of the input signal increases, and on the low frequency output circuit this signal is summed, and therefore the maximum output volume position shifts down, to about 1 o'clock. Also, you must set the input and output gain levels correctly on the mixer, equalizer or active crossover. There's a good reason for the "0 dB" marking on your level meters. The user manual specifies a peak power of 2400 watts, but some models specify the peak power differently, on some, such as the one in the photo published on the website, appears 1800 watts peak, and on others, such as the one I purchased, 3200 watt peak appears, which raises questions about the honesty of the data declared by the manufacturer and the consistency of the components used in the manufacturing process.
The box appears to be well assembled and solid, but you have to be careful during manipulation because the finishing is easyly prone to scoring.

Superb for this cheap sub
Bassmonster92 09.04.2021
bought 2x dsp18 and 2x dsx 115, together they work like a dream, relatively cheap setup, but heeey how fun they are. using in livingroom, and the odd rental gig. livingroom is loud and fun, at a gig, they are just insane for the price point. even other sound guys ask what brand it is, and gets chocked by the prise /performance.
If in doubt, just buy, you won`t regret it

An okay Subwoofer
BlitzWolf 05.11.2023
Bought this for a gig, worked well for the gig but when testing it at louder levels, sub is bottoming out, i instantly moved forward and sold this sub for a similar price and went out and bought 2 new better subs (Different Brand) for a higher price. you get what you pay for! but sound wise other than loudness, it does the job, good low end but would prefer more settings on the back instead of a volume knob. before you say. i bought this sub to see Thomanns makes of speakers, sound quality. i dont think i would purchase another speaker from Thomanns make.

when handling, every single time i either scratch myself or i cut myself because of the quality of this sub, it is good build quality but its very prickly when handling as the texture of the coating is like sand paper against skin.

overrall. best for the smaller gigs and to be used only a few times.

its a hard 5/10 from me from this sub

Good loudspeaker, very bad quality cabinet
Istvánka 06.03.2023
Good quality amplifier and loudspeaker, but the box is made of very very poor quality soft material.

The wooden screws that hold the front grill and the rear amplifier panel are no longer needed after the first unscrewing. The screws holding the feet tend to tear out of the soft material of the box.

Great quality 18” Sub for a Good Price
Mace Sounds 26.05.2020
The Box Pro DSP 18 is a really good subwoofer for the price of it. It had a good all black finish, with handles on each side making it easy for two people to carry.

Pros:
• in built crossover works well not needing for an external crossover
• good warm sound with punchy bass
• gets loud and clear, at 80% it’s loud enough and had a very good lower end. Super good frequency response.

Cons:
• only has a limited led and no protection, so I’m running them at 80%.
• quite heavy at around 40kg with no wheels, so needs two people to carry. No problem though as it has good handles.

Overall a very good subwoofer for the price, and I can happily recommend it.

Good price to performance ratio
goskxp 08.02.2025
Sounds really good, but the box is made of cheap material, very fragile. The potmeter on the back is relatively bad quality, too easy to turn, doesn’t lock at 0dB, also the included power cord is very short.

Good deep overall bass indoors. Especially powerful around 39 hz (E Flat) when used outdoors.

Excellent value for money!
LiamDevlin 05.02.2019
I now own four of these, running two each side of the stage and they sound great. for the price of these units you can't go wrong. I'm currently using them in a 650 seat theatre and they provide more than enough low end to my mix

The Best 18 Inch Sub Money Can Buy!
Ashley B 02.09.2024
I had purchased one of these subs to fill in some of the lower end that my top cabinets have a hard time producing, just to hopefully get a more fuller sound but I was blown away at what this subwoofer can do at this price point. One of these units was easily able to keep up with two 1000w top cabinets, providing good sounding low end for a fuller sound. The controls could not get much simpler for a subwoofer and is perfect for any beginners. The cabinet is built rather well for a subwoofer at this price point. There is no custom DSP settings built into this sub, although I found that the preset crossover options worked just fine for my applications. Large subwoofers are always a bit of a pain to handle and move around, despite this the built in handles feel sturdy to use. The only point out that I have noticed with the unit is that when you have the unit close to its limit, you do get some unwanted port noise when up close to the subwoofer: From a couple metres away however, it isn't really that noticeable and again, for the price point, you cant really complain that the unit isn't perfect. It may work in some applications better than others but this is the same for most products out there. Overall, I strongly recommend the subwoofer if you would like to add some more low end to a sound system for a brilliant price. Hope this helps any buyers!
