The PA 18 ECO MKII is a solid, budget-friendly subwoofer option for bands and DJs needing serious low-end reinforcement. Its built-in crossover and decent power make it easy to use, though you'll need a reasonably powerful amplifier to really get the most out of it. It's a workhorse for smaller stages and portable sound systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
The crossover is fixed, meaning you'll need an amplifier capable of delivering sufficient power into an 8-ohm load and capable of handling the subwoofer's frequency range without excessive strain.
While robust, the MDF isn't as impact-resistant as Baltic birch plywood, so be mindful of handling and transport to prevent damage on frequent touring schedules.
The low cut is a gentle roll-off; it primarily prevents the subwoofer from overpowering smaller satellite speakers, and shouldn't drastically alter the overall tonal balance.
