    Peavey PV118 PA Subwoofer

    If your sound system has been politely asking for more low end, the Peavey PV118 is done being polite. This 18-inch bass subwoofer is the kind of speaker that doesn't just fill a room — it reminds the room who's in charge. Built on Peavey's legendary Performance & Value legacy, the PV118 delivers the kind of deep, chest-rattling bass output you'd expect from gear that costs twice the price.

    Peavey PV118 Low-End That Means Business

    Low-End That Means Business

    The PV118 is centered around an 18-inch Pro Eighteen premium woofer housed in a vented bass subwoofer enclosure — a design that lets the cabinet breathe properly so bass frequencies stay tight, punchy, and extended rather than bloated and muddy. It handles 400 watts of program power and hits an impressive 118dB SPL rating. Whether you're reinforcing a live band, powering a DJ setup, or just making your neighbor question their life choices, this sub does the heavy lifting without drama.

    • 18-Inch Heavy Duty Woofer with 3-Inch VC and 65 oz. Magnet: A serious driver for serious output. The large voice coil and high-mass magnet keep the woofer cool and controlled under load, delivering consistent bass performance without thermal compression creeping in on long sets.
    • Vented Bass Subwoofer Enclosure: The ported cabinet design extends low-frequency response and improves efficiency, letting the driver move more air with less effort. More bass, less strain — a deal the woofer is very happy with.
    • 400 Watts Program Power / 118dB SPL: Plenty of headroom for live sound reinforcement, DJ applications, and everything in between. The 118dB rating puts it firmly in the "people will feel this" category.

    Built Like It Has Something to Prove

    Peavey didn't cut corners on the cabinet construction, and the PV118 wears its build quality proudly. The enclosure is assembled using dado-joined 3/4-inch MDF — a joinery method that creates mechanically interlocked panels rather than relying entirely on glue and optimism. Add steel handles, steel corners, and T-nut component mounting, and you've got a subwoofer that can take the bumps, scrapes, and questionable loading dock situations that come with regular gigging without falling apart mid-tour.

    • Dado-Joined 3/4-Inch MDF Construction: Dado joints add structural rigidity by locking panels together mechanically, which keeps the enclosure from developing the kinds of rattles and buzzes that haunt cheap cabinets. A quiet cabinet is a happy cabinet.
    • Steel Handles and Steel Corners: Built to take the bumps and bruises of life on the road so your cabinet doesn't have to. Reinforced corner protection and integrated carry handles make transport straightforward — no personal trainer required.
    • Perforated Steel Grille with T-Nut Mounting: The steel grille protects the woofer from accidental contact, and T-nut hardware ensures components stay locked in place even after repeated transport and setup cycles.

    Peavey PV118 Plug In, Play On

    Plug In, Play On

    The PV118 keeps its I/O straightforward so you can spend less time troubleshooting signal chains and more time actually running sound. Two 1/4-inch phone jacks wired in parallel allow for easy daisy-chaining to additional speakers, and the internal low-pass crossover network handles frequency management on board — no external crossover required. A built-in pole socket on top of the cabinet lets you mount a full-range speaker directly above the sub, turning the PV118 into a compact, stackable PA column without requiring extra hardware.

    • Two 1/4-Inch Phone Jacks in Parallel: Simple, reliable connectivity that allows you to chain additional cabinets inline without breaking the signal path.
    • Internal Low-Pass Crossover Network: The onboard crossover filters out high frequencies before they reach the woofer, keeping the driver focused on what it's good at and extending its usable lifespan in the process.
    • Top Pole Socket Mount: Stack a full-range speaker on top for a complete, vertically integrated PA solution. It's the audio equivalent of a well-organized backpack — everything you need, right where you need it.

    A Subwoofer That Earns Its Spot in Your Rig

    The Peavey PV118 is a no-nonsense 18-inch subwoofer for musicians, DJs, sound engineers, and anyone else who believes that bass frequencies deserve actual respect. It delivers genuine low-end power, solid build quality, and practical connectivity at a price that makes it one of the more sensible purchases you'll make for your PA system. Reliable, road-ready, and refreshingly honest about what it is — a hard-working subwoofer that just gets the job done.

    Great Bass! Freight train coming.

    The lows are awesome. I hooked it up to a 2450 QSC amp Bridged. It had my pictures falling off the wall. I will be purchasing 2 more for my set up.
