I'd stick with the 181's bang per buck, size and convenience. Clients love the thump and could really care less what model they are. Keep making that money with the 181's. If it aint broke, don't fuck it up just because your ego wants you too. One Love broski.
QSC did such a great job with the KW181, this is why they sold for 10 years and people paid a premium. Fun fact - They used a Celestion FTR subwoofer with vented Ferrite magnet, spring push terminals, multi layer spider protected by a plastic riser, 4" voice coil for exceptional excursion and a weather treated cone which ensures for a long extended life.
Thank you for the this video, I got a call from the GC hear in Virginia Beach to come hear the new QSC ks118 and in person these things are a beast, I mean: Yorkville, JBL VRX, EV ETX18SP type beast even at low volume. This video doesn’t do it justice, you have to see/hear it to believe it.
Oh for sure no disrespect to, JBL but if I had to compare it to a JBL it would definitely be the VRX single 18” speaker 🔊 as far as size, weight and hit factor
If you're invested in the kw 181 it really doesn't pay to spend all that money for a little more thump....In the end the clients aren't gonna ask why you don't have Ks 118
I’ve two of them and I love them. They don’t take up too much space in my minivan. How do you set you gain! I always set mine at 12 0’ clock, I’m afraid to go pass that
It’s been a hell of a task find a guitar center that had the two subs the KS 118 and the KW 181. I believe this is a marketing strategy in order to promote and sell the ks 118’s. How in the world are you to decide when there is nothing to compare it when you go to these stores. This is just my opinion, another individual may feel different. And I messed around with both subs for at least 45 minutes to make sure I was hearing right. What I heard was that the ks 118 does have harder kick. In other words, if you’re playing a song and kick drums drop, the ks 118 is wicked, it’s definitely has more punch, but what I’m looking for that that super low bass frequency that you hear or feel in your chest, when a bass chord is plucked on an instrument and no matter how I positioned the subs, or played with the volume gains on the back of the subs, there was just something about the kw 181 that keep me feeling satisfied. The bass is low, the bass carries a little longer that the new ks 118. It felt like it was more round, while ks 118 felt more linear, almost like a stab or a jab. I personally like the extended low frequency bass of the kw 181 you feel the bass in your chest and not just the kick drum like you hear on the ks118. The ks 118 is beautiful and has non visible speaker grill and all but the Kw 181 can still stand the test of time. So for the dj’s out there I believe if you play a lot of dance music and perhaps house and techno go with the ks118 but if you play r and b, hip hop, reggae. You might do better with the kw 181. Just my opinion. I think if youre undecided go take a listen for yourself. Thanks
D. Corey I have to agree with you on that statement 100%. The new ks 118 does have more headroom range but that’s all. The KW 181 is grimy with his bass and has that growling bass that I love. I dare anyone to play some Dancehall or some old reggae music as a comparison to each of those subs and then tell me what you think.
@@DeanSalesVideos As a one man Team most of the time.Compact but powerful setups are my go to.same with lights.I go for wide beam kaleidoscope types mostly that way 4 can do most of your average size gigs and 2 laser lights at opposite corners of the room.Done
Ks118 definitely delivers a knock out punch compare to ks181. However, Both of these subs are capable of delivering bass at any event. Hey, it’s QSC you can’t go wrong with either of these subs.
It would be nice if you guys did a comparison of the ks118 and the cva-121 I know it’s different size woofers, just curious cause I am deciding the two of them.
@@DjJoeyPinaDJ es mucha la diferencia? Ya que tengo un kw181 y pienso en comprar otro, o si es muy grande la diferencia seria vender el kw y comprar el par de ks
3 года назад
Yo tengo la misma duda, tengo 4 kw181, ¿conviene cambiarlos?
In my humble opinion the real difference is in the box, According tov QSc the 118 has more reinforcements which will result in a tighter bass where as the kw181 is a little bit boomier...i sold one of my 181’s and was thinking of selling the other to purchase the 118 but common sense is telling me why trade a 2020 vehicle for a 2021 and the only difference is new tires.
I haven’t tested the kw152. It depends the type of event, the room size and the type of music you’ll be playing. Weddings vs Proms will be more demanding
Any top regardless of size will have a punchy low end... however if you want really deep bass, you need a physical subwoofer. You can handle a wedding of 150 people no problem in the dance floor with a pair of 152s
L’acoustics would be miles better, but that’s not a fair comparison as they’re in a completely different class and the l’acoustics are far more expensive
I have a Seismic Audio Boosted 1,600 watt 18 inch subwoofer and that sub is crazy aswell. I have 2 2,000 watt QSC K10 K.2 DJ Speakers and that Seismic 18 inch subwoofer.

Dicen que los nuevos patean mas duro que realmente puedes notar la diferencia inmediatamente que si los comparas uno al lado de otro los nuevos son como 5 kilos mas pesados que si usted cuenta con los anterior modelo y no quiere agregar mas peso pues esta bien pero honestamente los nuevos son mejores
You can but need to make sure to keep the phase the same and the mode the same, in all the reviews I've seen the kW sounds a little deeper than the ks, but the ks has better clarity, and better features, I guess if you gave both you can tweak the settings and match them up as close as possible . Test at the store if possible, but QSC remains a decent mid level speaker so you can't go wrong with either one.
the sub moves because the box is not rigid enough, so the box starts to vibrate at it's eigen frequency. If the box is calculated right it would't move.

Nope. The Yamaha has less than 1/2 the wattage of the QSC. Not as tight sounding either. The Yamaha is a nice entry level speaker though. When you're ready to go big league, get some QSC speakers.
@@MrHooskerdu1 I have them. I have KW181s and DXS subs. I have used QSC KW153s and K series. Yamaha is better. You're still hung up on watts which tells me you have a lot to learn still.
@@MrHooskerdu1 As much as I absolutely love them, I wouldn't call these QSCs big league speakers. They're great mid level speakers and wattage is a horrible predictor of performance. Considering that everyone is comparing the older 2k watt QSCs with the newer 3.6k ones and saying that they like the older ones better, tells me that QSC probably used the majority of that extra wattage for more headroom. Which is great, because you can get a cleaner sound and the Sub can recover quicker from big transients, but won't help you much on extended low end freqs, which is what everyone seems to be noticing. And in the professional world, Yamaha has more products than QSC. And that is coming from an absolute QSC fan boy. I have used and love all the KW series stuff, but there is always something out there better. If you really want to step up your rig, get some D&B, Funktion1, L'acoustics or Meyer Audio speakers. But on the mid level pro-sumer market, is it really that hard to believe that Yamaha might have a better sub out there then QSC? It isn't hard for me to believe. Perhaps an open mind might lead you down the road to a discovery you may have otherwise missed.
The yamaha dxs18 is better than a kw181. However the dxs18 isn’t the best model from yamaha anymore, that’s taken by the dxs18xlf.

I set my gain at about 1 which gives me plenty of bass
KW181 always better- deeper lowest contour. If one could afford for stacking two for each side with two RMX 5050 for the job.
