Yes, BUT you also get what you pay for!!.....for the average guy Harbinger is fine, but it's NOT professional level equipment, and don't be delusional to think "actual" professionals are using them, because you're in for a reality check.
@@storeykI use these professionally, and they have never let me down. The key is to use them for what they are designed for. They are designed for. If you take two of these, and try to do an outdoor concert for 2000 people, they may not do too well, and neither will any speaker in its class. If you take those same two subs and put them in a room with a few hundred people, they will do just fine.
These Sub are SICK!!! It punches so clean, and louder and better than my EVs sub. I have 4 of these, a few eq tweak and WOW! It shakes the entire 6,000 sqft room.
Nothing against Harbinger, that's actually a nice looking subwoofer. But everyone says "you need big drivers to reach that 20 Hz mark". Well here is an 18" subwoofer that hits 35 Hz. I know of another 10" subwoofer that can hit 16 Hz, and the brands 12" does just that, down to 12 Hz. It's the RSL Speedwoofer. It's for home, not professional application, and certainly won't be as nearly as loud as the Harbinger. But I just get tired of the repeated notion: a large driver means lowest frequencies. Nice Sub by Harbinger by the way. They seem to be offering some good Pro Audio components right now! Thanks for the video! As always!
Not just driver size but desired output at said frequencies you need large cabinets and big drivers to reach 35hz at high SPL physics remains undefeated
@2 Dudes Audio, I remember watching your first video a few years ago on this product brand. What made you bring them back for another review with there newer models?.
They sent us their entire new line to check out. We liked the improvements we saw, so we figured we would share that with you guys. A few years ago Harbinger wasn't really anything that stood out and their products fell short in a lot of ways, but it seems that they have taken their customer's criticism to heart and now are putting out some really decent speakers!!!
@@2DudesAudioi came on youtube looking for ld 18a sub tear down but only saw the 15 and didn't lnow harbinger had this new sub. i got the v2318s because of you guys. I'm hearing a lot of good tbings aboug the ld brand. Of like to see a comparison of 18a vs vs18 or v2318s subs
I run the mls1000 for weddings and love them. I would like to see you guys test the LD ICOA SUBA. I've heard they are the best on the market for the price and beating the more expensive QCS, EV, and JBL models. I know you tested the ICOA 15BT and I just bought a pair of those.
Bullshit.......they are NOT beating JBL or QSC...Period, The End.....sorry but you're just straight delusional, someone has to call you out...... There's nothing wrong with budget stuff, but trying to say it's better than Pro level stuff is where it crosses the line....you're misleading people. If you've never run Pro Level Equipment, everything is going to sound good, because you have nothing "better" to compare it to!
IIrc, on the previous iteration, the V2318s, y'all really liked the driver, overall build quality, and audio performance. However, y'all were not impressed by the amp. What did you see in the V2318s that Harbinger seemed to address in the VS18?
if you had $800, would you rather buy 2 x 12's or 1 x 18 sub? some people are a fan of "stereo" subs, but 2 x18's isn't an option right now becuase of cost.
I currently have two 10" subs that arent doing the trick for me. I'm starting to do some live mixing for bands indoor and outdoor. Would this be a sub that could handle those types of events? Would it provide a good punch for the kick drum? Thanks!
@@chazpozzi All the way, I run a sound reinforcement company that do all sorts of gigs from big to small. I've always been an RCF guy, we run a couple of the 8004's, and recently brought a couple of "cheapies" for satellite units at larger gigs and damn were we surprised. honestly the Icoa 18 keeps with it.
Who has these and has the old ones lmk how they are is they compare the old ones on sale for like 550 should i get two of those or one of these new ones

the way the carton was rolled in...banging onto its side......is it ok for the electronics inside?.... wheels flying in all directions.... i wouldnt buy from this shop..... bad advertising
Great to see you guys are back!!!!! Hope to see more soon!!!
Look at all the new unreleased Harbinger gear in the back corner. I'm sure there will be more videos very soon 🤣
Harbinger has a cult following in the cincinnati area !!! i myself love there products
Being owned and made by guitar center they could really under cut the competition with their pricing...great video.

YESSS!!! Love you guys!
@2 Dudes Audio Where are you located? If close to VA I will let you test a bassboss sub.
That would be amazing
Shoot us an email with the details! 2DudesAudio@gmail.com
Awesome review!! Could you please teardown the Harbinger RoadTrip 25 8" Battery-Powered? I would love to see it
I'd like to see a comparison between Harbinger and Alto.
I really would like to hear your guys feedback comparison with the qsc ks118 with this sub.
We will absolutely be doing a comparison review. We also will compare this to Alto TS318S sub in the near future!
@@2DudesAudio I look forward to that!

Whaaaaaat?!
Welcome back, lads!
Please do the alto ts412/415
Any info on how this sub integrates with the VS4115 ? Same as the 3:series? Love your videos!

my dude no cap😎
I love these teardowns you guys do!!!
What app are you using on your phone to display dB/frequently?

wow dude you are back,can you check the ohms of the speaker?
Amazing video y’all are great
Thanks so much
Love these videos!

I just ordered two to go with 2-4112s to run my EFnote drums through. What's that spectrum analyzer you're using??
i got my subwoofer aka the dual 18inch
Nice video whats the name of the SPL app you are using in the video and is it for android?
Awesome!

For close to that price point I'd stick with the LD icoa 18.
LD is awesome

We love LD!!! We'll be chatting with them at the NAMM Convention in January!
RCF 708 as 2 or this one? If the price was the same.
cerwin vega cvx 21 please.. tnx!!!
What settings are the best to get the most bass from these subs?
What app is he using?
Very small magnet on the speaker. Even Behringer DR18SUB which is cheaper has bigger magnet.
Wish you had speaker reviews. Not seeing much content from you guys
Take it easy on the woofer. You gonna destroy them.
What's the app called?
Looks like Spectroid
Who has these and has the old ones lmk how they are is they compare the old ones on sale for like 550 should i get two of those or one of these new ones
I'd personally sell the single old one and get 2 new ones. It would be worth it
drop the Sv18 Vs Qsc 3600 asap man 💯

I have the 12’s and they peak too easily
@@mikelachendro488 I don’t think so, I see a lot of red light on those 18’s in this video as well.
This was pushed to the absolute limit lol
@@chazpozzi maybe I’ll blow mine so my wife lets me buy some Ksubs lol
@ericbrooker8351 worth a shot 🤣
the v2212 are trash. the v2312 are great. Ive tried both.
