Classic subwoofers. Still nothing else touches them even now for the price point. Such a shame they stopped making them. I own 2 of the 15 inch version and they are still going strong shaking the windows out of clubs everytime i use them!
What a shame they don't produce there anymore! I have the 15 mm subs from the blak series and I can assure you that they are the bomb. If I found them used for 18 I would buy them without worrying too much! I have other newer and more expensive subs RCF 8003 - LD Stiger 18 G3 but they can't reach the audio quality and power of the Blak series. Greetings from Italy.
+antonio mendoza Hey dude It has been nearly 2 years since you got this Black 18. What do you think of it now? Is it better then QSC KW181, EV ELX118P, FBT Mitus 118sa and RCF 8003? many thanks for reply Antonio btw. What about the weight? Specs say it weighs like 100lbs but you seem to lift it like it was half that ?!?!?! :O Are you that strong or am I missing something?
I have sold these subs, due to me moving out of state, but yes the app did work for Mr. I never did updates, just used the app to control sub settings and levels
I did a video on the sound test but the bass was to strong and distorted the mic on my cell so it sounds crapy....complete opposite from the actual sound you hear in person
Tyler Truitt Thanks for the feedback and I know lol, the manufacture specs are rarely even close to correct. QSC said that the 181 could do 135db peak but when measured with correct, real world environments it can barely touch 127. Barely.
Tyler Truitt Cool, considering we're recommending brands, you should look into a company called Danley. One Danley th118 has the output of four QSC 181's. No word of a lie

Without a doubt a gem!

Yeah it does bipass the tops but you can still dial out the tops with the app or dsp on the rear
Yes it does bipass the tops so you need to be carefull of that so that you dont blow anything out like your high drivers

Did this ever get a reply? I would be interested to see if anyone would compare to the QSC KW181
stands up to anything out there on power and at price point! My friend owns them now and still beating hard, I used them on countless 4 to 8 hour gigs
So what is your conclusion on the Alto Black series? I'm looking intonthe full range 12's.
great build,price and power. Not to mention the features.
TEST SOUNG?
Hey, so did u find out about the crossover switch. Is it for the tops to be bypassed?
Hi, Thanks for this video. I have a quick question (even in 2019 :) ... Does the Live Drive App still work for you?
I have sold these subs, due to me moving out of state, but yes the app did work for Mr. I never did updates, just used the app to control sub settings and levels
@@maguiver1972 out of curiosity, how much did you sell them for..? I've been looking for a pair of them to buy..
How the price bro.
so do you like the sound?
sound to this date I love! I don't think anything will outdate this for a while. Max power 2400watts and 1200rms!
I did a video on the sound test but the bass was to strong and distorted the mic on my cell so it sounds crapy....complete opposite from the actual sound you hear in person
Ill get back to you in the db level,I will check the specs on it
Whats the max db on one of these?
Daniel Graves rated at 133 db but you will never get that. just like every other speaker its over rated buy about 6db

look into tuba 24, 30 or titian 39 and 48 subwoofers. one titian 48 is better then two qsc kw181's
Tyler Truitt Cool, considering we're recommending brands, you should look into a company called Danley. One Danley th118 has the output of four QSC 181's. No word of a lie
ok. the th118 weighs 160lbs and its peak spl is above 100hz which doesn't help. im gonna stick with titian 48's
it took 5 mins to take it out the box
CRAZY RIGHT!
