Power, Performance, and Easy System Integration

The Yamaha DXS18XLF offers thunderous low end, superb clarity, and best-in-class SPL performance. This powered bass-reflex subwoofer boasts a high-power 1,600-watt Class D amplifier, a 30Hz–150Hz frequency range, and can tackle any application you throw at it. Sophisticated DSP processing yields high-resolution sound with super-low latency, while optimized presets and an intuitive LCD display make dialing in your settings a piece of cake. This sub employs a lightweight, yet durable, plywood cabinet with a premium-grade polyurea coating. The DXS18XLF is a must-have for completing your full-range DZR system.

Sophisticated DSP processing

At Sweetwater, we're impressed by the DXS18XLF's intelligent DSP processing. Yamaha's D-XSUB LF processing gives you total command of your low end. Choose between a NORMAL mode that offers balanced low-frequency response and a BOOST mode that provides tighter, more focused bass with extra punch. Beyond that, XTENDED LF mode drops your low-end even lower, yielding chest-thumping low-frequencies that must be heard to be believed. Ensure a clean stage monitoring environment, thanks to the DXS18XLF's Cardioid Mode, which effectively decreases the sound pressure onstage while increasing the low-frequency output directed towards your audience. Despite all this powerful DSP, the DXS18XLF remains easy to use, thanks to optimized factory presets and an intuitive LCD screen.

Custom-designed transducer

The Yamaha DXS18XLF is loaded with a great-sounding, custom-designed transducer. Its durable die-cast aluminum frame and 4-inch voice coil deliver impressive bass response, even at cranked volumes. Experience extraordinary low-frequency linearity, thanks to the DXS18XLF's dual damper, which mitigates unwanted vibration during high-output situations.

Great Subwoofer

I have two of these subs and man are they the cleanest subs around. The low end is powerful and clean. I paired them with JBL 18" SRX tops and they hold their own. They are heavy so you'll need some help getting them around. The boost mode is a great way to enhance the punch and keep it at a high level. Big thanks to Josh Sackett for always being a big help!

Excellent

Recently purchased 4 of these. I have been very happy with the purchase. Not only do they have an incredible output but they provide low end extension to a much lower frequency than I have ever experienced in the budget friendly category of speakers. Kick drums are punchy but has enough low end extension to keep up with low end heavy tracks used heavily in the style of music I mix often.

Great sub

I bought this DXS18XLF for a small outdoor music event and combined it with an older DXS18 and two 12" tops. Plenty of low end for 500 to 600 outside. Great sound. Will buy another.
