Low-frequency Boost from Industry Leader JBL!

The VRX918SP powered subwoofer delivers extraordinary power handling, clarity, flexibility and, of course, stunning JBL sound in an attractive, easy to handle and affordable package. The VRX918SP is a perfect fit for medium-sized venues that don't want to sacrifice sound quality just because they're not as big as other professional facilities. In fact, it's been built to the same high standards as JBL's VerTec Series, and it uses the same concert-proven drivers. For compact power, it's the JBL VRX918SP.

JBL VRX918SP Powered Flying Subwoofer at a Glance:
  • Lightweight and built for smaller venues
  • Flexible mounting options
  • Enclosure built for optimum performance
Lightweight and built for smaller venues

The VRX918SP is a compact, high power suspendable subwoofer system containing a 2265G-1 neodymium magnet, patented Differential Drive, 18" woofer in a front-loaded, vented enclosure. The VRX918SP was designed specifically for use in arrays with the VRX928LA Line Array speaker and VRX-SMAF Array Frame. In addition it may also be used in arrays consisting entirely of VRX918SP subwoofers.

Flexible mounting options

The system offers complete input connection flexibility for compatibility with a variety of cabling schemes. A recessed, external switch allows selection of either contacts +1/-1 or +2/-2 to be routed to the woofer. Equally at home in ground stacked applications, the VRX918SP is equipped with a top-mounted, threaded, 20 mm socket that can receive the optional SS4-BK pole. This adjustable height pole can be used to mount speakers equipped with standard 36 mm pole sockets. The threaded socket minimizes buzzing and rattling and assures that the pole will be secure and straight.

Enclosure built for optimum performance

The enclosure is constructed of top quality birch plywood, coated in JBL's rugged DuraFlex finish and is heavily braced to maximize low frequency performance. The attractive CNC-machined, 16-gauge steel grille is internally lined with acoustically transparent foam to provide additional driver protection and give a very professional appearance. The rear of the enclosure is fitted with T-nuts which may be used to attach the optional WK-4 caster kit.

JBL VRX918SP Powered Flying Subwoofer Features:
  • Built-in JBL DrivePack DPC-2 amplifier module designed in conjunction with Crown provides 1500 Watts of peak Power. DSP based resident input module provides system optimization, EQ and crossover functionality.
  • 18 inch, 2268FF dual voice coil, neodymium magnet Differential Drive woofer for high-power capacity and light weight
  • Integral rigging hardware for simple connection of enclosures and optional array frame
  • 20 mm threaded pole socket for solid, secure satellite speaker mounting
  • Large port area for reduced distortion

Worth every penny!
Light weight, powerful and the sound... oh man... these sound gooooood!

I have both the passive and active VRX subs...

Good investment. These will serve many applications.

Yes they are expensive, but it's worth it.

Even more than expected.
Even more than expected. When we first powered or new subs on the sound that came out was unbelievable, and when we tuned them in it was even better. The clarity and quality of sound is amazing, I have never been disappointed with JBL . And of course you can"t go wrong with Crown as the main power source, what a great combination. If I can give 10 stars I would.
