Tectonic LS-218 Subwoofer

Regardless of whether your music content is Live Classical, or Canned DubStep, the LS-218 delivers power that you can feel, and does so in a very musical way. It features an advanced port design optimizing chamber size, port velocity and acoustic loading of the dual 18” woofers. The enclosure has superior sensitivity, power handling and provides increased gain over typical front-loaded designs. The cabinets were designed for easy stacking and for use as a cardioid pattern acoustic solution where rear and side-firing low frequency pattern control is desired.
