B-52

Description

Built to withstand the abuse of the road, the B-52 LX-18 V2 Subwoofer is backed by a lifetime cabinet construction warranty. An internal compression chamber provides intense, clean and controlled bass. At the heart of the LX-18 V2 is the B-52 18-200X with a cast-aluminum frame, massive 200-oz. magnet, double spider anti-rocking surround and innovative 4" dual-layered, tempered voice coil. It also features 4" heavy-duty casters for ease of mobility and increased cabinet longevity and a rock-solid tilt-back metal bar handle for increased mobility.

B-52 18-200X Subwoofer
The B-52 18-200X 18" subwoofer features a cast-aluminum frame, 200-oz. magnet structure, double spider anti-rocking surround, a bumped back plate for greater excursion and 4" dual-layered tempered voice coil. The voice coil is wound with 4 layers of 25-gauge copper wire, optimally sized for this motor.

Internal compression chamber

The B-52 18" subwoofer's acoustic load is controlled by a specially designed horn and compression chamber that minimizes the excursion of the driver while maximizing the system's output. The optimally sized acoustic aperture of the compression chamber forms the throat of the horn and helps to force air through the horn at an increased velocity and pressure. The compression chamber optimizes the horn's output and the acoustic impedance seen by the B-52 18-200L transducer. It is this acoustic impedance transforming "phase-plug" design that enables the LX-Series subwoofers to achieve amazing and unprecedented output levels.

    The day I bought it I put it to the test and tried it in my backyard and it was nothing but complaints by most of my neighbors, most of them were saying that their windows were rattling, so at that moment I knew it was what I was looking for.

    This is a great sub! I have used a pair of the older SRX 18" JBL's for years, but nothing like the B-52! Yeah, it's a little on the big side, but if you don't want to compromise your sound with a "compact sub" this is the one! It will melt your face!! Also usable as an emergency shelter / shoe rack! Use a good x-over and you can't wrong!!!
