I have a cheap set of 10" Harbinger PA speakers in my basement music room/rehearsal space that were distorting horribly at usable volumes
a decent EQ.After a couple hours of reasonable breaking in and tweaking, I took them to a BBQ for the 4th that was fairly chill- nothing super loud and no unusually low bass... just typical top-40 stuff and family friendly volume.

But they compensated for that with abundant bracing, the result being a solid cabinet with minimal vibration and zero resultant coloration or resonances
If nothing else, these cabinets are worth a hundred on their own
The subs are big and about the weight you'd expect from a well-made 18" cabinet.

This Sub will shake the house of has a great thump and Bing for the price
It will give you a good thump and as I mentioned, add a passive 100 hz crossover do clean it up and you will be very happy with the sound you get for the price you paid.

Cons .. build quality not great, has ok clean bass and
However I will say even with the rattle the speaker really really performs with deep clear bass
I tested it with some super bass tunes and it actually moved the whole floor

Rockville is proud to introduce the all new PBG18 18” professional subwoofer
This latest addition to our bass gig series is our most powerful and best quality passive subwoofer to date
We tested these against subwoofers from leading brands in the industry such as Peavey, Yamaha, and others and these held their own! Please do not compare this to any off brand name subs
This subwoofer is commercial grade
The advantages of purchasing Rockville, Yamaha, Peavey, or other high end brands are longevity, power, sound quality, and sensitivity
We did so much testing
There is a huge difference between the quality and components of this versus off brand names
The off brand enclosures are built with a material called particle board
We spend more money manufacturing these with MDF, which will hold up for a much longer time than particle board
Better quality wood also equals better sound! The pro audio subwoofer in the cabinet has a very large 4" KSV voice coil and a 100 oz
high quality magnet
The off brand names models will usually have a magnet half the size and a voice coil half the size as well
The advantage is that our unit can handle more power and will last longer
These subs can take a real beating! Another thing we wanted to focus on is the sensitivity
When we were doing all our testing we noticed with the same amplifier, one subwoofer we were testing against went louder than the rest
The reason was because it had a better sensitivity rating
This means that it was more sensitive to amplifier power
We had our engineers design this sub to have as good of a sensitivity rating as that particular sub we tested that we liked.
