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.
You are reading snippets from reviews of Rockville SBG1188 18" 1000 Watt Passive Pro DJ Subwoofer, MDF Cabinet/Pole Mount
Fantastic bass fill for a set of Phonic S710 main speakers
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
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.
I tested it with some super bass tunes and it actually moved the whole floor
They also saved money by using plastic hardware instead of metal, but the handles and pole mount are sturdy enough for the purpose so no real harm i practical terms either, the grill is metal mesh and while not the heaviest, it would still take a good hit to actually damage the driver, not to mention it lends a nice element to the appearance of the speaker
Because of this we had to reset the speaker and straighten the grill, which was too thin and flimsy.
The speaker enclosure should be built with better material and the grill of thicker material.
During shipping and handling the subwoofer proceeded to smash the metal grill and rip the grill screws out
The grill is garbage, Im gonna assume the whole speaker is second rate at best

At Rockville we understand you have a choice of where to buy your pro audio gear
We strive to compete in quality with higher end brands in the market
We also market directly to end users cutting out all middlemen which is why we are able to offer high end products at lower prices than the cheap stuff out there
Something we like to do is to explain the differences between this and off brand pro audio subwoofers so you can understand how great the quality of this subwoofer is
The cheaper ones use particle board
We spend more money manufacturing these with MDF which will hold up for a much longer time than particle board
We are using a real true pro audio subwoofer in the cabinet which has very large 3" voice coils and a 90 oz magnet
The off brand names use a magnet half the size of this and a smaller size voice coil
The advantage is that our unit can handle more power and will last longer
These subs can take a real beating! The other difference is the build quality
We go the extra mile to use the right amount of glue, solder, etc
Lots of off brand name subs blow due to poor glue or poor solder
Lastly, our company goes through vigorous testing for sound quality and tuning before we start our mass production
Lastly, we have one of our very own technicians go to the factory and inspect a minimum of 15% of the production models to ensure the quality is as good as the original samples we engineered
This product has a 1 year warranty (It is highly unlikely you will ever have to use it though).
