QRx218S
Dual 18” Subwoofer
Loudspeaker System
General Description:
The QRx-218S is a dedicated subwoofer system that features 
the excellent low-frequency capabilities of two powerful EVX180B 18-inch drivers with 4-inch voice coils. In the QRx-218S, 
these drivers are front-mounted in a compact enclosure that 
is tuned to 36 Hz and delivers solid bass fundamentals. The 
1,200-watt continuous, 4,800-watt peak power capacity of 
the QRx-218S easily provides 133 dB SPL continuous, 139 
dB peak output capability at 1 meter. The QRx-218S 
enclosure has EV’s recessed comfort-lift handles on the top 
and the bottom of the enclosure so the box can be lifted easily. 
On the back of the standard versions of the enclosure are 
two sealed pocket wheels at the bottom and two handles at 
the top of the system so it can be tilted back and moved 
comfortably by one person. On the rigging versions of the 
QRx-218S, there are two L-tracks on the top and bottom of 
the enclosure to allow the system to be hung horizontally or 
vertically. The standard versions of the QRx-218S are also 
equipped with a metal 1-3/8-inch mounting socket and are 
shipped with a 34-inch pole to allow elevation of full-range 
speakers above the sub. The QRx-218S enclosure is built of 
13-ply, void-free, grain-oriented birch plywood that is coated 
with Futura, a sprayed on polyurethane finish that is very 
rugged and weather resistant. The drivers are protected from 
damage by a 16-gauge powder-coated steel grille with fabric 
backing. The enclosure is available in black or white finishes, 
with or without the rigging hardware. When paired with a 
powerful, high-quality amplifier such as EV’s P1201 Modular 
Precision Series or the P3000 Precision Series units, the QRx218S can augment the performance of even the finest sound 
systems with high levels of extended bass response.
