18" High Power
Subwoofer
The STX818S is a compact, high
power subwoofer system containing a
2242H patented Super Vented Gap
Cooled™ 18" woofer in a front-loaded,
vented enclosure. The enclosure is
designed to present a minimum frontal
area. The system offers complete input
connection flexibility for compatibility
with a variety of cabling schemes. A
recessed, external switch allows
selection of either contacts +1/-1 or
+2/-2.
The STX818S is equipped with a
top-mounted, threaded, 20 mm socket
that can receive the optional SS4-BK
pole. This adjustable height pole can
be used to mount speakers equipped
with standard 35 mm pole sockets and
weighing up to 50 kg (100 lb). The
threaded socket minimizes buzzing
and rattling and assures that the pole
will be secure and straight.
The enclosure is constructed of top
quality birch/poplar laminate plywood,
coated in JBL’s rugged DuraFlex™
finish and is heavily braced to
maximize low-frequency performance.
The attractive CNC-machined, 14gauge steel grille is internally lined
with acoustically transparent cloth to
provide additional driver protection
and give a very professional
appearance. The rear of the enclosure
is fitted with T-nuts which may be
used to attach the optional WK-4
caster kit.
