The Peavey DJS

™

Sub is a newly
designed folded bass-horn speaker
system comprising the Peavey 1808-8cu
Black Widow

®

driver.

The DJS Sub is constructed of
medium density fibreboard (MDF), which
is a void-free, warp-free, and highly
durable material. The DJS Sub cabinet is
finished with Peavey’s durable black
carpet. Metal corners are also added to
provide further protection to the cabinet.

FFEEAATTUURREESS

• Compact folded bass-horn design

• One 1808-8cu Black Widow woofer

• Internal crossover with 8 Ohm high-

pass output

• Direct input jack

• Built-in casters for easy transport

PPLLAACCEEMMEENNTT

Low frequency energy is
omnidirectional which means it travels
out in all directions from its source.
Because of this you can greatly affect
the perceived volume of your low
frequency drivers by placing them
correctly within the room.

When we put a sub on the floor it is
said we have coupled with a boundary
(Fig. 1); if we place it against the wall
and the floor, it is said that we have
coupled with two boundaries (Fig. 2).

By placing the sub in the corner and
coupling with three boundaries (see
figure 3), the bass can be greatly
augmented.

Since the length of the low frequency
sound waves can be as long or longer
than the room, proper sub placement

maximizes bass response, and can also
eliminate certain frequencies that stand
out due to the room’s natural
resonances. These are commonly called
“standing waves.” To “tune” the sub to
the room, simply play music through
your sub and try different placements
within the corner, until no frequency
“jumps out” at you, and the bass sounds
full through the sub’s frequency range
and throughout the room.
