Looking at subs in the price range of 1000 each.  I have looked at the qw-218 peaveys and the sp-218 peaveys.  Is there that big of a difference in these cabs?  They both have pro riders subs in them.  I am open to other brands and have heard good things about the yorkville subs.  Would like feedback.  thx

Build your own.
As long as rider acceptance, resale value, cross renting, name brand recognition, etc. aren't factors and you have the tools time and skills, then that may be a good option.

I havn't seen many peavy subs on a rider so I'm guessing these are for personal weekend warrior use??   All valid points to be brought up.

Heres the driver thats in the qw, peavy low rider18

Now with the eminence programing you can compare 3 drivers in the same dimensional box, play with port length to get the most out of each driver, and see who wins as far as output, power handling, -3 db location, db output at a given freq.

Wow someone agrees with me.

Tracy,
For $1k per box you can build a great double 18

Get the programing and drivers from us speaker, talk to Al.  Use 1 of these drivers, or use both for comparison.
After I built my double 18 box, and was chosen over eaw 528's yakville 1004's and jbl 4719's, by the owners of those box's I'll never buy a sub again.
Use those drivers I have listed, power them with 2000-3500 watts each box and hold on tight.
Plus you can build them to the size you want.

Heres mine loaded with faital 18xl1500

I'm running a crest pro 8200 bridged at 4500 watts per box.
Al at u.s. speaker is very knowledgeable< probably speelded that wurd rong !
