PRV Audio’s 18SW2400 subwoofer is designed for professional audio applications requiring high power handling and low distortion.
31 mm Height, 4″ voice coil handles 2400 watts Program RMS
Over 12.5 mm of Xmax for deep bass reproduction
High BL motor for impressive control and massive output
For maximum power handling, there is under-spider venting
When loaded in small boxes, it produces big sound
With its extended low-end response, great performance is realized in vented boxes as small as 7 cu. ft. This makes it ideal for applications where space is limited but powerful, deep bass is needed.

*Nominal power handling is defined as the maximum RMS power that the speaker can handle in a 2-hour test with a pink noise with 6dB of crest factor and a bandpass filter with 12db/oct tuned in its usable frequency range. **Continuous Program Power (RMS) is the maximum power that the speaker can handle considering a regular musical program using our recommended filters, this power can be used to define the optimum amplifier power to avoid a clean signal without clipping or saturation. ***Max Peak Power is the maximum power operation for the speaker, this power is allowed just for a few fractions of a second, usually found just on the peaks of the music. Keeping this power for a little longer timer will damage the speaker.

Great sounding speaker. I’ve been using PRV for about 5 years now. I recently did a rental of my EV ETX18SP (subs) and got them back with blown woofers. I decided to replace / upgrade them to the 18PRV – SW2400. They sounded better than the original woofer. I had already said that “If I had to replace the EV sub that it would be with a PRV speaker.” I’ve used the SW2200 on my passive system and it has never let me down. 8 18 SW2200,
