Featuring a long-excursion 18” (460mm)/4” (100mm) voice coil driver in a compact enclosure that has four reflex ports with a large frontal area to reduce turbulent air noise at very high levels.

A convection-cooled Class D amplifier module delivers 2000W peak output to the driver for maximum low frequency extension and chest-thumping punch. Crossover, EQ, metering and control functions are provided by onboard DSP via a rotary encoder interface and multi-function colour screen on the rear panel.

The XP118 enclosure is built for the road, constructed from durable plywood and finished in textured black paint. A perforated steel grille protects the driver, and the enclosure has a 35mm pole-mount socket in the top surface and two ergonomic side handles.
