Hey really are remarkable. The sound is so perfect. For sure the best system I have ever heard!

They’re incredible and super solid like you said. God bless

Gorgeous box 🔥

Thanks a lot my brother. I can imagine haha

Will do have a ton of gig logs I’ve been working on.

So I always run my subwoofers at 0 db to limit distortion. The knob on the bassboss subwoofers are not gain knobs and are input sensitivity knobs. So wether you run them at 10% or 100% it makes no difference. It’s about how much volume you need. Just make sure your signal coming into them is clean and not clipping. Hope this helps.

@@DJBrianRodrigues thanks a lot

This is from the manual. To achieve cardioid operation, you need at least one subwoofer facing the audience and one cabinet in cardioid mode placed facing away from the audience. Ideally, you should have two cabinets facing the audience and one facing away from the audience. The cabinets facing the audience should have the same preset loaded in them. The cabinet facing away from the audience should be set to the Cardioid preset - Preset 8. The Cardioid Mode cabinet should be placed between the audience-facing cabinets for cancellation directly behind the array. The main subwoofer cabinets face the audience and use one of the first 7 presets, while the cardioid cabinet faces away from the audience with Preset 8 selected. When two cabinets are facing forward and one is facing backward in cardioid mode, set the input levels the same for all cabinets, with the same signal going to all. When one cabinet is facing forward and one is facing backward in cardioid mode, set the cardioid cabinet’s level 6dB lower than the forward-facing cabinet, with both cabinets receiving the same signal. If there’s only one cabinet facing forward and another one facing backward in cardioid mode, you can place the cardioid cabinet on top of the forward-facing cabinet. If you place the cardioid cabinet next to the forward-facing cabinet, position the forward-facing cabinets further away from the stage or the area where you want to reduce sound levels. The most significant sound reduction happens along an imaginary line drawn from the center of the forward-facing cabinet’s woofer back through the center of the cardioid cabinet’s woofer. Also I have not heard the VS21 but everyone I know who had it says it’s the best of the best. So deep so loud and still portable. My friend who does sound installation preferes it to the double 18 bassboss subs.

Yes indeed. Incredibly low!

I was using FBT Q118SA sub that I loved by the way. But this is on another level

​@@DJBrianRodriguesSo in your opinion is the BassBoss SSP118 MK3 better than the FBT Q118SA?

@@DJFlowtunes yes I feel like even one is probably louder then 2. They just get so low that you get that thump in your chest like when you’re at a concert. Truly insane. The FBT are great too but this is another animal.

@@DJBrianRodrigues many thanks for your reply however I have been unable to personally hear any bass boss subwoofers in a normal party setting where in I can see the true power of their products. Usually, if you go to a music store to demo them, the music store can never increase the volume to the way you would love to hear it in order to determine whether it is worth it to make such a purchase because you have to understand that their products are on the very expensive side. And if you're going to be spending that kind of money, you need to be sure that the product you are buying is what the price that you're paying for it.

@@DJFlowtunes I completely understand what your saying I my self only knew one person with bassboss but never had heard them until I purchase them. Believe me you won’t regret it. There is nothing like it on the market. Such badass products

Me to bud

They smoke the 9004-AS 100% at +/- 3db. Bass Boss BB15, DJ18S and SSP118 have the flattest curve I've seen in my 20yrs of Djing (better than even RCF). The SSP118 does slightly better the more it's pushed due to a better driver vs DJ18S which is also dope.

@@coreyfreeman6226 happy to hear that thanks for input brother 🙏🏻

@@coreyfreeman6226 It could surpass the 9004, but the tts18-II would be practically at the same level, that subwoofer sounds very good and is fucking loud

Simply because of the higher SPL and a cabinet with more bracing and punch. The DJ18 hits lower frequency’s but isn’t as loud.

I think depends on your needs and room size. DJ18S-MK3 is perfect for a one man DJ crew and will do 127db continuous which is excellent in it's self vs the average sub. while the SSP does 130db continuous on average. weight is a big factor too, 110lbs VS 125lbs for the SSP. however the SSP is smaller in size so if you can manage the 125lbs +$500 extra. it's the best deal. The biggest factor many should consider though is at 35hz the SSP is about 2db louder. At 40hz its 5db louder and falls off from there by 1db all the way to 0.5db louder than the DJ18 at 80hz. So SSP118 is a way better deal for just $500 more.

@@coreyfreeman6226 thanks for your input and confirming I’ve made the right choice 👍🏻

Without hearing an 8003. I honestly think you’d have similar sound or even louder and lower frequency for a smaller size. But may someone who’s familiar with the 8003 can chime in.

I have never compared them. Never had any QSC speakers but I doubt it can put out a similar SPL at low frequency’s.

@@DJBrianRodriguescorrect. No shot - I have a KS118 and it rarely gives you the chest rumble, these hit lower and harder by a mile

Qsc lol a joke I had them it took two of them to keep up with one elite 18 yorkville sub

It’s amazing indeed brother! Well worth the investment

Yup you right about that they pricey as hell but I never hate on anyone if I ever come across that kind of money I may try and get me two but until then I’ll stick with my regular sub brands!🫡

$3999

Everywhere!

@DJBrianRodrigues Agreed!!!

Hahah I’m sorry but that was funny 😆. You’ll need a few Yorkvilles to do what this sub does at 30hz. Yorkville are loud but not low, and they put out a lot of distortion.

I own one yorkville elite sub and he is right bassboss is on another level

​@@roymoxley2587 how does the ssp118 compare against the yorkville es21p?

@@DJBrianRodrigues How does the ssp118 compare against the yorkville es21p?

@@jack3400 I would confidently pick my sub stills. Smaller and is tuned to hit low note with high spl. Yorkvillers are tuned loud at 60-80 hzs where it’s not real bassy but that’s my opinion I could be wrong. If you have one locally I’d be willing to do a showdown

So I can see your not familiar with speakers by what you just said. That DB S118R is 3200watts peak 1600 Rms. Bassboss is 2500 watts rms. For every octave you go down in music you need a doubling in power to be able to achieve the same spl. Bassboss measures their speakers at realistic frequency’s. And the max measured SPL for this speakers is 136 db but at subwoofer like frequency’s. That db technology subwoofer you just mentioned does 32hz at -10db which is actually a funny way of measuring speakers. I bet you it makes 139 spl at 120hz. How do you know at what frequency the spl was measured? I can almost guarantee you the bassboss will smoke that subwoofer. Bassboss measures their sub at subwoofer range 30hz. Which is that bass you feel in your gut. But if your local and have this “db technology sub” I’d be willing to do a shoot out.

@@DJBrianRodrigues Ohhh sorry, my fault. If it is 2500 "rms" you are quite right :) It would be great to shoout out but I'm far away.

Boy your dumb!,, so you believe this speaker is 5000w peak! All of bass bosses specs are blown out of proportion. The damn company doesn’t make any of its own components!! @@DJBrianRodrigues

You’re wrong, it’s a 2500 watt RMS amplifier.

@@DJBrianRodrigues no its not the speaker would be blown up at 2500 watts rms.

@@xkurtknox I’m not sure your familiar with Bassboss and their products, but I would do some research before making dull comments. Bassboss does not measure their speakers in peak wattage and they don’t put out fake numbers. That’s why you pay what you pay for them.

@@DJBrianRodrigues currently there is no speaker on the market that can handle 2500 watts rms. especially noz when placed in such a small cabinet. not even l'acoustics or any other high end manufacturer has a speaker that handles such high watts. its pretty obvious that bassboss is giving wrong specs about their product. i would say you should do some research on speaker cabinet design and measurements. also you should do some researsch on class d amplification and how much power really comes out of a class d amplifier and for how long it can provide that power.

​@@xkurtknox Your concerns are noted and it seems you want to ensure that people are not mislead by inaccurate information. People should appreciate that! In order for everyone to understand better, maybe it would be helpful to provide a little more perspective on the specifications and the difference between amplifier power output ratings and woofer power handling ratings. Amplifiers are rated in Watts but they are actually Voltage amplifiers. The Watts are calculated based upon the voltage through a given impedance. 100 Volts into 4 Ohms results in 2500 Watts consumed. The point is, the amplifier is rated based upon what it CAN do, not based upon what it will be doing all the time. The amplifier CAN deliver 100 Volts into 4 Ohms continuously. That is the point of the rating. The load that a loudspeaker presents to an amplifier varies with frequency, and at most frequencies the impedance is well above the nominal impedance. Therefor even if the amp is delivering 100V, it isn't necessarily delivering 2500 Watts when the load impedance is higher than 4 Ohms. A 4-Ohm nominal woofer may present a load that varies between 3.5 Ohms and 50 Ohms through its operating range. 100V into 50 Ohms results in only 200 Watts. Woofers are rated differently from amplifiers. Woofer power handling ratings are given as indications of how much amplification is appropriate to use to power them. Here is an example of a woofer that has a power-handling rating of 3400 Watts: www.bcspeakers.com/en/products/lf-driver/18-0/4/18ds115-4 A woofer's power handling characteristics are specified for operation over a range of frequencies, typically from their resonance frequency to 10x their resonance frequency. At certain frequencies, the woofer would suffer a thermal failure after a few moments of 100 Volts input. At other frequencies, the woofer would reach maximum excursion at 100 Volts of input. Even a woofer with a 3400 Watt power handling rating could be destroyed by a 100V input at certain frequencies. But that doesn't mean that the woofer should only be powered by an amplifier that has insufficient power to cause it damage as that would waste a great deal of output capacity. Bottom line, yes, an amplifier capable of 2500 Watts of continuous output could destroy a woofer rated for 3400 Watts of input power handling if the system were poorly designed or poorly controlled. On the other hand, an amplifier capable of 2500 Watts of continuous output could be used very reliably and very effectively in conjunction with a woofer rated to handle 3400 Watts of input power. When the system is designed as a package, with the appropriate crossover filters and limiters included in the processing, having what amounts to 2500 Watts, specifically 100 Volts, of available power allows the system to deliver as much output as possible while the built-in processing protects the woofer from damage that could occur if too much power were applied for too long at frequencies at which the woofer would be susceptible to thermal or excursion damage. Thanks!

The weight is pretty similar to other high end 18in subwoofers. Bassboss is all about concentrating a lot into a smaller form factor. You’d need 2 or 3 of another company to be able to output what this subwoofers does specially at lower frequencies.

Unfortunately unless you own it or you have heard it in person Bassboss is at a different level. I own the dv12 and bb15. It’s expensive because it’s doing what two or three cabinets do. Bassboss is a game changer.

@@lamobilemusic1146 they are incredible

Yes if you want bass this is it for real for those who want to buy the junk go ahead

@@DJBrianRodriguesthe bassos dj18 get lower?

Nothing like bassboss brother 👍🏻

@@DJBrianRodrigues totally!!👍👍

For the price I doubt there is a better 18in sub out there.
