Massive groove attacks require a robust subwoofer that can produce low-end frequencies with enough power and headroom to rock the house without distortion, mud or flabby sound. The Harbinger VARI Live VS18—which, not surprisingly, seamlessly partners with Harbinger’s V2408, V2410, V3412 and V3415 speakers—can lower the boom, rock the bass and start a rumble on the dance floor with spectacular clarity and unbeatable impact.

2,400 Watts of Peak Class-D Power Output

The VS18 has a built-in Class-D amplifier that delivers 2,400 (peak) watts of clean power for a maximum SPL output of 134dB. That’s a lot of headroom, so the VS18 can deliver clean bass without audible distortion or other gig-terminating sonic gremlins. To help protect the speaker when the bass is really pumping, the VS18 has clip LEDs for each input to guard against raging signal levels, and front- and rear-mounted limiter LEDs that let you know when maximum volume has been attained.

Roll and Rock

Most subwoofers are feared by working bands and DJs, because transporting a speaker that feels as heavy as a Ford F-150 Lightning with its wheels missing is no fun at all. Happily, the VS18’s 86-lb. heft can be wheeled right into venues, thanks to its easy-roll locking casters. In addition, the cabinet’s integrated handles make it less of a chore to carry the VS18 out of SUVs (or trucks) and onto stages. Even better, you won’t have to suffer through the agony of “disappearing band members” when you ask for help loading the VS18 in and out of venues.
