User Reviews:
Feature:
OK, so it’s powered. That makes it easier to hook up. And it has direct inputs, and EQ. eh!
Quality:
Well made internally. Stupidest design on the planet.
Value:
There’s better stuff out there for better money. Do your homework.
Desirability:
Again, it’s clumsy, and the exterior is poorly designed.
Sound:
If you bother to hear this against other product out there, you would find that this speaker system does not really sound all that good. I compared my G2 15″ powered eons to JBL MR925′s and even a cheapo Carvin PA cabinet. The MR925 sounded better, and the Carvin sounded better than either. I have since dumped them, and haven’t looked back!!
Ease of Use:
Plug and play.
Support:
You can usually get a tech on the phone.
Overall:
I dumped mine. Go compare, and you’ll dump yours too.

The PRX718S is a powered, direct radiating subwoofer system comparable in performance to the VRX918SP. With a pole receptacle (that accepts a SS3-BK) on the top panel and integrated stereo pass-thru, with selectable HP filter, this is the most powerful complement to the PRX full-range systems. Configured with a PRX512M or PRX515; the result is a transportable, high performance sub-satellite system. The addition of a polarity reverse option further enables system optimization.

The Electro-Voice SbA760 is a new generation of hi-power compact subwoofers. Designed to match EV’s Sx-series speakers, it s an ideal system extension for SxA100, SxA250, and SxA360 powered speakers. The SbA760 adds extended low frequency response to Sx300 and Sx100+ passive speakers driven by powered mixers. The state-of-the-art class H power amplifier module delivers 760 Watts RMS power to an EVS15FR 15 woofer. The audio performance and reliability of the amplifier is derived from the famous EV Precision series amplifiers. The Patented LPN (low-pass-notch) filter compensates for transient distortion of dynamic signals and allows, in combination with the PowerMax 12 crossover filter, the SbA760 to achieve a higher acoustic output than expected from a compact cabinet that size. The SbA760 includes a recessed pole mount and four casters for easy use and mobility.

A little pricey, but well worth it to add that deep bass to your PA.

The speaker level input allows you to use these subs without a crossover. Awesome!

JBL provided me with lots of email support for my config of my PA with these subs.
