The Peavey Versarray 118 Sub is a high-performance passive subwoofer designed for demanding professional audio applications, including touring sound systems and permanent installations. Featuring Peavey's exclusive Lo Max® 18-inch woofer, it delivers powerful low-frequency output, impressive bass extension, and high sound pressure levels in a compact enclosure.

With a power handling capacity of 1,200 watts continuous, 2,400 watts program, and 4,800 watts peak, the Versarray 118 Sub is engineered to provide strong, clean bass reproduction. Its vented enclosure is tuned to 35 Hz and designed with a large vent area and extended airflow path to support efficient low-frequency performance.

The cabinet is constructed from premium 13-ply Baltic birch plywood and incorporates extensive internal bracing to withstand the high internal air pressures generated by the powerful woofer. The Lo Max’s driver features a Kevlar-impregnated cone, polyimide-impregnated fiberglass former, die-cast aluminum frame, and 4-inch edge-wound voice coil for strength, sensitivity, and controlled performance.
