Renkus-Heinz DRS18‐2B Non‐Powered, 1600 W Pgm @ 4 Ohms

Product Overview

The Renkus-Heinz DRS18-2B is a non-powered dual 18-inch subwoofer built to add deep, uncolored sub-bass to permanent and portable sound systems. Using a classic vented direct-radiating design with two high-excursion 18-inch woofers, this passive 18-inch subwoofer delivers the high-impact low-frequency energy that 18-inch drivers are known for. It is well suited to houses of worship, auditoriums, and multi-purpose rooms where external amplification is preferred and clean, powerful bass extension is required.

Product Description

The DRS18-2B pairs two RH model SSL18-7 18-inch cone woofers in a heavily braced 13-ply hardwood enclosure with a perforated metal grille. Rated at 1600 W program at 4 ohms, it produces up to 133 dB program and 136 dB peak SPL with frequency response extending from 32 Hz to 120 Hz. As the non-powered member of the DR/DRS18-2 family, it offers the same acoustic performance as the self-powered DR18-2B models while letting the integrator specify external amplification. Looping Neutrik 4-pin connectors or screw terminals simplify wiring in larger systems, and the cabinet ships with handles, casters, and Metric M10 universal mounting hardware for both fixed-install and portable use. Black, white, natural, custom-color, and weather-resistant finishes are available to match the venue.

How should it be amplified?
It is rated 1600 W program at 4 ohms. Pair it with a commercial-grade amplifier channel capable of driving a 4-ohm load at appropriate headroom. Contact Creation Networks for amplifier matching guidance.

Can it be used outdoors?
A weather-resistant version is available for covered outdoor and high-humidity environments. Confirm the specific finish and protection level for your application before ordering.

What loudspeakers does it pair with?
It is designed to extend the low-frequency range of any Renkus-Heinz full-range system, including C Series and T Series point-source models and steerable arrays.
