DAS Audio ACTION-S18 18" Passive Subwoofer

ACTION-S18 is a passive direct radiation subwoofer system composed of a single 18FW speaker with a 3" coil and 20 mm winding depth, double layer and sandwich to boost system power, as well as a new forced convection circuit that works to reduce the effects of coil heating, improving the system's overall performance as a result.

As part of our company culture, all our systems are developed under a single philosophy: to deliver the highest possible quality in terms of both materials and overall system design. In the ACTION-500 series we use the same birch plywood as our touring systems for a tight, natural warm sound found nowhere else on the market.

For long-term optimal performance of the ACTION-500 passive versions, the system can only be a complete sound system when rounded out with our amplifiers and processors with stored presets and limiters.
