Members djr Posted August 18, 2010 Members Share Posted August 18, 2010 Hey all , anyone have an experience with the JBL MP418S subs ? I can pick up a pair for about $450 I've never heard them so I don't know , Gonna use then for a 3 piece classic to newer rock , Small to mid size clubs Don't need to be ungodly loud but would like them to have a good punch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted August 18, 2010 Members Share Posted August 18, 2010 Great subs if they have original drivers. Stock units were 4 ohm, so size your amp correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Starboard Posted August 18, 2010 Members Share Posted August 18, 2010 I have 4 of them with a pair of SRX722's and I love them. I use 2 Crown MT2400'S on the low end -- one sub per amp channel = 800w per box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use 2 Crown MT2400'S on the low end -- one sub per amp channel = 800w per box. I have 4 as well and love them. I power them with a Lab Gruppen FP3400 and give them about the same (2ohm stereo).

Members djr Posted August 18, 2010 Author Members Share Posted August 18, 2010 What about the price? A good deal @ $450 for the pair ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soul-x Posted August 18, 2010 Members Share Posted August 18, 2010 What about the price? A good deal @ $450 for the pair ? Excellent deal if in good condition with original drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members flanc Posted August 18, 2010 Members Share Posted August 18, 2010 What about the price? A good deal @ $450 for the pair ? That would be a fantastic deal...you'd be lucky to get a pair of those drivers reconed at that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TimmyP Posted August 19, 2010 Members Share Posted August 19, 2010 I believe that - except for the impedance - it's the same as 1/2 of a 4719X. A decent box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members musicman330 Posted August 19, 2010 Members Share Posted August 19, 2010 Yes I have 4 as well. They rock hard for the size and love the weight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soul-x Posted August 19, 2010 Members Share Posted August 19, 2010 I believe that - except for the impedance - it's the same as 1/2 of a 4719X. A decent box. Nope. Slightly smaller box with a bit less extension than the SRX models (with the 4718 still being less than half of a 4719). Same basic driver though. On the plus side it's like 25 lbs less than a 4718.

Members Chris K Posted August 19, 2010 Members Share Posted August 19, 2010 I have two MP418S subs and they work great for me.They are not to large and not too heavy. I drive them with a Crown XLS 602 (600w @ 4ohm). $450 is a great deal. I got mine for $600 for a pair and I thought that was a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members witesol Posted August 19, 2010 Members Share Posted August 19, 2010 yea, those are nice subs, especially at that price. I have 4 4718x subs driven with an RMX4050hd. same drivers I believe. prefer single subs configured however I need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members musicman330 Posted August 20, 2010 Members Share Posted August 20, 2010 Yes depending on the room/stage with 4 singles I can stack them or go side by side. I use them just as a single pair great results most rooms and I can add the others in the center as a sub cluster as well. Even putting the singers monitor there. Or they jump on and sing!!

Members djr Posted August 26, 2010 Author Members Share Posted August 26, 2010 Ok all thanks , I pulled the trigger on them here's the deal i got 2 mp418s(orig speaker in good shape ) and 3 mp212's but 2 of the 3 12's are shot but all 3 HF drivers work all in really good shape all for $500 I think I did pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted August 26, 2010 Members Share Posted August 26, 2010 Note that the MP-200 series tops are not in the same catagoty as the MP-400 series. The deal sounds good, but the cost of the replacement 12's might be a bit higher than you expect. The damage comes from folks powering them as recommended but without the proper high pass filter which is around 70Hz. With a lower HPF, the real world power handling falls off rapidly. Like by 1/2 even. I might have some drivers that would work as well or better than the originals for less than the oem parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
