Great video and congrats on your purchase. I was looking at getting a pair of ks118’s, but found the LD Icoa 18’s last minute which are (imo) similar in volume, but seem to hit lower. I ended up getting a set for $1900 shipped. Best JB!
Honestly you really can’t compare the two, specs alone the qsc packs about 50% more peak power and 3db higher peak, certainly it hits slightly higher but keep in mind beyond the fact that it is a on paper larger sub, the warranty also has value. If the LD’s work for you great! I personally dont like to push my gear super hard unlessits a really large gig a few times a year and these subs shake my eyeballs while djing
Thanks for the video! I came close to getting these but I ended up getting 2 KS212C primarly due to size. And the Cardioid caught me off guard too the first time I used them.
I believe I saw the regular KS112's at the expo, definately a much smaller format but imo didn't go deep enough to make it worth bringing a sub or paying for one for a 12 inch. I'm sure the cardiod is very pronounced on those since its within the cabinet.
I'm curious if the QSC KS 118 is the best sub-bass up to 50 kg? JBL srx 818p or the identical model srx918 and Yamaha dxs 18 XLF. I wonder who actually wins.
Well I only know the weight in freedoms 🦅, but I am personally not a fan of JBL I had a prx something years ago and it was heavy and did well but not great output. I haven't been impressed with yamaha I wouldn't even consider the comparison, I will say the KS118 puts out a whole lot of bass for around 100lbs and is easy for me a smaller guy to move on my own
Hi bud. I'm planning to buy a pair of QSC K 10.2 tops to use in a 40 sq. meter space, mostly for personal use but I might throw the occasional party for 20 people max. Will this pair well with the K 10.2 or it would it be overkill? Also do you think one sub would be enough for such a moderate size space or should I go for a pair of KS112 instead? Thank you so much in advance 🙏
how do you bypass the crossover to use an external crossover? and qsc won't tell what filters and slopes are being forced to used? needing a way to turn off that internal crossover?
I agree as mentioned in the video I would like to be able to disable crossover, but you can do this by running through your top speakers first then out to the subs, if I am understanding correctly what you are asking
What is factory processing? Is that full range with no filters meaning crossover completely out? That's what I need. Are you saying the crossover only kicks in from the output or thru jacks? Junk qsc should just have the option to turn off the crossover like in the k12.2.
The subwoofer is good, but it breaks down very often. Mine has already been in for repairs three times in two years. The problem is always with the power supply. It's a very unreliable product.
Been running mine for 9 months now haven’t had any issues if its issues with the power supply the amp may have a defect but I would be surprised if they hadnt figured it out yet
Okay, we get it. You have made it your mission to go to every KS118 review and say exactly the same thing, like you know something no one else does. Well, KS118s are in service without issues everywhere. Maybe you were rough on yours, who knows. My band has had them since they came out, without an issue. If you hate them so much, why are you watching the videos?

Yes the ld systems subwoofer 18 icoa is no joke

Compared to BassBoss 15 or SPP18?
If I said 15 in the video then bb15 version 3 I believe

More then enough. Only need one sub and 8.2 tops for the size and number of people.

Not exactly. I'm looking to highs from my driverack and lows from my driverack with all internal processing disabled/ off.
@@FreeKeenan If you send a clean signal in, it would only apply factory processing I believe
