Features 

The K-18BA is a 18-inch high output processor controlled active subwoofer system designed at the DAP 
audio R&D department in the Netherlands. It can be used with other active fullrange-systems like the K- 
and P-active series to achieve more output and it features a new designed high precision 18-inch band 
pass cabinet which results in a relative small housing with "BIG" sound combined with the newest amplifier 
technology. The system is composed of a single, compact subwoofer cabinet with built in 1000 Watt RMS 
amplifier. Another feature is the built-in x-over with clip limiters for your active top speakers. 
 
The DAP Audio K-18BA is a 1000W active subwoofer with a clear transient response for a minimum 
distortion in the low frequency range, available for a very reasonable price. The sub reproduces a low 
limit frequency of 38 Hz at -3dB, the maximum SPL is 134 dB. You can use the K-18BA with a whole range 
of active 2-way speakers e.g. K-112A, K-115A etc. You can even use passive satellite speakers powered 
by an additional amplifier.
