PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The MSE-118 Quake is a high power, true horn-loaded subwoofer, designed for the ultimate in low frequency
performance. By matching the utmost in drive unit technology with tireless research into the development of horn
technology, Quake produces phenomenal performance from an enclosure housing only a single 18” drive unit.
The substantial enclosure houses a single proprietary 18” (457mm) drive unit with a 5” (127mm) voice coil. A
radically shaped dustcap adds to the cone’s structural integrity, whilst a dual-suspension system ensures that the
moving structure maintains in pure-piston motion even whilst experiencing the high pressure levels found in the
horn throat. This drive unit is loaded onto a horn nearly 9’ (2743mm) in length, to provide unprecedented depth
and power from a single drive unit enclosure.
Quake was designed to be equally at home either installed or on the road, and as such has been optimally sized
for truck packing in both height and width. Interlocking nylon feet on the sides of the enclosure prevent stacks of
Quakes from moving around, as well as protecting the paint finish. Eight heavy-duty steel bar handles allow ease
of movement in any orientation, and the addition of four tour-grade castors on the rear make load in simpler and
easier. There is also an optional four-Quake dolly board available, to allow enclosures to be moved around in
stacks of four, ready for use.
Quake is also ready to accept the revolutionary new DA-1 power amplifier module, to provide the utmost in self-
contained subwoofer solutions.
