Features

This loudspeaker system delivers 
high output, low distortion bass from 
two 18" Pro Rider woofers mounted 
in a vented enclosure. This unit is 
designed for portability. 

The enclosure 

is constructed of a hardwood panel 
coated with Peavey’s heavy-duty 
HammerHead

 UV stabilized polyurea 

finish for increased durability and 
ruggedness. 

 A full-length, wrap-around 

perforated steel grille protects the front 
of the enclosure. Casters are mounted 
to assist in portability. A pole mount is 
also included for support of a high-pass 
enclosure.
