Pros
This speaker is well received for being loud and punchy, as expected with its dual 18" woofer design. But it's not just about being loud, because there are many who describe it as having a clear bass sound that's great for kick drums, bass guitar and more - even when at high volume levels. Value for money is also mentioned in reviews, along with its solid build quality.

Cons
Bulk and weight seem to be a minor gripe for a few users. In line with that, there are a few who are not happy with where the carrying handles are positioned.

Overall
If you're looking for a budget friendly passive sub-woofer that can move lots of air, then the Yamaha SW218V is ideal for you.
