New 2019 2000-WATT 18" POWERED SUBWOOFER" Alto Professional TS318s With DSP

[@mikesmusic1000]

I recently got a pair of alto ts318s a week ago, And the first wedding I broke them in and by listening to them is just awesome. But on the second wedding I'd turned them up and holy moly dude. On one of the light fixtures I saw the lights dim every time the kick happened on every song I played. To be honest it must of been the power draw that the subs had. Just absolutely mental on sound quality including the matching tops ts310.

Wish Alto would bring back the Alto BLK series...lost out on buying them when they were on the market...I was going with Alto but deciding to go with turbo sound...nothing but great reviews on those...yes for the price can't beat altos problem is the long haul...invest 1 time make sure it's going to last over time. . thank you island man luv your videos 😂!

I have the previous generation TS 318 sub and TS 315 and they punch fantastic! The sub gets a comment every time. I am very happy with the quality and power. Looking forward to checking these new ones now! 👍

[@KRE-64]

Great Vid as always! Super impressed by what Alto is doing. As I've stated before, I have the TS310 and the TS312 and I don't use anything else as of now. From solo shows singing to tracks to DJ'ing, they have fit the bill and then some. Will be looking into this item for future larger DJ shows. I felt while the TS315 was great, I preferred the overall sound of the 10's and 12's in this demo. Thanks for all the great vid's and info!

Hello sir, I have a question for you. How big of a crowd is suitable for a pair of ALTO TS318S topped with the ALTO TS315? Is it suitable for a crowd of 500 people? I’m looking at a live band setup in a ballroom for 500 people. Do I need additional speakers to be placed at the back of the house?

[@mohammedisaa9952]

There was a guy commenting above saying it was 300 ok..... i think i would use 4 tops, and just 2 subs in the front for the dancers..... If your putting 2 at the back, you realise you have to "time delay" them right?.......

Which is what setting?...... you tell nothing in your answer....?????? Guys.... use the 10 for 10inch drivers if those are your tops, 12 for 12 inch tops, and 15 for 15 inch tops..... The shelf will have about a 150hz high pass for your tops, so if they are loud or 18 inch tops, then use that, the alto manual will explain everything.... dont worry guys....

how do these stack up against the behrinnger b1800xp with the turbosound woofer, also when is the 15 inch 315s a better choice vs the 18 inch 318s? the b1800xp is $100 more than the 318s and I'm trying to figure out if the $100 is worth it for the b1800xp. Im going with the 12 inch alto ts312 for the tops for sure.

[@KAYBE_CO]

behringer has a better thump and kicks like crazy. The alto however sounds better but isn't as impacting as the behringer. I'd go with the alto. It is loud enough, it is comparable to the db technologies sub 18.

[@KAYBE_CO]

Please don't get the 15 it sounds good but it won't cover more than 100 people. If you want thumping bass you should save your money and buy better from the get go

[@Rzn8B58]

thanks for the reply... I ended up going with the cerwin vega cve12 and will pair with the cve18s sub. I used to own 2 passive cerwin vegas and they had such a warm sound and the cve12 reminded me why I liked cerwins in the 1st place. I only regret not listening to the altos because the shop I went to didnt have any to demo and I didn't wanna take a trip to guitar center, but I'm happy with my cve12 purchase.

[@alamakluke]

I don't know for sure as I own the RCF HD12's and not the 945A's. The 945A are rated at 135spl so I really doubt that the Alto 318's will be able to keep up. I am not saying that the Alto subs are bad subs but not the right subs to match those tops...

Lol..... 18" does 45hz lowest 15" 48hz lowest Both should have around the same xmass as im sure they both will have 2.5" coils..... Cone displacement will be different by cm squared, but not by much, also volume output will be lower on the 15's by 50watts i guess (manufacturers will "clip" the 15's to better sell their most expensive models (18's)...... Theres little in them sound wise, only in output volume..... in time, replace the driver, and bypass the plate amp for a crown amp, and all will be well.... I would buy the 15's, as these are good cabinets, and will take the power of a JL Audio speaker driver which will get you down to 15hz, and will be 2,000w rms capable over 2 coils (duel 2ohm coils, than wired in series to get 4 ohms)..... and stuff that speaker with loft insulation and sprey glue, which increases the sound quality..... also add another shelf on the bottom to increase and lower port tuning from 52hz to around 34hz...... (REW and a usb mike will prove me right)...... Good luck and enjoy your products.....

[@mohammedisaa9952]

Yes...... but listen to them first, i baught a pair of "powered speakers" and they sounded crap..... So i connected my home theatre directly to the speakers internally and they sounded really nice (well better than before) so some of these amps sound really bad...... flat.... just horrible.... but it was my fault for cutting corners and buying crap.... Really make an effort and buy the best you can afford..... buy passives and quality crown or peavey amps..... then you can replace the drivers in the cabinets for better quality when you can afford to upgrade......

With the Harbinger Vari 2312 you could start with 1 of the TS318s and add a second one when you get some extra cash saved up for bigger Job. We are going to be getting in one of two new Models from Blastking next week that may be better then TS318s for the Money. stay tuned.

[@mohammedisaa9952]

I agree.... the 12's have slighter cone area, and i think they go down to 48hz, 15's go down to 45hz, and 18's around 42hz..... The 12's will also have a weaker amp in them, so lower the 15's alittle and people wont notice...... 4 subs are great 👍🏻 and your sound will be really good for a dico....

Great reviews look forward to more content. Looking for monster subs what is your recommendation out of 1.PSA S7201 2.JTR 4000ULF 3.Monolith M215 4.SVS PB16 Will use for home theatre mostly and kids will use for music in the basement. Looking for the boomy, deep, rumble sound thanks?

[@mohammedisaa9952]

Monolith without a doubt...... the pb16's are good, but watch comparison videos... Svs (to protect their drivers) have a slope starting at 20hz, and then they begin to "roll off", whilst the mono's just let them play....... youthman? i think, did graphs of them, search the hometheatre videos..... These kinds of speakers are pure junk for HT applications, yes, at between 1 1/4 inch and 1 1/2 MDF these cabbinets are good, but HT theatre uses HDF (high density fiber board, not medium density) and comperable to thickness...... Perhaps, buy a box kit, than buy a 18" JL Audio woofer, then a crown amp, it will be near to the cost of these "cheepo subs" (which the drivers are rated lowest at 45hz before the paper cones rip at the edges) but alot cheeper than a monolith..... and far better than a pb16..... If you want the sound, but also want to save money, disco subs are not the way forward....... these are for crowds that are mainly drunk or on the pull,.... sound clarity, and how low they go is the least of their concerns..... and the guy who pays the DJ is only concerned that the music was loud enough, and the music played which made his guests happy.... this certainly isnt a CISA Expo.... 😂😂😂....

This is a banging finish for a pa subwoofer mate the style is all due to preference I'd recommend maybe a HK subwoofer they also pack a serious amount of power when setup correct and would work wonders as would this check his channel out mate I'm sure you'll find the one I'm looking atm for my pa system I'm building over time for when my mental health etc gets better eventually so have been looking for a long time and subwoofers are improving every year depending on the manufacturer you will get some choices even the size can have an impact on the output sounds from my understanding

[@Brian_P]

I've got a pair of ts212 and the horn drivers while they sounded good.. were cheap junk. Overheat and blow. I replaced with jbl horn drivers and have been very pleased. Think I paid $100 a piece for the jbls and the alto replacement were like 35 a piece. Well worth the higher price for reliability. Don't know if the current line of alto has upgraded their horn drivers or not but I do like alto overall. Bass reflex of the 12" boxes are amazing. I picked them over the 15" cabs. Recently I've moved towards Grund Audio. Made in USA completely and have been rock solid!

[@mohammedisaa9952]

Peavey also make good speakers.... As for these Altos, putting in a 35watt horn driver with a small white resistor hoping it will take 100w of music power is utterly ridicules...... Smart move buying the correct driver...... although, i think at 100 you baught the whole horn, you do realise the drivers unscreww from the horns dont you?..... 1 and 3/4 inch thread i believe, unless alto used the ultra cheepo chinease ones that are gluwd togwther, the pitzo horns instead of the dynamic metal drivers in them.... You all need to know how these speakers are built, buy propwr 1 way crossovers for your speakers, and buy some loft insulation and sprey glue the wadding into your speakers to make them sound better...... low cost, high gain, especially with crossovers and your main drivers suffering from "cone breakup"..... How can a 12 or 15 inch driver which is rated from lets say 50hz to 4k do 10,000hz ?????? When fed sound out of their range that they cant do, they try to do that anyway which ovwr time makes them go bad.... Thats why we NEED good quality CROSSOVERS in our speakers...... The powered speakers should have 2 wires to bass and 2 separate wires to horns, if they only have just 2 wires going to bass, than looped up through tiny resister to horn, then buy a crossover......... its less than 20$ and will protect your investments...... also put thicker wire in there.... atleast 2.5 to 4mm thick excluding the plastic coating..... ofc quality is great.... Stay away from copper coated aluminium speaker wires..... they are the worst ever, go find out why (their name is cca wires, and they are really cheep)...... stay away from them.... van damm cables arw best as they are 2.5mm csa (cross sectional area, or diameter of copper) and they are ofc (oxygen free copper, they are made better to carry sound, best are crystal latice aligned ofc, or even silver plated copper, but thats for audiophiles).....

Hi sir this subwoofer ts318 can use the full band music

[@mohammedisaa9952]

No..... these "disco subs" go from around 42hz up to about 350hz typically, the drive unit without the amp will do around 25 to 2,000hz if you baught a passive..... on more expensive passives they have a crossover installed which pulls them down to 350hz or thereabouts..... active subs (ones with built in amps) will have the crossover built into the amps to around the same value..... This is a bass speaker that only does bass, thats why its called a subwoofer 🙂👍🏻

I tried the DSP setting to pair with my 2 TS315 but the sound got softer/weaker than Bypass.. do I just need to crank up the gain/volume? Any help. Thank you

[@mohammedisaa9952]

Use bypass.... them 15's will take the sound...... if you want some protection for them, use the shelf mode...... all this alledged "dsp" is, is a bank of capacitors and resistors to weaken the sub to the 10 or 12 inch speakers that some will connect to it so they match..... Crap 10inch speaker, crap sound from sub....... 15inch speaker, than sub should sound good?.... perhaps bypass the plate amp, and wire the sub direct to a crown amp, maybe a 1500w amp giving 750rms to each sub....... if your only using 1 sub, then buy a 300w crown and use "bridged mode" to get around 650w to the sub.... drill hole in amp of sub, and use a 6.5inch standard jack plug socket, if you wire it right, it will disconnect the amp and allow powere straight to sub driver, dont forget to wire an "inline" crossover to help save the sub.....

Is Alto brand made or have any relationship with China's manufactories? I dont understimate China's Market and products, But there is a huge amount of forums , feedbacks and coments about the bad quality of end product when brands like Behringer opt for manufactoring in China for the elements and important material of low quality and durability. So , is Alto making his stuff in China too? Thanks

[@mohammedisaa9952]

Most proberly like most manufacturers nowadays...... Hong kong or taiwan are also typical.... manufacturers cant afford your country's pay grade, even at minimum wages...... so they pay chinease equivelent of 40cents per day wages, and they are happy with that, not knowing that, that work is worth 1,000+ × what they are paid..... "Scales of ecconomy" they call it, we call it ripping someone off who knows no better....... hence poor quality, and some "inteligent" workers not giving a crap about the products they work on....... what would you do for 40c a day wages? Its not even cost effective to turn up for work 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@arielsimmons4184]

Do you have diagram of the setup?

[@mohammedisaa9952]

It should be with your sub in the manual..... maybe qatch a few more videos, even here it was clearly explained and shown..... 😮‍💨 Mixer stereo leads to sub, than plug both speakers to sub, you cant get confused as the xlr wires only go in 1 way...... it is supposed to be idiot proof, i am hoping you dont prove them wrong....... 😞

[@mohammedisaa9952]

I personally think its a shame that these (and other brands) are labelled as "subwoofers" !!!! I mean seriously,...... they wont even go lower then 45hz, look at the speakers specs, and im talking about the 18" here..... A sunwoofer (a proper one) should at that size be able to reach into "infra-sound" ie 10hz and below..... thats what we want, and thats what a "proper" subwoofer can do.... All i can recommend is ripping out the sad drivers and put a JL Audio driver in it, but weather the plate amp will allow such low figures im not too sure? (Alot of manufacturers protect their speaker drivers by limiting how low they can go to protect the coils).... Hence you would need something like a peavey or a crown amp which will play that low.... (they do, ignore the 20hz to 20khz specs)... ultimately, all these are worth are the cabinets.... 😮‍💨 You can also buy D.I.Y Cabinets if your handy and they glue together........ I really dont see a point in these, unless its a "quick fix" to provide "some" ( and when i use the word "some" i mean minimal) bass (45hz is bad)....... Good luck with your purchase,and listen to the sound demo with "Quality" headphones and listen to how low the "sub" (😂) goes.... especially on the first track and the 15's paired....... im so sorry 😞 ..........

Disappointed with the TS318s, I'm a home DJ so the dance floor is 10x20 and one of these 1000w RMS doesn't do much to the low end. I even added a separate mixer and played around with location (corner of the room) and settings on sub and tops. The sub sounds better from behind than in front.

Cool video…. But sorry I’m a hip hop R&B dj… none of your music tells me nothing about the speaker . It just sounds loud to me…. If u want to sell that speaker… play a hip hop song that has base in it…. Something with a lot of bottom…. Not these loud songs your playing… I bought alto speakers when they first came out and literally burned the whole system out in a 4 hr party because it can’t handle hip hop rap music…..

[@expertisland]

I need to use royalty-free music so in 2019 my options were more limited than today. I now get my music from artlist. Personally, I would like to play more House music David Guetta that is my go-to for Bass but hip-hop R&B is also really good. As for your speakers, I think it was more of a case of *bringing a knife to a gunfight, you can't blame the knife* . if I'm geared for EDM, Hip-Hop, R&B, I'm always looking at doubling up on Subwoofers of a setup for just a band. for every 2 tops get 4 subwoofers rent them if you have to.
