- QSC ks118 vs BASSBOSS SSP118 I tested both speakers at the same levels of output , in my opinion I think that QSC sounded good with most tracks, on the other hand I think BASSBOSS is lacking the punch in the 80 to 110 Hz but have a very good low end from 30 to 65 Hz.
The bassboss sounds much cleaner and more balanced and musical to me. Another thing, when running two QSC adjacent to each other you get coupling which will produce additional loudness.
thank you for your review! no one else made this comparison......just what I was looking for. Thank you brother.
Good review/comparison on the two.
I have seen the marketing video that makes this claim, doesn't mention QSC specifically. It says most, which means there can be exceptions.
But still your paying approximately $500 more for the dual QSC, additional space, and time needed to stup. If this is not an issue, or you think the sound is worth it... Then of course do what will not only make you (anyone reading) happier but will also be an investment in your business (make you more money).
Now, the other issue is music. Different music requires different requirements from their speakers. So, no one speaker or brand with be the cure all for every DJ or event.
Also, how speakers sound in a house with sheetrock and low ceilings, furniture, etc vs a warehouse, club or other venue is completely different. Make sure to listen to speakers in a similar environment before purchasing, or you can end up with a few thousand dollars worth of a surprise! 🤔
I have two of the bassebosse Dj18,s and two QSC12.2 and they sound absolutely amazing unfortunately the QSC12.2 can't keep up with the subwoofers dj18s.
I believe I will have to buy another pair of QSC12.2 to be able to get the max of my subwoofers but means more work if interested I sell the QSC12.2 and just get the bassebosse DV12,s
Expensive equipment but worth buying..
Great review brother thanks..
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 that’s right 😊
I just got another BASSBOSS ssp118 more reviews to come about it, I am breaking it in 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
When!?!?!
Bassboss subs are tuned lower. They produce a different kind of bass that gets into walls and spaces unlike others. Once you get used to that type of bass, you will not want anything else. Most other subs are tuned to accentuate the 60-100Hz region of the spectrum and may sound “louder” but that missing lower area is a difference maker. That is why you have multiples of other subs to get lower. Give the SSP118 any day of the week.
Multiple of those other subs will not go lower; they’ll only get louder. It takes coupling from a certain type of sub (horn types) to couple and go lower with more units.
That being said… I’d take the BassBoss over all the others 10 out-of 10 times, any day of the week…
well in my case i runs a mono Alesis Compressor to my ks118 and its a beast not forgetting my BBE 282ix maximizer
It your box is not tuned to reproduce 30 hz all you are doing is amplifying what your box is tuned to.
👍 most people are very ignorant and talk bad about bassboss...👍😉👍 bassboos all day... then aging QSC are not bad speakers...
This had to be a slaughter… BassBoss FTW 🙌
Thanks for the comparison brother. Those are both top of the line weapons to have in a DJ’s arsenal✊🏽🔊🔊
Greatest comparison: l really thought, BASSBOSS would Blow the QSC - not so QSC 118 Rocks , Especially if you’re playing Them together. Excellent Comparison 🔥 🔥🔥
It does. This isn’t even a proper comparison test. They are not home theater subs. They are pa subs.
I have a pair of BASSBOSS ssp118's and YES they will and DO SOUND BETTER......how do I know???? I compared them side by side my two against 4 QSC subs and my BASSBOSS subs stomped all over them.
Thank you for the comparison DJ
Hey everyone after owning these 2 ssp118 for a few months,the verdict is out BASSBOSS ssp118 is definitely a winner by far, I can turn them all the way up without the clipping lights coming on . These bad boys turned in to a monster with the gain turned all the way up on the amplifier.
I just bought a pair of the ssp118 mk3 and testing them out another video is coming soon
@@nice47able Can this bassboss ssp118 pair with QSC k12.2 ?
i can hear this man talk all day about subs
Thanks for for sharing bro I got 4 QSC tops pair of .2’s and a couple k12’s presently use 2 yorkville’s 801p to get the bass I want but sometimes u need a smaller box for tighter spaces so great review 🇹🇹✌🏼
You will not be disappointed with BASSBOSS the speaker is a BNC with a Powersoft Amp

@@nice47able … wow something told me they may be using B&C woofers I wonder wich ones lol
To tell you the truth I don’t know, I spoke to David when I went to a BASSBOSS show in Brooklyn Ny in 2021 and he had told me what was inside the box.
@@nice47able I’m actually about to call B&C to see which woofers I can replace and put in my Yorkville Ls1208’s because I have some big sound gigs coming up!
At this point it is all about preference and your knowledge on how sound waves work. I prefer Yorkville ES18p or the Yorkville ES21p. Using a dbx drive rack pa2 you can really make the subs come to life. It also depends on how much you can afford.
Have you personally heard bassboss subs?
@@GetBusy-b3z yes. The built quality is the best, and the sub can go even lower than the Yorkville the only problem is the price and the db is a lot lower than the Yorkville. The Yorkvilles are monsters subs at a really good price
@@Emvkazama In terms of clarity and overall musicality, how would the ssp118 and vs21 compare to the es21p ?
I have heard the es21p and find it to be very muddy. Havent gotten a chance to listen to ssp118 or VS21
@@GetBusy-b3z not so big. I will recommend for you to listen to them personally. Every one has different preferences. What ever you like the most and you can afford should be your choice. I used to love qsc and I replaced them for what I like.
Dope stuff 👍
Try turning that gain all the way to the max on Bassboss. I have issues with QSC tops using Bassboss subs and definitely there is a difference. I would guess the QSC has more delay due to the fir filtering. But Bassboss goes lower and the lower frequency requires more power. Just depends on your preference not trying to knock on QSC, they are good speakers for the buck.
I have tried turning up the gain all the way on Bassboss ssp118 and definitely the K12.2 are lagging behind to solved that I had to fill in with my Bose l1 system but that is for another video…. Like and subscribe for another video
FIR filters are not or shouldn’t be used on subwoofers.
Aaron what I am saying is that QSC is not bad but it is lacking on the lower frequencies, with some songs you can definitely tell how soon it rolled off but it is still not a bad speaker
@@nice47able i don’t think I’ve ever heard anybody say the qsc is bad. The BASSBOSS is better in both spl and frequency response. Two QSC does equal 1 ssp218. If I were looking to bring the same experience that every other mobile DJ has I would get the QSC. But I would think the better business decision would be to bring a better experience that nobody has experienced before. Imho. 🙂 their bb15 is on par with the QSC single 18s. Imho QSC is better than the JBL, EV, Peavey equivalent. BASSBOSS is the next step up from that level of gear. Compare a Meyer Sound single 18 performance and price to a ssp118 and you’ll need surgery to put your jaw back together because it would hit the floor so hard. Haha. 🙂
@@nice47able I would just run two 12” tops over each bassboss that should do it!
Bassboss did sound louder, BUT the clarity that the QSC 118 had sounded amazing. It’s like the k12.2s went together with them like a pb&j sandwich lol (and I was wearing headphones) but I think for the crazy price bassboss has I’m going to save my money and go for the ks118s. Thank you for a great and honest review djtotalniceness 👍🏽
Bass boss is louder and deeper and can be turned up all the way I had it half way up on the other hand if you turn the QSC pass 1: o’clock position the red clip light will come on 😢 no so on the bassboss

Ya get what ya pay for. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also, the QSC sounded clearer because the BASSBOSS was loud enough to clip the microphone on the device recording the video. The QSC didn’t have enough gas to do that so it sounded “cleaner”.
@@sonicsound84 okay so I’m not saying your wrong, personally I haven’t heard a bassboss in person but I do believe they are very powerful and potentially loud. But you also have to take into consideration not everyone has the money for bassbosses. If you can still have a nice sounding system and stil in your budget why not 🤷🏽♂️😁
Nice test
I was looking for something like this comparison. SSP118 versus the V21 is where I'm at.
I have 2x VS21 and they are SERIOUS!!!! I plan on getting more VS21s!
He is right. This is definitely his opinion. Nothing objective about this in home test of PA subwoofers.
The Bassboss more deeper bass
You have to align your double subs. Both of them sitting side by side are not a going to make much difference. Also, I understand that doubling the power is only going to give you another 1 or 2 dbs

(Bookmarks for side to side comparison)
Thank you so much for the comparison. I have the KS118 and I’m wondering if I should bother upgrading or not.
Qsc is not bad goes down to 40 hz - 6 db BASSBOSS goes down to 30 hz +\- 3 db which
Hi, kindly! Bless my ministry with those other speakers for outreach missions.
QSC is under power if you have to drive higher than unity. QSC is a great kick woofer not a subwoofer.
❤❤❤
You can buy 4 QSC for the price of one BassBoss.
Qsc cost $2k BASSBOSS cost $3495.00
Great video, but does anyone compare the yorkville to bass boss etc…
I haven’t had the opportunity because I don’t owned any Yorkville speakers
@@nice47able i have yorkville and they are awesome.
You should use Bassboss with a dv12 that was meant for it ,not a Qsc. I tested that Qsc ,can not handle long run 12 hrs. If you play them open field Qsc heated so fast.
the answe is RCF tops. Best i've used and i own alot
How did you connect the subwoofer only to the booth monitor. WOW I had never thought of using that knob only to control the SUB ?
Yes that is correct
Yeah that was clever to do that.
Hi this is very useful info. I wanted ask, with the RX3 do you add another mixer or you connect straight to the speakers? I am wanting to upgrade my set without an external mixer
@@goldteethtv71 You really don’t need an external mixer
@@nice47able thanks🤛🏾🤛🏾🤛🏾
Would you say that 1 KS118 versus 1 SSP118, the SSP still has enough punch? I'm considering upgrading VRX918SPs to SSP118s.
Yes, 1 SSP still have more punch than 1 QSC ks118….The SSP have a bass that is much lower, to describe it is like hearing a car audio with 2 x15 subs from a distance coming towards you with that low humming bass.
@@nice47able Thanks so much, am about to buy a pair for smaller events.
Bass Boss is better than QSC
Test them outdoor not in your indoor house and blast them , you will see the difference. QSC sub 3600W with a 2000W Bassboss. Compare Bassboss using Bassboss speakers .
Qsc is 3600 peak BASSBOSS is 2400 rms . When I did the test BASSBOSS SSP 118 was not at the 0db It was at -12 db qsc ks118 was at 0 db , when I put the ssp118 at 0 db it killed the Qsc ks 118
so i listened on a proper sub and it did however sound like 1xBassboss is almost equal to two QSC18s here alby this is not true due to cone area and sound dispersion.
Two QSC is louder in the upper frequencies; however BASSBOSS goes lower than both QSC put together when the recorded materials are present for the lower frequencies
@@nice47able exactly and 2x18s will always be better overall only thing here is price but meh 😅
👍🏼
It’s too bad you couldn’t compare these two to the Yamaha DXS 18 - XLF. People say it sounds at least as good as the KS118, but using half the power.
not ture. deep bass requires power period. for me it's BassBoss DJ18-MK3 which goes even lower than the SSP118, then QSC KS118 used as a pair
Where is your versus video for dv12mk3 vs your qsc tops?
I don’t have a video of them , however the Qsc tops are no match for the BASSBOSS tops
Hey boss, hope all is good. The QSC subs look different. The one on the left appears wider. Are they different generations?
The single BASSBOSS is wider than the QSC
@@nice47able asking about the QSC subs not the Bassboss. Is it the camera angle making them appear to be different sizes?
The 2 Qsc are the same size
@@nice47able cool. Must be the camera angle. I was just wondering. Thanks
Does the bassboss throw the bass far compared the qsc? I have heard from people that the bassboss does not throw the bass.
BASSBOSS throws the bass very far I have one of my neighbor on the other street of me complaining how my bass is shaking her windows I wish I can post the video of her banging my front door for me to turn my bass down
great review but i think i get pass qsc ks118 manufacturer spl and bass from their amp but in my custom made Martin audio Ws18 bass reflex box that i built this beast is loud popo was at my house lastnight and i chase them like get da F😂😂😂
What’s the name of the song??
Song name please 🙏
BassBoss DJ18-MK3 gets even lower than SSP118 and $500 cheaper
Are you Liberian?
No !!
Hi, do you think that an eq boost around 80 to 100 hz, could make the bassboss as punchy and clean as the qsc, but to still have the deep bass?
Bassboss does not recommend any eq boost I have tried using some eq boost but all you are doing is sending a hotter signal to the amp
How much does either one cost?
Check with Bassboss and QSC website respectfully the will hav an updated price
$3500 a piece for the bassboss ssp’s
I bought one yorkville 18 sub it kicked both qsc’s in there ass
You don’t know if it would kick the bassboss ass , because cerwin vega el36dp already kicked Yorkville 18” ass .
@@djgazaaka5000 I never said a word about bassboss or the cerwin Vega el36dp I had 2 Qsc kw 181 and they could not produce as much as one yorkville 18 elite . I do know for a fact that the el36 jr earthquakes we had in a club that I worked for 10 years will not even push as hard as the yorkville and yes the amp we were using on the earthquakes were plenty of power .The woofers in those cabinets are shit as I had to replace one in 10 years time frame.
@@roymoxley2587 ok okay,but just saying the powered el36dp push hard then the Yorkville .
I am challenging BassBoss to run 4 Double 18" vs 4 of my Double 18" from Zann Enclosure. Guarantee I'll win
Lol
