Thunder-KMT218
Just like the other subwoofers in the Thunder line, the Thunder-KMT218 is much more than a standard dual 18” powered subwoofer.
This smart sub has an onboard Class D amplifier that delivers 2 x 2400 W at 4Ω with one of the two amplifying channels aimed at the sub while the other feeds a speakOn output connector to create many different speaker configurations, including single mid-high modules, multiple line arrays, or the passive version of an additional bass module.

Unique Performance-to-Size Ratio
Produces an impressive high-power performance by producing a high SPL from a small frame.
Four-Corner Port Configuration
The unique four-corner port configuration provides symmetrical back loading to the speakers, for extended bass response with very low distortion.
Color Customizable
We have the ability to customize your project by color matching your system to any RAL code to help you to better integrate the speakers into a wide variety of venues.
Weather Resistant
We utilize the most durable and resistant materials when developing our products to protect and conserve the system regardless of the elements, rendering a K-array installation reliable and long-lasting.
Technology
Integrated DSP
Built-in DSP allows for fine tuning of every single sonic parameter of the loudspeaker, providing the sound engineer the highest control on overall performance and fine granularity in system configuration.

Dante Compatible
With the dedicated K-dante accessory, this solution can be integrated into a Dante network making it interoperable with other devices.
Self-Powered Capabilities
Our self-powered solutions prevent distortion from cumbersome and fragile passive crossovers and power loss due to long running cables, and offer plenty of advantages ranging from the compactness of the solution to the ease of integration with new and existing sound systems.
Onboard Touch Screen
An integrated touch screen provides intuitive control over the main DSP functions, from signal routing to level and delay settings.
