Elite Series Passive Subwoofer - 18 inch Woofer  - 1400 Watts
 This product is no longer available.
The LS608 incorporates efficient quasi-horn loading on its 1400-Watt 18" driver to combine the best of both worlds - smooth, deep, powerful bass and remarkable compactness. Suitable for touring or fixed installations, the cabinet is constructed of 15mm 11-ply Baltic Birch with heavy internal bracing for reduced resonance and better durability, all covered in rugged black carpeting. An optional finish of black ultrathane paint (LS608B) is also available. Hardware includes metal corner protectors and a heavy-gauge metal grille. Amp hook-ups and sub inter-connections are made simple with parallel pairs of 1/4" and Speakon.connectors. Additionally, the Speakons are regulated by a configuration switch which allows instant reversal of the pinouts for easy single-wire hook-up using optional four-wire Speakon cables.

The LS608 and LS808 include flush, top-mounted stand adapters so that optional speaker poles may be used to mount full range enclosures above - avoiding the need for separate tripod stands. The LS608 and LS808 both feature dual, side-mounted, inset carry handles making it easier for two people to carry them. The LS808, LS1004 and LS1208 have tilt-back wheels and top/rear mounted corner handles for better maneuverability and stacking.

I use the LS608 with a pair of E10's and it sounds awesome. I have been powering it with a 1600 watt amp for 2 years and it has never missed a beat, it pounds so hard it moves across the floor all night. Currently it has over 500 hours of use and sounds as good as the day I bought it. The LS608 and my E10's and 2 amps all fit nicely in the back of my Audi wagon and it all makes for a perfect mobile rig. Get the LS608 and give it more than 1200 watts of clean power and you will not be disappointed. All my clients are always impressed with the quality of the sound.

Tight punchy bass, never sounds flabby. Super efficien t and unbelieveably loud for a box this size, the smallest 18" box yorkville makes. One LS608 was easily louder than the 2 Yamaha Clubs. Yorkville underrates this box, I've fed double the rated power to it for hours on end and it holds up great and doesn't ever fart out. I was going to buy another but one supplies enough bass to back up 2 12" tops nicely. 60% more efficient than the YX118S.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
