What is, in essence, the difference between this subwoofer--VRX918S "flying"--and the JBL SRX918S ?
Asked by: Christian
The JBL SRX918S 18" Powered Subwoofer is a self powered live sound subwoofer and cannot be fly-able for array deployment. The JBL VRX918S 18" High-Powered Flying Subwoofer is a passive subwoofer, a separate amplifier is required to power it and it can be suspended from an array .

Asked by: Joshua
JBL VRX900 series units like the JBL VRX918SP 18" Powered Flying Subwoofer use passive convection cooling and no fans are installed inside of these speakers.

Does this come with any brackets need to fly these subs?
Asked by: Julia
No, brackets are not included with the sub. The JBL VRX-AR-II Array Frame (B&H # JBVRXAFII) is the optional suspension frame for the VRX918SP. The system includes the center frame, two side arms, four quick-release pins, two drop levers, and a pair of 3/8" shackles.
