The time to load my 1850 horns is rapidly approaching, however I can't decide between these 2 drivers. I've only heard them loaded with 1850's playing electro, house etc and they sounded very good......the spl outdoors was awesome, even at a considerable distance from a stack of just 4.......The events I tend to cater for are more along the lines of dnb and dubstep. Am I right in thinking that they'll drop lower with the v18? I'd still like to maintain the kick that i've heard from the 1850 loaded bins, but it's very hard to decide having never heard a v18 1000 in an 1850 horn.

Having heard both combos in 4x 1850 cabs i would definatly recomend the pd driver, sounded much clearer with less of a grunty honk noise. Think you'l struggle in general with the 1850's for dub or dubstep tho,  at least both the void and the pd can be used in 'proper sub' cabs tho ie scoops or x1s!

Really.....many people seem to think that the v18 1000 is a better alternative to the 1850.......although this may be related to an increase in spl.

yo - i use v18 -1000 in my 1850 horns, and they do drop lower and sound a little warmer than the 1850's. the 1850's are obviously great, but sound quite hard'n'harsh. the v18-1000 also have very high spl when using lower power levels, whereas with the 1850, you need lots of power to achieve their potential.
