Cinema Subwoofer
Single 18″ · Sealed · Passive · 125 dB
Description
Not every room demands the same solution.
The C18s is built for rooms where a single driver, perfectly engineered, is enough — and in most dedicated cinema rooms, it is far more than enough.
The front face
Polished Aluminium.
From baffle to edge.
The C18s front baffle is machined from a single billet of 6082-T6 aluminium — the same alloy grade used in aerospace structural components. It is hand-polished to a mirror standard through an eight-stage process, then sealed with automotive clear lacquer.
No apertures. No port holes. No visible hardware. The polished face presents one element: the driver. Every other brand at this tier has port holes, logos, or panel seams. The C18s has none of these.

Baffle specification
Performance
Reference cinema dynamics.
The C18s achieves 125dB at 1 metre with a quality 600W external amplifier. In a properly treated room with front-wall placement, in-room extension reaches approximately 21Hz — territory that most audiophile subwoofers cannot approach regardless of price.
Cabinet engineering
Built to a standard.
Not a price point.
All internal dimensions, bracing positions, and panel thicknesses are governed by acoustic engineering requirements — not manufacturing convenience.

Acoustic Performance

Passive design
Your amplifier.
Your DSP.
Your room.
In-room frequency extension figures assume front-wall placement in a treated cinema room. Boundary gain of approximately 6–8dB below 80Hz is expected in this configuration. Integrators using Trinnov Altitude, Datasat, or Dirac Live room correction can extend in-room response further through controlled parametric EQ. All measurements subject to acoustic engineer verification at prototype sign-off.
Ownership
Built for decades. Backed without conditions.
Home trial
60 days in your room
The only meaningful audition is in your own space, on your own system. The X1 arrives at your door. You listen. If after 60 days it does not belong in that room, contact us and we arrange collection. No restocking fee. No conditions. No questions that require an answer.
Warranty
Ten years. Transferable.
Full parts and labour coverage for ten years from the date of purchase. The warranty transfers to subsequent owners on private resale — register the new owner and full coverage continues. We build loudspeakers intended to last a generation. The warranty reflects that intention.
Support
Direct to the engineers
V&Y concierge support connects you directly to the people who designed the X1 — for setup, room placement, amplifier pairing, and long-term system guidance. No call centres. No support tickets. The person who answers understands the speaker from the inside.
Direct to customer
No intermediaries. Ever.
V&Y sells exclusively direct. No importers, no dealers, no showrooms. The price you see is the price you pay — worldwide shipping and all applicable duties and taxes included. Every element of the customer relationship remains with us, from order to ownership.
Finish options
Five finishes. All hand-applied. All to specification.
Each finish is applied in controlled stages. Coats are flat-sanded between applications. Every surface is inspected under raking light before the next layer is added. The cabinet clears our facility only when it meets a written surface specification — not a visual judgment, a documented standard.
Custom RAL colours available on request for orders of two pairs or more. Lead time 8–10 weeks. Contact us to discuss.
The C-Series
Three models.
One cinema philosophy.
