Love at first Bass

Anonymous 18.12.2015

I tested this two subs few days ago it did a super great job in a combination with satellite speakers(2x Ev-Zlx15p) People were dancing all night long, no sub-bass error or failure so ever . It was a bit hot at amplifier area, but no danger in overheating.
To protect yourself I advise you to run it via speaker management system, for total cross-over and limitation control against potential misunderstanding of mixer's master output signal that could damage your entire system.
Otherwise Frequency cutoff works very well this sub is playing very very loud and comes with a built-in limiter.
As a good Sub its heavy and it should be!
Its well built ... but don't hesitate in buying 4 wheels for transport your back will be very thankful, this sub will expand your bass-based-music delivery for all thirsty dancers out there. Totally recommend!

I bought this for a small scale theatre tour which i wanted a lot of sub frequency sound going on in the show. We were using one for an audience size of about 100 maximum. Worked really well and gave me the weight of bass i wanted. Did manage to max it out in parts of the show but I was doing some pretty loud sub effects. Used in a more realistic setting, It could easily manage a bigger room.

The sound is good. It's not perfect. It isn't very level in it's frequency response (in the range it can manage), but this was probably more noticeable to me at the level i was using it and it was easily tuneable through software.

It is heavy! and i don't necessarily mean that in negative way. It makes it really sturdy which helps with the sound quality. But considering I bought this to tour, I do feel a little sorry for the people who have to move it in and out of a van every few days (although that's not me, so I don't feel that sorry).

Best price/quality balance

Blind Dog Studio 03.09.2020

We tested subs both indoor and outdoor events.
Amazing sound and attack even at low gain indoor at our small 100 square meters amphitheater inside the studio.
No distortion at max levels in the big venue places and outdoor.
Sounds perfect for live bands and DJing as well.
I suggest not to throw away protective foam from the package. It works as a good damper so you don't need to buy it separately.
Please keep in mind heavyweight. You will need 2 strong guys to carry this subs

Cheap big bass box

licht 27.11.2019

Don't buy this for home use if you have neighbors :D I did, couldn't turn it up more than 5% otherwise the whole house was resonating. Obviously, this is not a small speaker.

Recently I was finally able to push it to it's limits at a party, however after 7 hours of active use on nearly max (it was not limiting), it suddenly started to emit a weird noise, even when the voice cable was unplugged.

Turns out, there is a sponge like glue thingy fixing one of the components on the circuit board to prevent moving from the bass. This material melted, and made a short circuit.

Replacing that with a silicon based glue fixed the problem. I think this is a design flaw, because the material used initially on the circuit board can become conductive over time, probably due to the heat.
