Re: Powered Subs

What kinds of rooms Krispen?  The PA I had most experience with was 2 x 2x18 push-pull cabs with 
2k watts apiece,  and it was amazing outside on an open field, and removed tooth fillings indoors.  We were on sort-of a budget, and used Peavey but the sound was clean enough that Ray Brown (amazing jazz bassist) used one of these as his bass amp during a jazz performance on our campus and remarked "wow! that's serious low end, I like it"  If it's enough pound for outside, and clean enough for jazz upright bass, I'll take two :)

When we unpacked everything in a store room, hooked it all up in a gleeful rush, put in the then recent crystal method vegas cd, and i skipped to 'cherry twist', while my boss said "hey, do you think this thing is going to be very loRRRAAAAAAMMMP" as three foam ceiling tiles fell down because I "accidentally" had several knobs marked gain turned up beyond reasonable levels....  Delicious.

I also conveniently had neutrik speakon connectors for the subwoofer for my van at the time, and this subwoofer in there was just insanity.  It was an astro, and it would open the side windows...

An octave below 41.2Hz would be 20.6Hz.
