Do you not give your partner advice, this sounds more like a friend who also DJ’s. In a True partnership decisions are made together in the best interest of the partnership and costs and expenses are shared equally
You should shake them down a few times before the park gig. Are they setup in your apartment?
I had a pair too I bought them used from a guy going out of business because the deal was too good to pass up. They were used less than a dozen times and I used them another 3 or 4 and sold them for double what I paid
That's all he needs then he will be living in the cabinets lol
Reread what I posted. My partner bought the subs. That means he spent his money. Now haven’t I had DJs on here saying when was my partner going to buy some stuff? He's doing it. Don't say we won't be using these things. We will.

If your asking me, I would not have them. That's a 114 lbs. I don't want to move. Plus I don't think the specs are where there at. But hey. if your happy enjoy.
Am glad it.s you moving them, not me. Now if your going use these with your QSC 12.2 I think your going to run into mismatch sound problems. You should of went to Zounds.com and got yourself a QSC KS112. there only 63 lbs. and on wheels. True there only a 12 In. Sub. but it's a lot easier to move and load.
And Bass is only for sound reinforment. To much bottom end kills the tops. and to much tops kills the bottem. But I wish you luck but I think your headed for disaster.

You are not gonna find anyone on here who is going to be a fan of that sub
Thanks for your advice. What you suggested can happen with any sub and tops. I have heard where a DJ had too much bass and it canceled out the tops. It takes experience to know this.
Outdated, problematic, and underpowered.
Not really. We've used a pair of Yorkville 801P subs and those are heavier than the Mackies. The difference is they have wheels on them.
Did you read my earlier post about parting out the plate amps and original driver from the 801p’s, selling them and putting a few 100’s in your pocket?
Depending on the exact model those are a far better sub than the Mackies
