Just wanting to add subwoofers, now

And A CV Earthquake will slap the taste out of both thier mouths
On a budget I would look at the JRX SP118 they would be a good match for your tops
The thought had crossed my mind, Steve.
Didn't suggest it because I'm not sure how it would couple with the existing mid-top configuration.
You all know me ~ I likes me Carvin gear. That said, I can't in good concience recommend something on the basis of brand name only. If someone had a pair of Carvin tops already and was looking for a sub cab to match, I'd suggest it. Carvin cabs typically work well together.
But... I dunno how they'd match with other brands.
In all reality its like comparing apples to sort of apples.. The CVs being a folded hord respond differently than the Yorkies being a standard sub. The CV has a better Frequency Response and I think the Yorkie has a slightly higher SPL (hard to tell they are rated different) Each one has its use.
Either way Ill admit they are both Animals and Im not a Yorkie fan
Arnoldo Ive used alot of Yorkville gear and had a TON of problems with almost everything I used by them. I currently use an Alto EQ (made by Yorkville) and even that dosent give off the tone that my buddys Tapco can. Ive always found thier tops to be very sharp in the midrange and hard to EQ out
I do think that most of the Yorkville subs Ive heard are pretty good. The LS 800 I have heard in the store and in the field and its nothing short of an animal
The funny part is the first speakers I ever used DJing were the old Traynor Coloums made by Yorkville they were a great speaker (hard as hell to carry)
Somewhere in the late 80s it all went bad....

If its any consolation Im not fussy about Peavey for the same reasons
Mabye its just me :sqconfused:

B52 1515x
What about this one, 1000 watt dual 15? Would that give the punch I need, plus alot more. Just curious?
I am leaning towards this or b52 act1 8x

Actually, Alto is an Italian company selling mostly budget-conscious audio gear. Some of their products are distributed in the US by Yorkville. The mixers are manufactured in China.
Practically all of the TX, Elite and Unity cabinets require the use of factory processing, or comparable processing with parametric eq, to deliver the sound they are designed to produce. This is no different than many non-powered models sold by other pro audio manufacturers such as EAW, EV, Community, etc. It is not a design flaw, just a needed component.

I do believe that folded horn subs are intended more for longer throw. Is this corret?
BTW I have a pair of JRX118sp's for sale if you're interested.

A set of dually 15s would definately afford your sound some serious wall-rattling thump if fed with 1KW RMS each. When needed, we feed ours with 850 WRMS per for mid low in stereo.
If it's punch you need, look at dually or 4X10s. They can offer some decent vocal tone as well if you EQ 'em right.
Please bear in mind that active systems are not headroom-heavy. We run all passive SR, tri-amped with a beautiful tone. We love amp headroom and prefer to decide what amp power our cabs will be fed with. There are no thermal issues with headroom-heavy passive SR systems.
This is correct. FH or "tuba" design subs are best suited for outdoor use where the bass response is needed for far field. They have a long, narrow footprint and tend to shine when arrayed. Especially nice is the fact that FH subs perform well no matter where they are placed. They don't need to couple with floors like their front-radiating bretheren.cbarronx23 said:

Madness congrads, you just got the best deal their is on a active sub. No other sub puts out that much boom for so little money. I'm sure your going to love your new sub.
Good choice Madness. I agree with Garrett. Great bang for the buck with the B52's. I think DJ Cheese has a set also.
