Your right Papa. It will help me get that 4th glowstick. Man it takes forever to build up those damn glowsticks. You and Wolfie have enough to light up Central Park.

As much as I like myt RCF....the 800p is the bomb..I used these in January; my gear was covered in crap from the slatted ceiling. i had cups dancing.....
In March, there was no crap from the ceiling; I should have sent them a cleaning bill.
Surprisingly, at 137 lbs, the are easy to manage; my wife and I loaded and unloaded them into our minivan.
One wonders though, at a wedding, if they can be intimidating....

Hey Steve,
Do you have the carpeted box?

I don't know if I could depend on a single powered sub to provide all the bass for a larger event. What if it went down, then where would you be? I would prefer two smaller ones for the simple reason of having built-in back-up. I've owned the passive 800 Yorky's and I never used them because they were a pain to move around. Mine were the SW800's without wheels but they had kick-a$$ RCF woofers in them that pounded. Of course I also had to bring an amp and crossover. I sold the amp but still have a nice Rane Mojo crossover for sale if anybody is looking.

How has Yorky's quality been lately? I read on another board about a guy who shredded the woofer in his 700P, he had photos and everything. Man, it was torn to pieces. They no longer use a RCF or B&C driver, it was an Eminence with a foam-rubber type surround. I have never seen that type of surround used for a 'Pro' application... I sent a buddy of mine to cover a recreation centre dance on time, he had a newer pair of ES500P powered cab's and one went out half an hour into the dance, taking out with it a portion of the electrical panel. The venue was not impressed...

Hi Steve,
I deal mostly with EAW, and just recently blew out one of my SB 250's (dual 15" sub). EAW claims that they don't have any more reconing kits available, and they stopped using their original parts and like Yorkville, switched to using Emminence woofers in their cabinets. They claim that they are great speakers.. I've never heard them before. I've heard a "rumor" that EAW is going out of business. I have 2 wishes.. that they don't go under, and that they continue to use quality parts in their cabinets. The original parts were the best, made in Italy. Same goes for Mackie (changing their parts).

Eaw is in the process of ramping up there production in China.

If you keep checking back, they'll have parts for them, they just don't know when.

P.A.S. just moved there stuff to China also. They now have a new Distributer in the U.S. He is doing everything he can to make it a good transition.

Hey John,

How do you like the carpeted LS 800?
I love them. Best bump for the buck.

It's the powered cabinet, right?
Yeah! it's the powered cab, carpet version.

I hear that the birch cabinet sounds a little tighter.

That could be true, but they both sound about the same to me. The birch looks more elegant. A DJ Buddy of mine has the birch cabs, I went with the carpeted cabs because of the great deal I got on them.

Darn! I just noticed that it has a 21" driver. This is not going to a big seller at all.

They would be great in a club install but a bitch to carry for us poor mobile slobs

Spinner, they are most likely RCF drivers in your EAW cab's and you should be able to replace them or get reconing parts easilly through any RCF dealer no matter what EAW tells you.

Hey Steven,
The cabinets that I have, had the original drivers in them.. RCF. The woofers are stamped "Made In Italy". I was told that EAW stopped using RCF and started using Emminence. Even a local DJ store in my neighborhood said that. Does RCF make replacement parts designed specifically as per specs for EAW?

Thanks,
Mike (spinnedoc)
