"great bang for the buck"

Overall:

(see rating details)

I purchased the LF driver for a slotted 3cf port tuning it to app. 30 hz. and it pounds like a wrecking ball on old concrete. Very articulate base. The crossover is a Dayton that cuts off at 250 hz. and can withstand 600 watts of a.e.s. pink noise. I push this baby with an EPX 4000 bridged from Behringer that is connected to same brand sonic exiter and rack mount line mixer. This baby can take the the signal modifications I am sending to with little effort. Can't wait to use it on my first gig.
