Got this to down size from my ha3500 and a xl4.5 and got to say for a 35 lb. combo this thing rocks. It got plenty of power and great tone and definitely a lot easier setting up and tearing down at the end of the night. It has nice warm lows and that hartke punch, bass you can feel as well as hear, do gotta get it off the floor though. Active or passive sounds excellent through this amp. I would highly recommend it.
