| Post subject: | LANEY CX SUB Active Subwoofer |
Hi All My existing PA consists of 2 EV SX300s running out of a Yamaha EMX512 SC, with a no name monitor. I am lacking bass response and am considering purchasing a Laney CX Sub A Active Subwoofer- price is a big consideration in this purchase. Gigs vary between 50 - 150 people. Does anyone have any experience with this subwoofer? Should I get one or not? How does it compare to the behringers and samsons out there? Cheers! Vic in Sydney |

It is just that another Behringer or Sampson. I'd highly reccomend something else. It's only 250 watts. That is nothing put into a Sub especially an 18" Look for something 700 watts + Yorkville LS800P, QSC HPR 181i are about the 2 most reasonable priced subs on the market right now. |

My Problem is HPRs are very new in Australia and work out to Over AUD2500 each, same with the Yorkies. I am looking at 2 Peavey Subcompact 18s right now for about AUD1200. What is your experience with this sub? Don't have much info on them online. Are they powered? Cheers Vic in Sydney |

Karaoke people need to stop being so cheap, and karaoke community's sound as a whole might be alot better. |

I don't know that Peavey makes an active Subwoofer. I own a bit of Peavey gear. I can tell you it is not very efficent and is very power hungry. Being that you are fron AU I would actually suggest EV. ElectroVoice SBA760 is a very good option. |

Karaoke people need to stop being so cheap, and karaoke community's sound as a whole might be alot better. you say CHEAP like anyone who doesn't spend $1200 on a sub is cheap --come on Lyquidye - You suggest the QSC sub and you don't even use it according to your site you use Mackie and another brand. I don't use a sub so I can not offer advice to the OP but he specifically mentioned PRICE was a major conern. Most KJ's are not working 4 days a week and also doing weddings and parties etc. You seem to be a very succesful mobile entertainer who can afford to over spend on equipment to host a karaoke night. Just because someone buys Behringer or Yamaha products instead of BOSE and QSC you seem to think that there SOUND is inferior to yours. 95% of regular Joe's couldn't tell the difference between your $10,000 system and 2 speakers and a powered mixer in a bar setting LMAO |

| Post subject: | JBL JRX118SP Powered Subwoofer |
there there boys 
I have located a JBL JRX118SP which is selling for AUD850. Although I know this is not my best option I am inclined to go with it because of its price. A Brand New piece would cost AUD 1600, I am purchasing off the display floor. Any thoughts on how this sub will work out for me? Hopefully my last question. Thanks! Vic in Sydney |

The JBL is a Good Sub. We have 2 of them sitting around in the garage. I didn't know the AU $ was so close to US That's $790 US. It amazing how expensive things are down under. I can get that Sub here for $550 new.. |
