« on: January 20, 2010, 07:24:54 PM »

150 Watts continuous sine wave
600 Watts instantaneous peak

Impedance: 8 ohms full range

Do they have tripod cups? If so an EV sb2A is an obvious choice. It is a powered sub, but with an extra amp channel to drive a top cabinet. Stick a pole in the sub and it serves as the base then stick your bagend on top. 350W for the sub and 350W for the top. Makes a nice tiny package.

They are not cheap, however.....

thanx for the info - your right about the sb2a's being $$... but an elegant solution for some.  i already have have a couple of qsc rmx 1450's though.   the ev sb122 seems to be the non powered version, and for @ $320 seems to pretty reasonable.  The only thing is I'm bit biased against plastic enclusures....

I have an EV sb122 if you're interested in giving it a shot. It's not boomy, so it doesn't fit my business (mostly rentals to DJ's).

A really useful match (at least with the Bag End TA2000s - a higher power-handling successor to the TA12s) would be a couple of Bag End Infra subs http://www.bagend.com/ such as the D12E along with an ELF crossover. The ELF patents have expired, so now at least one other company (an Aussie kit manufacturer - though I can't recall the name) offers something similar. But if you can swing the price, the Bag End crossover is expressly designed for the Bag End product line.

best,

john

lots of useful information... so thanx to everyone.   I like the idea of the bag end d12e... it would look good too, like a column array, especially if I got two.  but i could probably swing one for now, try to ebay the elf processor and then add another one later....
Of course i also have to decide if i want to enlarge the system later.   Like i was thinking, maybe a pair of YK UCS1s?  and then moving up to bigger mains as money permits... Just a thought...
