Don't forget about the frequency notch from not having them on the floor (which may help or hinder, depending on the situation).

Mike,
I would certainly not argue with the experience you and Ivan probably have that a horn loaded sub can be flown with much better results than a front loaded sub.. just that I have only ever seen ONE system with flown subs that worked properly. And I would certainly agree that having a boundary, such as the floor, for a front loaded design box seems to mitigate a lot of the issues that flying creates for that design type box.
Another thing, though, is I know I see riders that say very clearly about NO FLOWN SUBS.. probably because they are thinking about conventional front loaded boxes sounding so poor up in the air.
Anyway, I'm not contesting your experiences.. only relating mine.. which I have not had the privilege of getting to work with as much in fine equipment as you all have.  Sad
Regards,

Anyone know how the growlers compare to a 3015lf  loaded Tuba 36 24" wide? I have 6 of the Tubas but am interested in how the Growlers compare as i am puting together a smaller secondary set up. Oh i should mention, this is for dance music dj use.

Also are the growlers avalable with recessed handles on top and bottom and 4 casters on the back?

Kevin,

I have some Growlers in Napa, including a demo cab that you can try.

One pair in my inventory have the T-nuts installed for 4 caster mounting on the rear. The standard handles are routed into the top and bottom rear edge. You should talk to Jeff about the possibility of adding handles. It should be easy to put them in the horn mouth area, but I don't know how that may affect performance.

Here is a big photo that Phil Lewandowski posted of his Growler:

How would a pair of Growlers do with a set of Community RS220 tops?
(with the tops dropping off around 140/120hz, id think there would be a slight gap in there)

Perhaps 4 RS220 tops?

Alas, not sure I can afford a pair of Growlers and another amp.. but never hurts to dream..  or get 1 now, 1 later.

I wasnt very happy with them... The RS220's out ran them by a long shot...

I was just checking the QSC site.  You can get the 700W plate amp for the HPR15i for $300 from their parts website.  40Hz sub filter and 100 Hz Hi pass according to the schematic.  They also have the gasket and installation screws as parts.  i think ythey use a locking IEC cord as their AC power.

However, I'm not sure if the plate would fit the back of a cabinet without compromising the bracing or the folded horn air path.

I know this has been a rather dead topic, but I'm also curious about a plate amp on a growler.  I would be thinking of the QSC amp mentioned by the previous poster or the Digmoda stuff that's out now.  Come to think of it, I wonder if the QSC gets their plate amps from KSC/Digmoda?

Maybe Jeff can chime in here whether it's possible?

I would find it hard to believe that an amplifier manufacturer would be buying amps from another company-but hey-stranger things have happened.
