Kevin Dean Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Any recommendations for a light weight active Sub , only going to be used in pub/clubs for the kick drum , I currently use a Alto 15" 600w RMS & I know it's only 65lbs but with my poor back I was wandering if their is anything lighter , I see there is a 12" EV that's 20lbs lighter ?

ezbass Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I believe Barefaced do something that would fit the bill; 30lbs http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/LF800.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Dean Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 I did see that but it's a bit too much money , I might try using one of my Super Compacts & digital power amp I already have . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Alto do a 12" sub that's about £220 and is light. I'm thinking of getting one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crez5150 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I think that you will be disappointed going from a 15 to a 12" To get a decent kick you are gonna really need two of these together. I'd say minimum you need to stick with a 15" cab that has a decent power stage in it and you are still going to be in the 50-70Ib region of weight.

Kevin Dean Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 I gigged the EV 12" active sub , & for a small pub 100 people max it was easily enough ,I was very impressed , I'll probably get a second for larger venues & back up .
