paulmcnamara Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Looking for a powered sub to accompany 2 Mackie 12 Thumps, and need something super light; any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Dare Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 What's your budget? I use a fab lightweight (45lb) powered sub (Fohhn XS22) but it cost £2.5k...You could do a lot worse than look at Mackie or RCF. For more money, Yamaha's newer PA speakers are nice (they bought Nexo and are using their technology). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Assume you mean for P.A... not a fan of Mackie subs at all... If you want small and relatively light, then the Yam DXS12 is ok.. Just be reasonable what you expect it to do. There is a reason why the better subs are generally heavy 15 and 18's For budget prices...relatively, the RCF 705/905's are a step up, IMO.

King Tut Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I use one of these for pub gigs. 19.5 kg and surprisingly pokey! If you can get over the 'B' word! http://www.thomann.de/gb/behringer_b1200d_pro.htm?sid=5b9a588aea71a2c322159375e71d0e7a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I only have reasonable experience of Mackie subs and not of the other makes JTUK mentions but I have to agree, we've been using them for 10+ years now and they are a bit flabby, prone to breaking and generally just a pain in the arse.

Dan Dare Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I'm not a Mackie fan, either (obviously in view of what I use), but they're one of the cheap options if funds are tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
