light weight active sub

[Kevin Dean]

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 ?

I believe Barefaced do something that would fit the bill; 30lbs http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/LF800.htm

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 .

Alto do a 12" sub that's about £220 and is light. I'm thinking of getting one.

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.

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 .
