One for the Speaker Techie's!!
Considering adding a small Active sub to the Active 15's I'm using at the moment. It has to be a 12 due to weight and my back etc.
Popped over to my local dealer today (Zelma sound & light) and heard the Kam Kab 12 (quite impressed) so it's a toss up between this and the Alto TS12A.
The spec states the Kam is 600watt RMS ...The Alto 300watt RMS. Now due to speaker sensitivity SPL etc a 300 watt speaker can sound louder than a 600 watt speaker etc ...Blah Blah Blah. :)
I have listed the spec for both speakers, which do you think would be the better? your opinions please ;)
