    Why would you want 18" subs with 12" tops surely something like this would be better size & weight wise ?

    Mind you I think looking at them if it's possible to turn the top around so the top hat is further back that would be ideal.

    Of course a decent pair of 18" subs is going to sound really good but for most mobile discos you don't need them, a pair of 15" is plenty and will balance with the 12" tops well, what do you want to carry all that extra size and weight for ? particularly if you have to go up a couple of flights of stairs.

    Well it appears to be lighter than an RCF 705. I'd still class it as a two man lift though, because they're so awkward to carry.

    If you have the budget, then go for an RCF sub - one will be more than enough for most venues. The newer 905 is £1000+ but weighs less than the 37Kg 705AS which you should be able to find second hand for around £500.

    Those are the 2 I'm looking at Darren.

    My biggest problem is how impatient I am!
