Wanted - Mackie Thump 18S Active Subwoofer

[Charlie Brown]

Which DB Tech sub do you have Charlie?

I'm not really sure of the model etc - a bass speaker is a bass speaker to me.

I know it's the 15inch but often clips - I give it a good thrashing and it works well.

From previous pictures I have seen of your rig, your subwoofer looks to be the DB Tech sub 05.

The DB Tech Sub 05 only runs at 400 watts RMS at 129DB SPL level.

How high do you run your levels on the sub and tops and then the mixer?

It does clip for most events but I just knock it back slightly. I think there is an upgrade which most people on here would recommend.

If I was going to go for a DB Tech sub, I would get the DB Tech 15D, James Lake uses a pair of them with a pair of Mackie SRM 450 V2. I would like to hear what that system sound's like.

I wasn't looking at buying a whole new system

My point was that you can get a better sub than the Mackie for the same price but also have satellites out
should you ever need them (ie your using your actives in another room or wirelessly or one has broken etc.)

I don't think I will need the extra satalites out as I don't play in big enough rooms to warrent them.

Ideally, I would like to get a pair of decent active subs for under a £1000 if I can. If not, I would pay more money to get one decent one like the DB Tech 15D etc.
