Help looking to down size bass speakers.

[Rowleys]

Hi,

Last week my van broke down and had to use my old mans 7 seater. i did really enjoy using it and thinking of selling my car " well it up for sale now "

The problem was very tight and need to down size a little.

I have 2 EVPX 15 Bassbin as was looking for 1 bassbin powerful enough for the sound of 2 bassbin's

even tho i'm gonna miss the look of top and bottoms.

I have a BEHRINGER ep4000 So i can use the bridged.

My only worry is the sound from 2 down to 1.

Thanks

If budget allows, go active! - Negating the need to carry round a hefty amp!
The RCF ART 705-AS are great workhorses and kick like a mule. A little cheaper (and also quite punchy) is the dB SUB15 (the original one, not the new SUB 15 D - I haven't heard that one yet)

Both are now discontinued by the manufacturers however they can still be had new from some retail stores and come up on the 'Bay now and again.

Yes i have to agree rcf bass are great.I have the rcf905 and are amazing.You are close to me dave you can listen to mine one day.

Yeh i do like the RCF but the amps is a need really as if i get active i then will need to get active tops as i use a crossover for top and bottoms.

Not necessarily - many active subs have a built in switchable X-over on the outputs - It wouldnt be the tidiest of setups but you could run from your mixer to the sub, then from the sub to your power amp and out to your passive cabs, meaning you wouldnt require a seperate x-over :)

If you're set on passive....
Whats your budget?
What kind of bass do you require? - Deep or Punchy?
What are the size constraints of the new sub?

hay matty. yeh i think passive,

I really need heavy bass deep and punchy.. hope you understand.. i do play alot of bassline garage and house for 21st and 18th but i also do 50s and 60s i need something that does the lot.
