This set us is driving me nuts! I can't decide :) Thanks for the review!

When you stack em on top of each other, do both subs have to be at cardiod? Or only one should be in cardiod mode and which sub should be? Top or bottom?

[NukePooch]

Great video! Thanks for having the meter reading dBC (as it should be). Performance between the two systems was closer than I would have guessed, both in dB and power draw. Good info for sure.

I have 2 Everse 8s and 1 Everse 12. Which setup would be best for a solo musician playing guitar vocals with backing tracks?

[WWeiss-nvvz]

Great job! Stacking subs is very important for a free dB boost! Do you think 2 of the 12 inch subs would equal or outperform a single 18" ELX200-18SP?

Loving this gear content! Keep it up! :)

I do a one man band and need to occasionally mic my bass drum. Not often. I use the everse 8 a lot. I have the evolve 50 but use it so rarely it’s a hassle to bring out. I’m curious to replace it with a ZLX or ELX speaker. Any thoughts if a 12 or 15 could handle some bass drum?

Thank you very much for the video, it speaks to me because I have the Evolve 50 and ELX200 10P tops. I have four ELX200 10P tops, and I ordered yesterday 2 EKX 15SP to match to ELX200 10P tops. You are saying like other DJs that it's more efficient to stack the subs apart from the tops. I have a 2 person band for folk music, sometimes 3. When I play alone in restaurants I take the Evolve 50 which are more than enough. For bigger venues I add the four ELX200 10P but we lack bass. Now with the 2 EKX 15SP in the middle and two tops each side of the stage that will be enough. And I can always add the Evolve 50 for more sound. Do I have to stack the subs or can I have them side by side in the middle ? Someone told me that if I stack them or put them side by side I would get 3 db more, is that true ? What do you think about the 4 ELX200 10P in combination with the EKX 15 SP ?
Thank you from Brussels and have a wonderful 2024 year ☺

I have two Evolve 30m. Do you think adding the elx 200 12sp sub yo it would add anything ? I want to add a bit more base.

[Hubjeep]

Interesting comment about stacking the subs! So not side by side? I have 2 ELX118P's.

Evolve might have clarity vs for ELX200. Evolve lacks long throw highs and lows. Evolve is light weight compact speaker. Evolve great small venue. Add the sub for medium size. For larger events I use Bassboss DV12s and BB15.

I need an honest tech question. No opinions, only FACTS Please. I have 2 EV50's (they need more low end), so My question is: Would adding 2 more EV50's Column Arrays, or adding two (2) more (subs) ELX200's 12SP be more beneficial for the low end (keeping cost in mind too). Now, the 3rd option is: Replace the EV 50's and add two (2) Maui LD 44 G2's? Fact answer's only, please only answer if you have experience with this equipment (Please don't answer if you only read the manual).
