I can't help but think I am being sold on some speakers from none other than John Lovitz! 🤘

[jefizz]

Should the Phase option be on Normal or Invert? What’s the difference?

For all you Mackie Thump 118S owners... Just made purchase... Question does this sub have a class D Amplifier on it, but no Volume knob tp control how loud you want it...

[smoothsoundsstudioproduction]

Awesome video! Just one question; I’m wondering if one of the 18 inch sub can carry a good space (100-200 people) with 2 tops. Anyone have the new one to give some feedback?

[WeAreClaves]

Di box, pedal or another amp with a Di. Outlets have a frequency that abuse your speaker. Really depends on the instrument. But short answer is you need a Di.

Would this be an overkill for a couple of Thump Go's? I'm missing the low end for small gatherings

Is the 115s thump sub louder than jbl irx115s?

[jefizz]

I play in a band that plays in clubs that usually hold up to 250 people. Would 2 of the 18in. Subs & 2 of the 15XT Loudspeakers be enough?

[leeopolka]

can I connect the sub to 215xt and provide an input signal to the sub from the 215xt while paired in BT mode?

[NocturnosRockShow]

Website says 1400W peak... can someone tell me what the real "Continuous" wattage is?
Thanks

[pablojimenezromero]

is it plug and play or do I need a crossover?

[clintonbruning]

How do you connect a mackie powered PA to a powered sub like this so I can listen to music in my gym via Bluetooth.

[bboymac]

Hope you guys make portable version I don’t have to plug into a wall

[ryanhildebrant]

Would they work as a house sub for both music n movies

[Thekingdomtruth]

They are really awesome looking! If any audio knowledge proficient person can answer this question for me, that would be very helpful. I have one of these speakers, the 18 inch. The only way I can seem to get a loud enough output, say, for a live setting, is basically running the signal chain as follows: audio source, channel on mixer, output, preamp, input on speaker. Don’t know if it’s bad for the speaker to run a hot signal into the input. If I were to just run a signal from the output of the mixer into the speaker, I have to turn up the volume to the max to get it to sound loud enough. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks!

Are these 700w rms output to the driver & guessing a 600/700w driver?

[TessaAnderson]

Now I could use a pair of these in my face

[rameysue]

Someone threw out a JBL subwoofer. I plan to make it my bass amp.

[leonthomas]

I wish manufacturers would be held to an honest standard of rating the power of their speakers. There's no way in the world. These are 1400 W on the output. It wouldn't even be 1400 W peak based on what I've seen of the amplifier and power supply that 1400 W is the total power consumption of the system at its max. The speaker output couldn't be more than two hundred watts RMS at best. I feel it is false advertising to label these 1400 W speakers.And there's no way in the world that can even come close.The components on the power supply and amplifier could never support 1400 watts on the speaker output
