I am a mobile DJ and I have owned several subwoofers this one is definitely a keeper. I use it with a set of the JBL 515XT EONS and they really hold down the bottom end. I recently used the this sub with 2 sets of EON's to do background music and then dance music for 740 people and the sound was outstanding. The flexibility of using the high pass filter or straight thru is great. Most of all the compact size and weight (70 pounds) can't be beat. The bass is tight and deep.
