Subs to compliment EV S200's?
Hi,
Could anyone recommend a good sub to compliment the EV S200's ? Its more for small (~100 people) live shows. Do you think 2 EV S200's per side and 1 sub per side is enough for a live rock band ? I currently have a pair of EV S200's that I use for acoustic gigs but I know someone selling another pair, plus I could get some subs to make a live band P.A. Would I perhaps be better off with SX200/SX300's instead? Also can anyone recommend a good cross over to make it all work ? Cheers, Mark. -- |

This one is pretty simple to construct: http://www.speakerplans.com/index.php?id=x1 If you prefer a finished product you could look into the Dynacord F8..

Would I perhaps be better off with SX200/SX300's instead? For live rock music I'd get a pair of SX200 / 300 per side instead.. OTOH.. A pair of S200 per side would also be fine considering you already have one pair ( smaller investment ).. Just make sure you dont clip the amp driving the S200.. Those HF drivers are not the most durable on the market.. Also can anyone recommend a good cross over to make it all work ? The EV AC-One or the Dynacord Powermax 230 ( essentially the same thing ) is a nice analog crossover, altho a Behringer CX2310 will work if you are on a tight budget, but you will notice a big difference when compared to the EV / Dynacord one http://www.dynacord.com/unterkategor...id=57&subid=48 What amps do you currently own, or plan on, to drive this system ? /peter |

Also look at yorkville or even an EAW LA400 which can be bought used for not too much. Behringer amps to power then.

Also can anyone recommend a good cross over to make it all work ? Behringer DCX2496 Phildo |

I use (2 ) homebrew JBLs tentsale 2x15 in smalish ported cabs similar
to Yamahas 2x15. center clustered with 1 sx300 per side. driven by 1 QSC RMX 2450. I think you should try putting significant power into the sx200 before you buy more. These sx300 just start to open up at 500 plus watts and if you go for more tops you likely need to double up your Subs compliment! I've done 10 small(500) outdoor shows and folks are pleasently surprised everytime. Kevin Tracy |

What'd be a good driver for it? What amps do you currently own, or plan on, to drive this system ? I've currently got a QSC3002 for tops, nothing for subs yet. Cheers. Mark. -- |

If yes I might consider this option, looks like fun!! What'd be a good driver for it?´ I have heard good things about it, but never actually used them myself.. I'd suggest using the driver listed on the plans ( P-Audio something )... Check Proaudioparts.com for pricing .. Another option is finding a good 18" driver and just build a regular vented box for it.. Most manufacturers ( 18Sound, B&C etc ) have suggested designs available for download.. Just remember to use some decent plywood ( particleboard and MDF sucks if you want to take these boxes on the road ) and follow the instructions.. /peter |
