the box pro Achat 112 Sub

Good sound for a small Subwoofer

I bought 2 of these subs to use with my EV ZX-1 speakers for small live band gigs in bars, restaurants etc. The 112 Sub with the ZX-1 is a nice combination, and much cheaper than the original ZX-1 Sub.

I run a bi-amped setup with a speaker processor and 2 EV CP-3000S amplifiers, which deliver more than enough power for these speakers.

The internal sub crossover is a 1st order filter, which I bypassed since (4th order) filtering is done in the processor which sounds much better.

The result is nice balanced sound, with a quite impressive low-end given the size of the subs. Kick drum is nice and punchy, bass guitar sounds balanced over the frequency range.

Subs are lightweight and the whole set fits easily in a normal station wagon. Don't forget to buy the covers; It is easy to scratch the paint.

The internal wiring is quite thin, I replaced it for thicker wire when bypassing the internal crossover.

Little beast

Gives surprisingly powerful punch.

smallest subwoofer of 300+Watts RMS I ever seen.

only 17kgs! Can be moved along with you for smaller venues.

Great quality/price

I had my thoughts when purchasing these woofers along with the tops. But they are in a permanent installation for about a year now and they are really really amazing. Sound quality is great, the range not too well, but ideal for what I'm using them (2) for.

Great for the price

This 12" sub is great value for the money. I use it for DJing with 250w tops and it does the job nicely. Nice bass and very light in weight which is big plus.

Seriously powerful

I bought one of these to use with two CL110 tops for smaller venues but have found it to be quite suitable for even outdoor use.

I gig with it regularly at a bar on the beach in Punta Prima (Spain) and it punches out enough grunt for our regular crowd of between 150-200

Still not keen on the sprayed on finish which in my experience always chips way to easily.

I did purchase the fitted cover with it though, so it may keep it?s good looks for a while.

Great quality

For the price, you won't find a better small sub. I put it in a 150 person venue and it does the job nicely!

Great subs

I use two of these for a one man acoustic show with two pro achat 110m tops. Great subs, small, light enough to carry two at a time. They're being pushed by a yamaha emx 5014c which gave great thump out of them. Was quite surprised to be honest given there small size. Was using a smaller powered desk before this and I wasn't getting much "thump" out of them, different story with the yamaha! They sound great, im using a Beatbuddy Drum pedal along with acoustic guitar and i've all the thump I need and more with these and its great to have the crossover available. Easy to store, I fit these and my whole pa system into a small car and still have room for a passenger!

Very good Sub for the price!

The physical size of this sub has no relation to the sound quality. It packs a good punch and has a great frequency response for its size. I am using just one sub with 2 x 8 inch tops and this works nicely for a pub gig (or 50-60 people). Using more subs would boost the usability up to a couple hundred people quite easily. The best part, and main reason for the purchase, is that it is compact and lightweight enough to carry with one hand. Well worth the price and would recommend for any band or DJ PA systems.

Suprizingly clear bass response

Amazing sound quality and bass handling. These are currently being used in a venue as part of a DJ rig and for the size of these speakers there is sufficient bass handling for the rig and room. No complaints whatsoever

Big Surprise in a little (Bass) box !

I originally bought these in 2009 for a band i was in at the time thinking that because of the M20 threaded plates on the top i would use speaker poles for our Active tops and dispense with speaker stands . It was only when they arrived that i realised that these little 12" lightweight subs would be too wobbly with our heavy powered tops on the pole. I put them in storage and forgot about them ! Fast forward to 2012/13 and fed up of carting our bigger subs around I thought I would give them a try as we had now moved over to a passive system with Achat Pro 12" Tops ( much lighter!) I am now giving those subs a good kicking with an active crossover (DCX) and they share 1200 watts of 40-120Hz and I find it really accents the Kick drum, that moves air and makes the punters jump about, I am so pleased i gave these another try and the bonus is that they even have their own crossover/passive links and you carry them in 1 in each hand ! Can't recommend these highly enough !
