Madness of a sub for the price

Best sub you will find for the price. Great cleaning product the vibration brought up all the bits stuck in the carpet. wasnt expecting much as it only goes 10hz lower then my tops so i was impressed when it turned my room into jelly. Beautiful sound as well plenty deep and hits harder then my dad

Nice little subwoofer

We use 2 of these in our pa set up for small/pub gigs and rehearsals, they do the job well and have been up to the job.

Perfect for begginers

It's amazing what this little box can do!

The subwoofer is great when driving my 12" speakers.

Not a bass monster - but very good

I combine the 112 Sub A with an Aspen-Pittman Space Station 3 to emulate a classic Leslie for organs (they require lows, and the SS3 cuts at 100Hz). On occasion, I have also used the combination with a Mackie mixer as a small PA (works well).

For this use, the sub does a very good job. It integrates well with the SS3, it's easy to determine a good cross-over point, and the balance is retained at most levels (the SS3 can be very loud). It takes a little time to find the best settings, but for my use that is more or less a one-time thing.

Connections are as they should be, XLR balanced + 6.3mm jacks unbalanced, with the option to daisy-chain with additional subs.

This is still a small sub, easy to handle (bless it), so it won't produce monster bass for large venues - not by a long shot. But for the organ I have played venues with 100-200 patrons with ease, without tapping into FOH.

Had it for about three years, used it and hauled it around quite a lot, with zero issues. An easy recommendation.

We took 4 items for open-air EDM parties

The sound is clear for techno, electronic, house, psytrance events. For drum-n-bass events, we are going to take 2 items more.

Useful high cut.

We have 4 items of this product, the t.amp E-800 + 2 x the box PA 302.

Also, we have 5.7Kw petrol generator and a lot of DMX lights.

All equipment works great.

Thanks a lot! Enjoy!

I was very satisfied with this subwoofer. I wasn't expecting a good quality for such a low price subwoofer, nevertheless I do not recommend the speakers from Behringer.

Punchy

This little chap is easy to carry but packs a punch. Easily handles the low end for some small satellite speakers and with a 2nd sub, you could push the db level pretty high (with the right mid/tops).

Quite a compact subwoofer... but makes a big difference.

We are delighted with this purchase. It's not been in use much so far, but already the results are very pleasing. The biggest difference is that it frees up the main speakers to focus on mid-high frequencies... and therefore the overall sound quality has improved. We only use one in a small church building (seats about 70), but for us it's enough. I image that a larger venue would probably require two (or more) or 15" / 18" size.

The Box Pro Achat 112 subA..more than decent!!!

I ordered this active sub several months ago for home use connecting it with my PA (Yamaha stagepass 400i).This little sub made the difference...it does a hell of a job and you can only understand it if you try to compare your sound before and after connecting this subwoofer to the PA...it just does all the hard job and takes all the heavy duty leaving space for the normal speakers to perform better especially on mids and highs since they don't have to carry all the low frequency load.

PROS: 1) It is really loud for home use so as far as power is concernerned,it is more than enough for this purpose.. you have to push it to much until it starts to distort or set wrong eq on your mixer and instruments.

2) It is noiseless

3) It is relatively ligth and easy to carry

4) simple features very easy to use

and 5) Very good sound quality for its price range.DO NOT make the mistake to compare it with high-end active subwoofers that cost double price..the sound quality for its price is more than decent!

So far no CONS really...would definetely buy again!

A great not expensive sub!

Bought a set of two active subwoofer.

They are very compact and not very heavy, you can easily handle them in yours gigs.

They have a good sound response, for the price you just cant go wrong.

Active 12" Subwoofer

An excellent sub-bass box, very well made and compact... I have used 4 of these boxes as part of an sound install for a restaurant bar that features Dj's and Band's the sub's have been coupled together in twos for space saving reasons... they neatly stack on top of each other and do not rattle, they sound more like 15's and have withstood quite a bit of punishment over the year with the Dj's and Bands, will definitely use these again on a future install, a great value product :)

Average

Used in a bar smoking area for djing and they didn't give as much bass as I expected. Nice size for carrying but not quite loud enough for me.

Great sound

I bought this to add some umph to my PA, especially as I use a drum box. Wow, and did it! Fantastic sub and well worth the price. Even our bass player now runs his amp into my PA! Excellent build quality too.

Great subs

I use a pair of these to add some extra bass to a pair of active 12" full range speakers. They're fairly powerful for their size and cost, and add that bit of extra depth and punch to help the tops fill a room effortlessly. The link output is full range rather than crossed over, but I find this works well as it allows the tops to put out a bit of bass too.

Used in a Bass System

I use the sub in conjunction with an AER Bass One amp. It makes a very flexible and portable system which I use with both fretted and fretless bas.

the box 12" sub

Great sub for the money, however you can't push it too hard before it starts to distort. This is not noticeable when the music is loud and listen closely and you can hear it. I sent the first one back thinking it was broken, but the replacement is the same. I use it for mixing up a kick drum, so fairly large spl.
