the jbl or cow would by my recommendations for all round hard hitting high spl @ 40Hz for steppers and the like.
eminence if you like being impractical (they must be a good 10% larger in volume than the others)

i have not mentioned the HOG, im not sure if its really right for reggae, it has a completely different tone to a traditional scoop.


You're a big man, but you're in bad shape. With me it's a full time job. Now behave yourself.

I think these cover the units good and one can have a nice size logo on them too. True great work from my Main man Mr T , of who´s name I with hold cause he doesn´t have time , I don´t have time to build cabs no more , too much work in renovations/building construction projects.
Anyways lookin to be running 8hog 4ES218 with 4 Xtros on top, something kind of like this
 

will keep you posted

Maybe depends on who builds them!
 
Have heard a couple & they've both sounded completely different to each other.
 
Would like to hear the v18-1200 loaded ones!
