Im having trouble deciding what system to get. Im looking to get 2 x 15" reflex subs with 2 x 12" + 1" tops.
Ive been looking at the void basys system and as much as I want it so badly I'm not sure if its worth the amount that it costs new (cause ive been looking for second hand stuff for a while with no luck)

How much difference do you think their is between the basys system and other similar reflex branded systems (name some for me so I can take a look at them please) and normal custom built ones?

And the million dollar question is it worth the money?

any help is appreciated

Eventually looking to probably spend 1800 maximum (less if I can) on the speakers but at current have just over half this. But I dont mind buying it in sections i.e just the bass first because Ive got other bits and pieces I can use it with until I can afford the final thing.

I have already sorted out AVC2, Ultradrive and matrix xp3000h.

It will be used for anything and everything really but I suppose mostly will be bass heavy music (dub/d&B etc) so as much bass as I can get out of 2 15" reflex cabs. May add more bass in the long term.

I was just hoping to get some ideas on what to get..

i am currently going down a similar route:

i am looking at two of the BMS 15" jobbies in a reflex design to provide some sub bass in the lowend. as i don't do any events larger than 100 people (pub gigs / houseparties are pretty much all I do), then i can afford to tradeoff some sensitivity in favour of bass extension. however, this lack of sensitivity will be made up for (to some extent) by pushing more power into them Evil Smile. In the future I may well upgrade the cabinets to tapped horns once I get the space / time to build.

May be worth a think? The Basys system is otherwise pretty good value for money afaik!
