As has been said, with the original drivers they are fookin' nice. And 350 seems O.K., will sound better with the dedicated controller but still be very decent without. If you need tech spek's & help, Ohm are very friendly peeps to deal with.

I'm not so enamoured with these, they seem okay and they are cheap if they're loaded with original drivers but we recently did a room where 8 of them were used on an Ohm controller, hanging off a Void Infinite 8v2 and the 6 Punisher, 2 Xtro stack was a lot louder.

A lot depends on which model they are---If they are the MK1 with the pressed steel chasis drivers then they are crap---you can tell these as they are quite light,carpet covered and are built from 7 laminate ply---but beware as a lot of the ex hire cabinets have been stripped of carpet and painted----the mk2 or mk3 are the ones to go for as these should be fitted with cast aluminium chasis drivers made by Ohm in the factory and they also handle a lot more power than the mk1s.

one of the nicest bins ive ever heard, v.good price if V2/3, for an all in one bass solution with excellent spl and musicality, i dont think u can get much better, certainly not for that money!
not as straight forward as i first imagined..
