Maybe with JTS - I've mentioned before, I once heard a system called Logic using 8 of Mykey's Wattco scoops on a stage in Burgess Park Sth London.
 
Trust me, since that day, I ain't heard bass like that ever again from scoops outdoors. None of my mates could believe what we heard from the main road on approach to the park, & that distance I couldn't even measure it was so far away.
 
That's why the reggae man dem ain't letting go some certain types of scoops!
 
Big up yourself B, who have them scoops right now & ain't gonna let them go.
 
If Mykey gives me a chance to hear the DubSub one day, I'm sure it'll be something for me to remember. But everytime I ask him bout it, I get no response.
 
Tek its being built, when did you ask me? I must be missing posts sorry
spend to much time bitching with HBL
and I don't like doing that, I'm playing a game as well as other people on here
called stoking the fire when it gets low
i hope HBL is as well, just gets out of hand sometimes, makes me fill sh*t, thats why I'm addicted to running, i just run off all the crap.
 
talking of running, i must recomend you put on a decent pair of headphones and play
 
Creedence Clearwater 'born on the bayou' very loudClap even the black members will be convertedClapLOL
 
actualy this could be good, I/we will think of some great rock tunes and to try and convert you and you give us some rare grooves that we have never heard of to convert us
well i already love dub but would like to hear some rare stuff?

    Heard them at Nottinghill this year,  the crowd was too tight to really get round and listen properley.  But I could see he was running it 4 way with the ASS folded 15s and even the ASS Tweeter Box.
 
Would love to catch them before the crowd arrives.

Not quite correct, 2x WSX will easily reach 40hz with decent amps, and low cut at 80hz.
Many clubs use WSX in pairs with no perceivable lack of sub. 7ft vers 5.5ft horn. Wink

I think people are finally realising that having vast amounts of 30Hz isnt really that useful to you, since there isnt a lot going on down there anyway and you need exponential amounts of power to get that frequency up to the same level as the others,

As mykey says stick a boost at 63Hz and your perception of a fat warm tubby sounding bass will go up exponentially.


To be quite honest, 63hz is really for the 1980's and upto mid 1990's. Modern scoops excel in the 40-50hz, because it sounds much lower than it is, and impacts limbs and buildings.
They also excel playing Old skool reggae. As I said before, the only other 1x18 cab I can say the same of is the WSX.
 
Strictly 40 & 50hz for roots reggae music! Too much 63Hz punch too high therefore we use it for upper/high bass.
 
I only heard a stack of Labs at London Carnival, but personally, although it sound good & very loud, it weren't low enough & I preferred the sound of the double 18's on the NCA system.
