I allways thought oo its to do with the Sound Po-lice, also the genre of music ja system play, pretty sure not looking for dirty low sub ie 40/35/ below ect maybe?

They believe if the horn and tweeters are in the middle the sound will not travel as far and there will be less police shut downs and complaints.

However these days most events have permits and only run till 2am so sounds are going back to the normal way of straight double 18 boxes and horn/tweeters high in the air





My brother in law told me the same thing most dances are kept outdoors scoops got them into trouble the police started confiscating sounds.

If Jaro had those jbl's a little higher would probably result in an improvement. I would have stacked 3 of their subs on their side then put the tops up.....
They are definitely capable of producing great sound out of them with the right settigs

Big up Taurusty. When did the mini double's become the sub of choice? Was it Stone Love with the 'Canadians'? 


The system at Ultimate Jerk had these kind of cabs before Stone Love. Although when Taurusty and I linked up in March 2013 they didn't sound that impressive despite being really good in previous years. We weren't hearing anything much under 50hz. I thought at the time that the high pass filter may have been set too high. With hindsight, now wondering if this was a their way of minimising noise complaints.

Have they heard of round-over bits in JA? Most of those rigs look pretty splintery around the edges. 
Love the colours though. I wish I could paint my rig like that and still get hires for it :)

I was very excited going at my first dancehall session in Backbush, Kingston...
until i discovered there was no soundsystem but a pimped car for spl competition
i can see why everibody follows Stone Love, it sounded the best among what i heard on the Island.
i had great expectations on Bass Odissey system, i've grown up on their tapes, but it was a disappointment both time i heard it, heavy as in rattling the bar 40 meters away, but boomy and no definition.

P.S. i saw one 12" scoop used as bass for a little concert pa with plastic tops, and another one with wheels applied used to carry and sell fruits...

I don't get it.

Jamaica does not live in the past in terms of music. There are new releases every week to say the least. Modern Reggae Music offers low bass where traditional Scoop cabinets that you are accustomed to seeing fall short in terms of performance. Unless you are focusing on playing music primarily made in 19__, the chances of you seeing a Jamaican Sound System toting traditional Scoops playing modern music is minimum to none.
