the box pro Achat 112 Sub

I bought 2 of these subs to use with my EV ZX-1 speakers for small live band gigs in bars, restaurants etc. The 112 Sub with the ZX-1 is a nice combination, and much cheaper than the original ZX-1 Sub.
I run a bi-amped setup with a speaker processor and 2 EV CP-3000S amplifiers, which deliver more than enough power for these speakers.
The internal sub crossover is a 1st order filter, which I bypassed since (4th order) filtering is done in the processor which sounds much better.
The result is nice balanced sound, with a quite impressive low-end given the size of the subs. Kick drum is nice and punchy, bass guitar sounds balanced over the frequency range.

Subs are lightweight and the whole set fits easily in a normal station wagon. Don't forget to buy the covers; It is easy to scratch the paint.
The internal wiring is quite thin, I replaced it for thicker wire when bypassing the internal crossover.

I Bought these speakers along with 2 Achat 404 and they have provided very good service. The bass is very punchy and in no way muffled at all - lobvely low end grunts from Bass huitar and Drum output that really hit you in the stomach and make it a real performance to remember.

Recently I was asked to provide the PA for a small festival so used these speakers. I have to say their performance was incredible. I went to the far side of the field and could hear the band playing with perfect clarity over 100M away. That's awesome - they aren't just loud, they are super clear - if you're looking for a top class set of Subwoofers for a mid range price - then these are the boys you should get

Bought as a full PA Set to include 2 x Achat 404, 2 x Achat 112, Thomann 2.5KW amp stands and cables - excellent price superb quality and great value

I originally bought these in 2009 for a band i was in at the time thinking that because of the M20 threaded plates on the top i would use speaker poles for our Active tops and dispense with speaker stands . It was only when they arrived that i realised that these little 12" lightweight subs would be too wobbly with our heavy powered tops on the pole. I put them in storage and forgot about them ! Fast forward to 2012/13 and fed up of carting our bigger subs around I thought I would give them a try as we had now moved over to a passive system with Achat Pro 12" Tops ( much lighter!) I am now giving those subs a good kicking with an active crossover (DCX) and they share 1200 watts of 40-120Hz and I find it really accents the Kick drum, that moves air and makes the punters jump about, I am so pleased i gave these another try and the bonus is that they even have their own crossover/passive links and you carry them in 1 in each hand ! Can't recommend these highly enough !

I use two of these for a one man acoustic show with two pro achat 110m tops. Great subs, small, light enough to carry two at a time. They're being pushed by a yamaha emx 5014c which gave great thump out of them. Was quite surprised to be honest given there small size. Was using a smaller powered desk before this and I wasn't getting much "thump" out of them, different story with the yamaha! They sound great, im using a Beatbuddy Drum pedal along with acoustic guitar and i've all the thump I need and more with these and its great to have the crossover available. Easy to store, I fit these and my whole pa system into a small car and still have room for a passenger!
