How can that 12" chassis be rated at 1000 watts?

i was expecting something larger than a 12L.

1000w 12" - That's nothing, check out Mackies 2000w 8"

Hint - stereo amp, no way is half the watts going to mid/hf - it just never gets used.

That makie looks cool!

The 112p manual just states that it is 1000 watts class D. No mention of how they measure that or what the split is between low and high.

The woofer is just stamped steel, but it does have a vented pole piece and a pretty beefy looking spider and suspension.

I was playing it at home to some music for a long time. Once I got past the stage where I was trying to kill it and find its limits it proved to be very musical and capable of producing a nice growly tone with my set up. It was loud enough to shake things in the room, but no where near gig volume. That report will have to wait a few weeks.

How are things going with this unit?

Take a look at the passive version of this cab. 250watts RMS/1000 watts peak.

I had rather hoped that EV would take the high road on this

I have 2 ELX112P speakers. The ELX118P will be here tomorrow. gmarcus, we will have to compare what we both think.

Great thread. I will have to keep watch on this.

I can say these EV's are bad to da bone. Our band uses 4 of the 15 versions for FOH. The venue size dictates we run all four and run everyrthing through the FOH. These EV's will flat out pummel loudly. I can see where one of the 1x12 would make a great bass cab, 50 hz is plenty enough low end. I have been using two 1x12 cabs with a Shuttle 900 and that makes one hell of a bass rig so why not?

sleepy_monkey · #29 01-08-2013, 06:22 PM

Yeah, I like them too. As far as blasting iPod music they sound fantastic. A 5 string Modulus is a little much for the 12s, but adding the sub is pretty awesome. Lots of low end and clarity. Whatever your bass sounds like is what you will hear.

Goodlawdy · #30 01-08-2013, 06:27 PM

Have you tried the sub with kick drum yet?

sleepy_monkey · #31 01-08-2013, 07:06 PM

I have not, but it is pretty tight with my bass so I imagine it would sound great with a kick. It thumps but is tight.

So is you combine these with the ELX118P where is the frequency crossover to cut off the 12" at 100 Hz?

I believe that is correct. I would have to double check the manual but I am pretty sure that is what I read.

My question is - how exactly did they implement this?

I know the sub has a LPF at 100 Hz. But it doesn't seem to have stereo out with a HPF at 100 Hz like some others have. So how do the 12" speakers get their HPF?

I run my guitar output into the 12", the link output from the 12" to the sub and let the crossover do the rest.

But that way do you have a 100 Hz HPF for the 12"?

I am guessing yes, but I am not sure. It sounds very good though.

uOpt · #38 01-10-2013, 03:52 PM

I just downloaded the manual, the HPF for the "crossover" with the sub is indeed in the 12" unit. Nice.

Cool, I thought I read that somewhere but couldn't pinpoint it. I am going to get an Eden WTDI to run through for now.

The high pass on the 12" speaker is engaged with a little button on the back. It is really steep so a bass guitar sounds really thin with it engaged. The HPF on my pedal board is a gentler slope so it sounds good with the speaker in full range mode. My band decided to record for a while so I haven't had a chance to try it out with the band.
