Share Your Live Rig

My gig rig from last Saturday, played with a blues-rock band.

Is anyone here using a self powered 18" club subwoofer in their rig?

I'm trying to prevent myself from an impulsive buy. Years ago in a previous band I used a mackie self powered 18" with a built in crossover. We ran my bass and the kick drum through it in our rehearsal studio (big studio). Along with my ampeg rig. It sounded amazing.

I'm desperately trying to not buy another self powered 18" to lug around Los Angeles... unless, of course, it would be worth it. Logically I think I've talked myself into seeing how my 810E does by itself, but I also need to take advantage of having a physical shipping address while I can use it before hitting the road.
 
Please share what rig you use live.
Pics are welcome.

Me: Ampeg SVT-VR + 810AV
(I don't have the pic & cannot upload any pic with my slow internet now, glad that TB app still performs well)

I just grab things from my project studio:

Avalon VT737SP Tube Pre-Comp-Eq and Crown Macrotech 1200 Power Amp (both in a flight case rack) plus combination of bass cabinets depends on the venue. I have some Carvin 10"s, 12"s, 15"s, and 18"s.
