$500 is about my budget. Carvin is offering a new LS1801A and I can get a used Yorkville LS700P. Buying used doesn't bother me but if the two are close I'll go new. What do you think and why?

Subs - Carvin vs. Yorkville
- Thread starter tycobb73

My church just got into a new building, but for the last year we've been setting up in a gym using EV tops and Yorkville powered subs and they worked great, punchy, loud, but not boomy.
I'm using some budget Yorkville's and have been impressed so far. I'm leaning towards the 7200's just because I like the low profile design.

Either would be acceptable. If you buy new you get a warranty, used you maybe squeak into the next tier of performance. I'd say these two are pretty evenly matched though.
REALLY consider transport and storage.
Sometimes sub mfgs will have strange layouts that makes them bulky or funky to use.
Some Yorkville "short" subs make it tought to use them with veritcal poles.
Some subs are a strange non/traditional size that makes them tougher to store and move.

that's what I was thinking. My guitarist would be repsonsible for transport. Less of a footprint in the vehicle and 20 lbs lighter makes me lean towards the carvin but if the difference was huge..
That is true but this yorkvikle is oddly shaped so it takes up more floor space than the normal eighteen, although this is a 2.10
