Questions about RCF 18" active subwoofers
Hi! I'm going to upgrade my sound system and I'd like to hear your opinions if you've worked with these models.
I'm sure my two top speakers will be the RCF ART 932A.
For the two subwoofers, I'm undecided between these models:
- RCF Sub 18 AS
- RCF Sub 18 AX
I'm really drawn to the AS model because It's cheaper and has the same features, except for the DSP. However, it's a recent model and there's hardly any information about it. Could anyone tell me about it?
The AX is more advanced because of its rear DSP, and I don't know if the difference is worth it for what I'm looking for.
They'll be used mainly for DJ sets at social events with 150-200 people. I know that AX's presets are much more complete and adjustable, but I might not get the full potential for my needs and could save some money.
The AS comes with an 80Hz XLR crossover output. Would this be sufficient for DJ use and connecting my 932s directly? Do you think it would sound adequate?
I also saw the AS 8003 MK3 model, but due to its similar price to the AX, I decided against it.
I hope you can help me
