At 76 lbs I find myself reluctant to load them up and end up taking the crappy PRSubs out to smaller shows. I'm talking to Ramsdell Pro Audio about some of their 52 lb "clones" of the TH-Mini (
http://www.ramsdellproaudio.com/products/subs/XS-12.html) but they actually aren't clones at all. They presently go deeper
but aren't as loud above 70 Hz
. They're working on "fixing" that as it appears I'm the first serious potential buyer for their XS-12's
. The neo driver they use is about $150 more than the ferrite driver that the TH-Mini uses and that driver is only 5 lbs heavier than the neo. With the ferrite they should be able to get down around $500 for their cab
. Their folding is presently more complex that the TH-Mini - if they cut that back they might be able to make back that 5 lbs too. My goal is always to have nothing over 50 lbs. Next gig I want to take two of my two bass cabs and try them - they are 2x12's (212MBE) 4 ohm cabs and the IPR3000 will feed them 840 watts each. These only weigh 34 lbs each, about the same as the PRSubs
