Technical Pro Bass1501

Single 15" front firing subwoofer.
MDF or other "fake" wood construction.

Powered by a 1500 watt "peak" plate amplifier. Probably under 500 watts RMS? Driver has a cast aluminum basket with a 3 inch voicecoil. Has an adjustable low pass crossover for the subwoofer but also has a stereo 2 x 500 watts "peak" internal amp to drive a pair of top cabinets (200 watts RMS?) with a switchable 200hz high pass crossover. Unfortunately the inputs are stereo unbalanced RCA jacks but the top cabinet speaker outputs are both binding posts and SpeakOn. Weight is kinda heavy at 69 lbs for its 22x23x17 size.

This subwoofer goes very low for its size and is pretty loud - I measured about 114db at 6 feet for two cabinets with fairly bass heavy dance music. The top cab amps seem clear and undistorted.

Recessed side handles, top pole mount socket. One person can (barely) carry one.

Both arrived damaged due to only a single layer of cardboard for packing. Bottom corners were pushed in towards the center (!@#$%^ fake wood!) and the grills were half off. Too heavy (aka expensive) to send back and no way UPS would pay a claim die to the poor packaging. I want to remove the components and use them in much lighter plywood cabinets anyways. I should be able to patch them back together enough to use them as-is until the warranty expires. The input RCA jacks need something like an ART DTI hum isolator to hook them up to typical balanced outputs. The newer (?) model (Nuke-15x2) has separate inputs for the subwoofer and top cab amps so you could use the top cab amps for monitors as they aren't particularly useful for top cabs when you are running two or more of these. Whe I "re-cabinet" these I'll install balanced inputs and separate the top amp inputs. I would only recommend these if you can pick them up yourself as they don't survive UPSing. They are bottom feeder "DJ" grade but if you get them as cheaply as I did quite usable for rock band in a small venue. Four of them would do a 300 person room.
