Better Than expected

So I have now been using this sub for a week, and to say I'm impressed is putting it lightly. I like it better than my EKX. I am so impressed with the sound quality, I am using it in my pro home audio system. This just has the sound quality that you are unable to get with home theater subwoofers. With the gain at zero and used in the Live setting, it's about as close as you can get to true audio reproduction. I have this paired up with my custom 2 way 12in mains, running of a Parasound Halo P5 and Anthem audio amp. Talk about drums, horns, bass, piano coming alive. The sound is scary real. My neighbor has over 20k in his home system, me about 6k. To say he is jealous and mad would be putting it mildly.I now have friends and family planning on getting one to use in there home systems. I could go on and on, but you really need to audition one for yourself to understand why this beast is so worth purchasing. If your a young person who only listens to rap or hip hop, them maybe get the QSC for twice the money. But if you listen to all kinds of music, and want true sound reproduction, this is the one for you.

Disappointed.

Debating on if i want to go through the trouble to bring it back or use it for something else. I bought this with the intent to cover the basslines below 50hz and deeper for my home studio, hits the kick drum with punch and certain frequencys very well, but when it comes to low basslines it was a complete disappointment, not only is the spl not even there (sound pressure level) but the lows are barely even audible. Great for everything else but if youre a bass head looking for deep bass lines, 40hz and below, this aint the one.

    The Mix Out on the Gemini should share the Bluetooth signal with this subwoofer.
