I'm looking for a sub I can use for a small outdoor live setup, but would also double for producing at mixing at home, would this one make sense?

The second one I use in my home theater. :-) When it is time to hit the road- I borrow the one from the studio and theater and I am ready to go.

Randall, para aire libre tienes que tener dos, son excelentes sub's y para instrumentos de frecuencias graves, responde muy bien, ahora yo tengo el sub P1800SX de vega, da mas rango de frecuncia que el 118XA, el 118xA da 36 Hz - 135 Hz y el P1800SX da 31,5 Hz - 272,0 Hz, para que lo tengas en cuenta.!

This would be perfect for a live set-up, but it would be a little too much for mixing. I would recommend the CVA-115, which has a 15" speaker instead of the 18" speaker. Thanks Randall.

@ +12db you will hear some noise, but for live work it's acceptable&gt; I would not use it for studio post production mix downs. Hope this was helpful.

That aaaaall depends on your production/genre of music. I don't need them making all sorts of Electronic Dance Music. But I've heard adding a sub makes the sonic range even sweeter in the lowest end. If I had the cash...m'yeah...I'd get the sub, but for now as an intermediate producer, I can happily do without. PS. I bought these instead of the HS50 or HS60 because indeed, those models were bass-poor and only designed for rock, organic jazz or symphony production.

It will not work as good without a sub as it is a completely seal speaker so what a small seal speaker can do is midrange and high frequency response leaving the bass to the sub. NHT has made choices with the SuperZero 2.0 to make them easy to place anywhere, easy to wall mount, and easy on the wallet; all this without making promises (like chest thumping bass) that they can't possibly keep. I too have bought 2 pairs of it for my home theatre system and also my jazz collections of vinyls. It sounds as good as some other high end speakers with a price tag reaching thousands of dollars and most of the times even better if I dare say.

Why not! Sounds like a perfect application. Like any other application, I would not plan to run this unit flat-out for long periods as you will likely run into reliability issues. This is not a high-end unit. I'm a gigging bass player and I've been using this with volumes set to about 8/10 for a couple of years now with no probs.

This is an amp for like door speakers. There is no bass control. So no this would not be good for a sub

I use these monitors in my home studio. I record mainly black metal and hardcore and I feel like the bass response is excellent. I've never played Rocksmith, but I can't imagine you'd need a separate subwoofer.

These are great for live music sound in pretty much any small to medium-large venue (the larger the venue, the more you'll need. I can cover a block long street fair easily with just two of these in conjunction with a couple of 18" sub-woofers. They are also fine for DJ scenarios and home theater (a bit overkill) as well. You'll want at least 1000 Watts RMS per channel available to drive them if you are wanting to use for a loud rock band. You would only run them using half that power with the remainder to prevent break-up (distortion and possible damage) during musical peak demands. I would also recommend you use some sort of feedback control/prevention device.

The Sub has a 450w max and 200w rms. You may have trouble with your sattalites. The sub has a really nice response. Takes alittle time to break in. also depends on where you put it, needs some room to breath...But you should be fine. Nice sounding..

This could do it, but it's complete overkill for a home theater setup. Just get a stereo crossover. You don't need to pay for all the extra features this has for live sound.

Probably not. It's design is for open air, and the great thing about this sub is its clear bass. You would get some level of thump inside a closed space, but no quality lows.

Polk has a home series of subs that you may want to look into, this one is made for a car. It would probably sound great indoors if you could properly connect it to your system.

It should be plenty, especially with two subs!I have one sub with a little less power going to it and am very pleased with it.Have fun experimenting, I think that is the best part!

Yes because your sub is powered. It's better if your source has a separate sub, otherwise use the right channel.

I'm on a budget, and am using a Yamaha YST-SW216 powered sub (around $130 here), which works fine.

The sub is quite capable of producing low notes, but you can't use a small sub successfully in a large room. When you add too much volume, the distortion rises quickly. If you have a smaller room or only want to fill out the lowest frequencies to augment existing speakers, then this should work well.
