Hi,
Could anyone recommend a good sub to compliment the EV S200's ? Its
more for small (~100 people) live shows.

Do you think 2 EV S200's per side and 1 sub per side is enough for a
live rock band ? I currently have a pair of EV S200's that I use for
acoustic gigs but I know someone selling another pair, plus I could get
some subs to make a live band P.A. Would I perhaps be better off with
SX200/SX300's instead?

Also can anyone recommend a good cross over to make it all work ?

Cheers,

Mark.

Homebrew or bought finished?

This one is pretty simple to construct:

If you prefer a finished product you could look into the Dynacord F8..

For live rock music I'd get a pair of SX200 / 300 per side instead.. OTOH..
A pair of S200 per side would also be fine considering you already have one
pair ( smaller investment ).. Just make sure you dont clip the amp driving
the S200.. Those HF drivers are not the most durable on the market..

The EV AC-One or the Dynacord Powermax 230 ( essentially the same thing ) is
a nice analog crossover, altho a Behringer CX2310 will work if you are on a
tight budget, but you will notice a big difference when compared to the EV /
Dynacord one

What amps do you currently own, or plan on, to drive this system ?

Peavey make a 2x18 that is pretty good. Also look at yorkville or even an
EAW LA400 which can be bought used for not too much. Behringer amps to power
then.

All depends what you are running through it. What you have will handle
vocals and kick if you are not too loud on stage.

Behringer DCX2496

I use (2 ) homebrew JBLs tentsale 2x15 in smalish ported cabs similar
to Yamahas 2x15. center clustered with 1 sx300 per side. driven by 1
QSC RMX 2450. I think you should try putting significant power into the
sx200 before you buy more. These sx300 just start to open up at 500
plus watts and if you go for more tops you likely need to double up
your Subs compliment! I've done 10 small(<500) outdoor shows and folks
are pleasently surprised everytime.

Are these things actually any good? If yes I might consider this
option, looks like fun!! What'd be a good driver for it?

> What amps do you currently own, or plan on, to drive this system ?

I've currently got a QSC3002 for tops, nothing for subs yet.

Cheers.

Mark.
