I'm looking to buy some 18" subs. I have the QSC k12.2 tops and am on the fence about which subs to get. I've been all over the internet looking for information on the 2 subs. I haven't really found too much on the ETX subs. On paper the ETX look pretty good and are newer technology. I would be using the subs for live music as well as djing. I'm looking for the sub that would be suitable for both applications. As far as djing goes I play a variety of different genres of music.
I've listened to JBL, EKX and the QSCkw181 in person. I have yet to find a place that has an ETX I can demo. I did a side by side of the kw181 and the EKX and I thought the EKX was more musical than the QSC but not as loud. I have also read that the EKX and the ETX has limiting issues. I know the limit warning light comes on a little early but I've also read that the ETX actually limits a bit early too.
Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. I called QSC today to ask them if they had any new 18" subs in development and they said they didn't. I was hoping that if they had some new 18" subs in development it might sway my decision and I would wait for a new release from them. I'm not really interested in deviating from these two subs. I'd really just like opinions regarding the ETX and the KW...Anyway....Thanks
