While it's always good to have more sub then top, you went a little lopsided since the 312a are RCF entry level while the 4pro is from their higher end gear. That said I am sure it STILL sounds sweet.... I have looked at the RCF 4Pro 8003-AS as an option in the past & if it wasn't for its' price (a little over $1,800 each) then it would of been a contender in my line up of options.Originally Posted by d4zzle

Anyone using the QSC KW181 with the 312s? The 12 month payment plan from Zzounds is really tempting me to get a system...
That is a good combo from a performance stand point as long as you're fine with the size, weight, price.

Nice. I'd need an external xover right? I don't believe either has one built in.
The QSC HPR 181i has a built in 100hz HPF L/R output that would work fine with the 312a but a full featured dedicated DSP would yield more versatility & performance from the system.

Yeah i know they are a massive overkill for the 312's but the 312's came first, before i had any subs. Whilst looking for subs to match the 312's, i looked and listened to the 7 series RCF subs and whilst cheaper and a good match, the 8003's were available new to me at roughly only £250 more each. (£900 ish each). Once i was demoed the 8003's i had to have them. The air they can move is quite magicalThe 8003's are more than happy running at half volume.
I can now look at updating the 312's to a higher quality speaker and know my subs are still gonna rock.
If starting from scratch now and I was buying tops and subs at the same time, then no, i wouldn't buy this combo. but hey, they still sound great together, as the 312 is a great budget speaker.

Ah, I was referring to the KW 181, not the HPR.
OK, in that case you're going to require external processing.

Figured, thanks.
I just bought a 4 Pro just to update. Be here in about 10 days.
