Absolutely. Did you get the KC12 columns?? Man I'd love to get those but it's more of a "want" than a "need". The struggle is real though! Are you thinking 1 column and one K112? Honestly I've done both where I've had too much sub and too little sub but it won't make or break your event, especially a wedding. You don't want to overkill the crowd with too much bass so I think you'll be golden.

@@thedopestshop_ I am getting the QSC columns next week but I went up to Chuck Levins and listened to them on a good quality mixer and I have to tell you they sound much better than my RCF Eox 8 and clairty is better than the Evox 12 but the power is in between them both. I would be getting 2 columns and 1 sub. I would only add the sub for 150 or more guest. Most of the time my weddings are about 100 guest. The QSC 12 inch sub sounded great to.

Update: So i purchased a EV EKX15sp and will be doing a comparison. I need and have wanted a pair of matching subs and the ekx 15 is extremely light and compact and as I get older (41 soon) I’m looking to be more portable and make my life easier. A lot of bass is awesome but convenience is key and I’m all about that going forward. Great channel by the way!

@@DjTecniq Dude I've been meaning to respond to your first comment. I've been trying to do some research and also mimic your issue on the limiting. Maybe it's your tracks-doubtful but I don't have a good answer yet other than yeah maybe it's the version track you have or maybe you don't think you're pushing it but you really are lol (guilty). Also totally hear you about being compact because it does make a difference-I'm 41 and my thought process has totally shifted when it comes to equipment. You said it right: a lot of bass is amazing but it comes with a price for you and your setup. Not saying you need to ever cut corners but saying that a lot of times-us as the DJ's want that premium bass feel and sound and there's nothing wrong with that, but the reality is that it can be too much for some gigs and venues. At the end of the day as a mobile DJ-your job is to entertain and create the atmosphere/energy and the majority of the audience are not audiophiles and won't walk away saying "wow I wish there was more bass" lol. I actually just got a pair of CP8's and paired them with my KS112's for a compact setup and I was actually really happy with it. I'm going to make a video soon on a more compact setup.

@djbeachkng8931 So just to be clear your KS112's aren't limiting out at all? I have exactly a KS212c, KW181 & a EV EKX15sp. Both the 212c & EKX15SP limit out too fast as single subs. What's interesting is I keep going back to the 212c and using it more however I hate how wide it is and now thinking of a pair of KS112s and sell the EKX15SP & 212C. The 112s are just shorter and not as wide and I hear they hit great. I also have a pair of LD ICOA 12's and damn they sounded good with the 212c. decisions decisions lol...

Most of the popular name brands are internally just a bunch of Chinese parts

I have lots of great Chinese lights.

You are still under warranty get it looked at cause QSC subs should not be cutting off. However I have heard of issues with the K12.2s powering off as well...QSC has some quality control issues that is certain however my OG K10's are still going after like 12 yrs...not 1 problem. They don't make em like they used to imo.

What you mean two XLR out of sub into 1 cord or what?

Perfect! I used this logic and just bought 2 of the ks112s. I will use them exactly how you mentioned. However, they are on back order and won’t ship until January 😢

@@keithr.hammonds6653 how's it now?

@@tristanjaysiquian8900 Still haven’t purchased the subs yet. Been playing with just the K.2 tops and I am thoroughly impressed!! Still planning on purchasing the subs sooner than later.

@@keithr.hammonds6653 I have cp8 and a ks112. It's super satisfying. I set the cp8 to default ext sub and the experience is like Wow! Cp8 s crystal clear and the sub has soft quality Sound. I'll buy another ks112.

@@tristanjaysiquian8900 Hey, that’s awesome!! I can’t wait to add a sub to the mix !!

I'm debating the 112 vs KW181, what are your thoughts?

@@ConnahJay depends on the type of events you do, how many people and the venue. I love the KS112. Its so light, built in casters, fits in a compact car and packs a really nice punch. I also have never seen it limit even when maxing it out. I sold my EV ELX20018 because at -1 they would limit. If you do medium to smaller parties/venues the ks112 is fantastic. My favorite sub. If you got over 180 people typically, then the bulkier heavier 181 will be best.

@@djdashdfw I do a lot of smaller-mid tier weddings, I’ve been getting by using 3x QSC K12.2’s all these years… I’ve never owned a subwoofer. I do school events on occasion but mainly having a small footprint and easy of transportation is a big plus for me. If the KS112 don’t suck, I’m fine with limitations of the smaller woofer.

@@djdashdfw I have a DJ friend who will sell me excellent condition KW181 for $850. But I’m worried about transportation or if I will even need it most the time.

@@ConnahJay ive only ever used it once, it bumps for sure, and it will come in handy for 200 ppl plus events, but I do only 60 to like 150 ppl events and I love the portability and sound of the ks112. $850 is a great deal though. I too use k12.2s

I totally love them I had a hard time choosing but there I can move them by myself and they really go low

Thanks for the reply--this video is probably due for a refresh but thanks for watching. I live and die by QSC, I've never had an issue and I will always just use QSC-worth every penny.

Here's someone walking through the settings of a similar light in detail. ua-cam.com/video/ff7uRjebO0w/v-deo.html

I'm not sure I understand the question. Which sub are you referring to?

@@TheCD2009 the qsc kw181

​@@travisgulley2652 I'l keep this as simple and non scientific. You can browse forums and see everyones biased opinions on what THEY think as far as SPL, speaker placement, flooring, etc. Good luck weeding through forum comments lol, don't waste too much time. The 181's have been used by many, many DJ's in these exact venues and I doubt you will find someone say they "don't work" in a gym or cathedral setting. The 181's are amazing subs and tried and true. You'll want at least a pair. 2-4 would handle ANY type of event in a setting like this. Not sure if this helps but be confident in the 181s, they're amazing.

I appreciate the comment and I should probably do a more current review on this-it's overdue. I'm glad to hear you mention the 118 and 181's aren't practical. They're amazing and ideally we'd have a venue or place that for those but the reality with smaller venues and parties (currently), it's just a lot to bring. I'm doing a house party next week and even 1 of my k12.2's is too big lol. I think there is a real value in getting a micro setup and I think that's where you're question of the 112 vs 212 comes into play. My personal opinion would be #1, keep renting until you're booked out to the point of it being a hassle to pick up and drop off rented equipment. Subs don't hold good resell values so until you forecast your future bookings and find your sweet spot to where the sub is paid off, then just rent. This is going to be different for everyone but I always encourage renting and putting your money towards DJ pools, marketing, etc. LASTLY (lol on my long tangent), I personally would skip the 212. It does sound better than the the 112 obviously but I'm in the mindset of a micro-setup and a "non-microsetup". As a QSC guy, my micro has the CP8 and the 112 (small venue obviously). I will be honest though in the thought that I've looked at the EV 30m. The non-micro then has the 12.2s and either the 181's or (1) 118. I personally like a pair of 181's or I'm good with a single 118. So-back to your question: hard pass for me on the 212. You want to be able to go up or down, not really in the middle and that's where I put the 212-go big or smaller. Let me know your thoughts.

@@djbeachkng8931 thank you for the great insight! I agree that renting is the way to go for the 181 or 118 for now since we don’t do large events enough to purchase. Do you think that the 112 is better than the Ksub? As I mentioned before, the ksub worked perfect for most of our gigs and I wanted to get a second set up for another one of our DJ’s for the dates we are double booked. If the 112 is better or at least as good as the ksub, I’ll lean towards that. I should add that our usual setup is with a set of 10.2’s and one ksub. For larger events we would use 12.2’s and one or 2 181’s depending on the size of the event. For the most part 10.2’s and the ksub has been working perfect for us. There were some events where the venue asked to reduce the bass but there was never a time when I received a comment that there wasn’t enough bass. We do primarily weddings that range from 50 to 250 people but I’ve found that the ksub works because the loud bass is usually only during the open dance time and focused on the dance floor which is usually averages about 50-70 people. I’ve actually noticed that when we have the 181’s the older guests tend to leave when open dance starts because it’s too loud and travels farther. I figured the 212 would be the sweet spot for having one in between the ksub and 181 in case we need a little more bump. However a huge factor for our DJ’s is portability which is making me rethink the 112.

@@sephystar amazing and I like what you're doing here. 10.2's and a ksub really is so versatile. I will say this, the 112 replaced the ksub so if you're comparing those, I think its a bit of a lateral move. The 112 has a lower frequency and is around 10lbs or so lighter so that's a plus. Portability is king in my books so I personally stick to the 112 or up to a 181 or 118. No real need for a middle ground, that's what the k10's will do provide for you. The k10's will give that midrange that you don't get with the column speakers so the 10.2's and a ksub or 112 gets the job done. On a different note: I'm about to record a new video on my newest setup: my micro-setup. I have been showing up lately to small parties and I only have 12.2's so it's been major overkill. I decided to go with the QSC CP8's and my ks112--such a versatile setup and opens new doors to show a smaller package to people and also not lug in a ton of equipment for a small backyard party. The CP8 I will use as a booth monitor and also I have an external battery to use it at ceremonies. Obviously I'm a QSC guy so I'm excited about this but overall--my biggest thing was getting a micro-system so now I'm pretty set to play to any size event that I do--I'm a small time guy here. You have the 10.2's which is great but I'm telling, I've been very impressed pairing my CP8's with the 112 sub. It's a clean setup also.

@@djbeachkng8931 I love the 10.2’s because they are super versatile. I think you convinced me to go with the 112 mostly because of the portability. I’ve been eyeing the 212 for a while but the pure fact that it’s larger and heavier than the ksub is a negative for me. Thanks for the feedback and looking forward to your next video!

My best advice from this comment: “just starting out”-RENT a sub. Do not buy a sub until you’re booking in advance or you’ll spend a bunch of money and just sit on it. SPEND your money on quality tops. I have 12.2s and I love them. Don’t skimp on the tops or get enticed by cheap prices at guitar center. The only 2 regrets I’ve had on equipment I purchased was the first 2 tops I ever bought, they were cheap Altos and I got what I paid for. Did one event with them, returned them, and shelled out the money for the QSCs and never once regretted that. Other regret was buying my first sub, I used it a couple times over a long period starting out and then it was old and didn’t hold great value selling it used. Every DJ and venue is different but you can do a lot of gigs with 2 quality tops, no sub. There’s obvious ones you want/need subs but a lot of parties are totally sufficient with the tops in my opinion. Hold onto your money until you’re confident you’re going to make something happen, if not this will just become an expensive but fun hobby lol.

Thanks man! Much appreciated and let us know if you bought or what you're buying

I was wondering the same

@@theofficialvontae I actually went ahead and bought one for my solo acoustic gigs. It is fantastic. Adds so much professionalism to my show. Don’t hesitate. Chauvet also makes a killer 4 PAR tree that runs on Bluetooth. I control those and this strip all from my phone. Great stuff.

I too am a solo acoustic dude. Will this stay on without flashing with multiple colors?

@@davidwatson3456 oh yeah. You have full control over them with the BT Air app. I usually keep mine on a slow fade through the entire spectrum but you can keep it fixed on a single color if you prefer.

@@VirtualWoodshed do you place the T3 on the ground or up when you do acoustic gigs?
