[QUOTE="Vinny D'Agostino, post: 25782, member: 112"] Re: QRx218 & Xi1191 Questions My QRX218's were one of the boxes Bennett got to tune, believe me, it makes a HUGE difference in there performance. I ran them for a little over 2-1/2 years, they are a good sounding box as mentioned but they are limited in what they can do when compared to other similar priced 218's on the market. For me the QRX218 fit my major need perfect, that was my truck pack issue. The size of the QRX is what made my decison for me, and I also have had great luck with EV products. I never played with any DSP or messed around with system tuning such as SMAART, I always did okay with just using my ears. And I was fine with that up until a year ago when I purchased a Yorkville LS801P, plain and simple the Yorkie will stomp the crap out of the QRX218. This bothered me...alot! I did everything to try and improve the performance of the QRX218, I changed my sub amp to an IT8000, asked a billion questions on how to setup the DSP. Still.....was not happy. Finally got someone to come down and SMAART my rig (thanks again Bennett) and it did make a difference....still not sure if the QRX218 would keep up to the LS801P but at least now it would give it a good fight. There is some wicked EQ that needs to go on with the lower freq. of the QRX218 to get it to perform, when it is EQ'd the box really came to life and I was much happier with them. Still didn't pass up the opportunity to sell them though when the chance came up. I did pass along the DSP settings that Bennett came up with and I hope there new owner tries to apply them because it helps those cabs out a bunch. Long story short...if you buy the QRX218 have someone SMAART your rig (or I can send you the settings I had), or...save some money and buy a pair of Yorkville LS801P's. [/QUOTE]
