Re: SRX718 to 'what powered/active sub?'
Matt,
The various Mitus 118SA presets would change the charted raw response of the band pass cabinet to different curves, just like messing around with graphic or parametric EQ would.
The cabinet output level potential ultimately would be the same, which if the raw response curve is accurate, would indicate it would have about 2 dB less output at 40 Hz than a SRX 718 powered at about 1000 watts, while the Mitus would have perhaps as much as 10 dB more output around 70 Hz.
It would be worth a listen to hear if the extra SPL compared to sound quality is worthwhile.
My experience thus far with ported band pass designs is the sound quality hit is not worth the sensitivity gain, but I'm not a fan of droning bass.
