I'd really love to hear/feel these monsters in action. 1 or 2 would probably be devastating in my little 500 person venue. But what fun is life without some punishment? As you once said Bennett, "you can never have too much subwoofer". With the way things are going, that may be changing ;-)

I'm pretty sure that eight 21" woofers is going to provide enough sub for the Expo to make even Evan happy. :lol:
I have no doubt that it will sound very good. But i dont really see my self lugging a sub of that size. It is triple in size compared with most of the usual double 18's.
Awesome! I have been interested in hearing what folks think of that sub ever since I saw it on McCauley's website.

You have LABs, and it's even a big step up compared to them!
I have 2 M421's-two average men can move them around or load them in a truck with a ramp. They replace 14 conventional double 18 cabs and take up far less room in the truck. I have rented them out to shows featuring the top international DJ's-Tiesto,Deadmau5,Bennie Benassi,Armin Van Buren and David Guetta. The specs are for real. They are the new 'Gold Standard' of high performance subwoofers.
