Frequently Asked Questions
The EV offers a slightly more focused, less boomy bass response compared to some competitors, but might lack a touch of overall loudness at the extreme low end.
It's genuinely well-built – I've seen these survive some serious abuse on the road. The bracing is solid, and it feels like it can handle the rigors of touring.
You’ll want at least a 1000W amplifier to really unlock its potential and achieve those higher SPLs, though it will function adequately with less power.
