Today's DJ have to play everything and it better sound great with lots of bass. I Love the bose F1 subwoofer because they are lightweight and powerful. I don't need a crew and U-haul truck to move speakers. By itself the speakers sound flat so, A little tweak on the DBX DriveRack PA2 with the EQ and compression. After that Magic, Vibes and the dance floor.

Great sound, good portability.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had two F1 Subs now for about a year and a half. They have taken a lot of hours of play and still sound great. The latch for the stand on one has broken due to stiffness. But overall they perform well even with the overload light goes red. I am happy with the F1 Subs.

Believe the hype.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had my F1's (mains and subs) out for almost 2 years now. These are rock solid speakers. Great design, great sound quality, lightweight, durable, and dependable. Best sound purchase I've made in years. When I bought these, I was dealing with some serious back problems, and their light weight/output level was a real selling point. What has impressed me, since buying them is how dependable and versatile they are. I mixed a seven piece soul band last Saturday for a wedding with 150 people with no issues. Plenty of headroom, solid lows all night long. The internal cross-over is really well designed. I never need external processing with these. Anyway- thanks for the great product.

i have a numark m6 usb mixer with two ndx500 cd units. can i hook two 812's and two f1 sub's to this system ? if so , how ?
Asked by: Phillip
I assume you are speaking of the powered models. Yes. Take an XLR out of the mixer to the input of the 812 and set for 'line level'. Position the 'EQ' switch to 'with sub'. Connect the outpout of the speaker to the sub input.

question

Could the F1 with or without the sub be a replacement gear for bass amp and cab (2X10) as a kit for a bass player...?
Asked by: GILLES C.
The F1 is an excellent loudspeaker, but it would not be my choice product to use for a Bass rig. The F1 alone will lack the extended low frequencies you would need as a bass player. Using the sub in this case is recommended if you want to use the F1 to replace a traditional bass head and bass stack.

How does these speakers amps stay cool for heavy DJ use such as a wedding reception?
Asked by: Raymond
No worries! Convection cooling is common for powered speakers in this class. It is also known as passive cooling. There are no fans.
