The Mackies I had overheated alot, in fact almost EVERY time I pushed them for any length of time. I doubt that it would happen if I used a separate sub, and kept them up on sticks, but on the floor - near corners, and on carpet ... there is just not a great air flow to keep them cool. Sound is terrific when they are "on". Closest to real studio tone of all 4.

I fully agree with Dave's statement....
I had the 450's six months...
overheated 5x on stage,
very embarassing! Sold them immediatly.....buyer beware!
