It has a built-in crossover, selectable with a dial. Efficiency isn't great, I think 96, but it should work great with the Bose. I was thinking about hooking it up to mine just to see what it adds.

Don

In regard to subs, there are two ways to go; KB to sub to SS or KB to SS to sub. Aspen(the inventor) has a thread here as well as throughout the huge amount of threads on the SS.

Question: does it have a built in crossover or do you need to use an external one?
Thanks

I've never felt the need for a sub with my Bose Compacts, but I haven't played any really big jobs with them either.
Their frequency range goes down to 65. The Space Station stops at 100.

BTW, Eric, if you buy that sub, used discount code summer10 and get 10 percent off the price.
It ships from Memphis. I ordered it Monday, got it Tuesday.

Thanks Donny. I have the Bose compact which is a different concept than the regular L1's with separate subs.
I have an EV 12" sub. Which is great for larger jobs.
I used it at an Auto museum Anniversary event for 200 people.
Great sound, with lots of bottom end.
For small events I don't need one. It is more for the jobs in-between.... wink
I play a lot of modern dance music, which requires a bit more bottom end I guess... wink
Eric

I forgot: Big price difference between a Bose sub vs the Seismic Audio sub wink ...

I plugged the sub into one of the Bose Compacts during the second half of tonight's job. All I did was run a line from the line out on the Compact into the sub. I really couldn't tell that it added anything. It may not be strong enough to help the Bose. Or maybe the Bose doesn't need help, or maybe I need to hook it up differently.
It made a big difference with the Space Station.

I have decided that I will not keep the Space Station. Don't get me wrong, it is a fantastic and revolutionary piece of gear. I'm just comfortable with what I have, and the challenge of taming my new Ketron SD7 is enough on the plate for now, without dealing with sound adjustments.
I got a really great deal on it, if anyone is interested. Otherwise I will return it to Sweetwater next week.
