Byrdman Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Anybody using these? Interested in any experience. I sold all my SRM450's before moving and need to get an amp. I am a bit worried they are 11db down in max SPL from the 450's (113 versus 124 continuous) but as I never really cranked the 450s I don't think that's a problem. So reliability would be the main question (the 450's were extremely rugged) I like the on-board eq with sweepable mids and the slightly better low end plus they are 4lb lighter (more like 15 from the V1 450's I had) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maze Sound Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I've never been impressed by the thumps. Entry level at best. The SRM's while not the greatest are wayyyy better. Check ebay for some used SRM's. They were abundant and selling relatively cheap a month ago or so.

DanL Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I got a Thump recently. Only used it for 1 practice (pretty low volume) and 1 gig (very loud volume) and I like it. I wear earplugs on the high volume gig, so I'm surely not hearing it with 100% accuracy, but it was clean and plenty loud. I only had it turned up about half way, with my mixer channel and send about half way as well. I was under a tight budget and this seemed to be the best bang for the buck with the eq and other features.

TieDyedDevil Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 You could sail the 7th Fleet through the Thump's midrange hole. At least they're cheap... Oh, wait. No, they're not. Replacing the Tapco badge with the Mackie badge added $100 to the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanL Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 It has a midrange hole reducer on the back, and they are only 50 bucks more than the Tapco!
