Sounds great, wish it was louder....
Sebsweden 13.06.2014
I bought this to fill out the low end of my little PA. I had two small QSC K8, that sound fantastic, just needed to get a bit more low end.

This bass is really small, weighs close to nothing, and sounds really good. I had a small DJ-gig for about 40 people. I started playing and turned it up. A big warm low end filled the small room, and I was really pleased. After about 30 minutes I raised the volume a little and the small clip-light started flashing - what a shame! I really wanted to keep it, but I just can't use an active subbass with this little power.

Maybe it will be enough for home use, or for the occasional (laid back) garden party. But if you're DJing in front of more than 10 people, forget about it. You will need at least 400-500w.

Other than that, I liked it a lot.

Best value for a buck!

Before I bought this I owned LD Systems Dave10G3 and I truly loved the bass sound. I wanted something with high quality sub with that true LD PA sound into my theatre. So I ordered 88 A and it truly delivers what I wanted.

Even it's small and it seems not to have that much power but it sounds excellent with anything I put throught it. Those two 8" woofers go really low give enough bounch to movies, music and games where I use it.

If you compare this to common home theatre system woofers you get more of the real cinema sound which is one of the reasons we go cinemas at the first place.

5 star product and solid LD Systems quality all the way! I recommend this from home theatres to home studios.

Good Sound in a Small Package
Anonymous 03.03.2014
This must be one of the smallest sub woofers on the market. I was looking for something compact to add a bit of low down punch to my 2 x 10 inch powered speakers, so this fitted the bill.

I have previously used a 15 inch sub which I was finding too heavy and bulky. This unit is really compact. It houses two 8 inch speakers and is really easy to set up. Plug in your kettle lead and you are away! The unit is fairly heavy but not too bulky, so can be lifted easily, you can put your hand in the port and carry it that way one handed.

The quality of the unit is fine, it has a nice crackle black finish.

Try it, you may be surprised.

Remakable suff.

I did not know how much of my favorite rock bands sound I was missing until I got this LD bass box. OK, not just the bass guitar and drum, but a good part of lead guitar, key board & even the singers voice too. This enhances them all.
7 years later, used in live solo performance, this beast is still punching pretty hard. I love it as a seat to sit on, plus its rich, full added sound, seems to pull & hold the punters.
Smooth sounding if used sensibly.

I also do a solo/duo act in bars/coffee houses with guitar/keyboard, I find that siting on this at the microphone, with this connected to the line out on my Marshall AS100D acoustic combo surprisingly brings out a fuller and smoother sound to acoustic (electric) guitar and my voice too. While sitting on the LD bass, I can feel the bass working, the sound is sweet.

Needs a carrying handle though.
UPDATE 24/09/15 Fitted a carrying handle (probably voided the guarantee), but much easier to carry, so gets used more often and for good reason too, sweetens the sound of guitar & voice so much.

Love This

Ideal for adding that extra little bit of umph to your system.
Use this in bars and restaurants just to add a little bit extra to 6" LD wall mount speakers I use for background music.
I like the controls for volume and setting the crossover point.
Tidy, unobtrusive and will fit and look good anywhere.

Great sub for a small room
Kyr_Visuals 01.06.2021
Great sub if you need extra bass but don't have the space for a normal active sub. Great sound, ideal for smaller rooms.

A useful add-on to a full range loudspeaker.
Anonymous 28.06.2014
A pair of these units were added to a pair of Behringer B210D pole mounted loudspeakers, to fill in the 'bottom end'. They certainly added some low end to the mix. The set up is used to provide recorded orchestral backings in churches, etc. for a classical operatic singer. In this environment they work well.

Fine sub
Anonymous 13.03.2023
The sub is fine for small house party's.
I have a pair of dB B-Hype 10's, planned to use it in garden for small parties or BBQ's, but did not have one yet. I placed the sub alongside my stereo HiFi setup as a test and kept it there since it is not to big (so it not to much in the way) and like the subtle low-end extension. Probably it is not as good as a closed sub with a lower SPL for that purpose but it works!

I would have loved a full cross-over circuit built in (stereo in, and HPF out for both channels) but for me it probably will not be much of a problem since my tops will be fine running full range.
