There is a DEEP switch too that gives it extra low end at the expense of headroom. It sounded significantly better than the less expensive Behringers and Harbringer(?) I heard next to it. Unfortunately, he couldn't get the Mackie SRM450 to play because it wasn't hooked up. Oh well. I'm sure the Mackies were in the same ballpark soundwise.

Oh yeah, they do get loud too. But I already knew they would have the headroom I needed.

Yes it is an assumption as indicated by my use of the word, probably, but it is based on experience with 10 inch speakers. For example, the Mackie SRM350v2, which has a 10-inch speaker, is down 3 dB at 83 Hz. I wouldn't want a speaker's bass response to begin to drop off above the low E of a guitar.
