Just finished a tuba 24 build, loving it for EDM and synth stuff with the low bass. Looking at a titan 39 next for regular bass drum / upright bass / sousaphone shows.
I roll in with an assortment of XLRs but do not have (nor want) much in the way of speaker cables. Ideally id love to be able to set my amp (Crown XLS 1000) on top of the sub and stay with a 3' speaker cable. but that rumbling might be bad for the amp? What if I just used a chunk of foam between them? Other ideas? Lots of conflicting opinions on the interweb...

Re: setting power amps on subwoofers?
Not gonna hurt a thing. My Crown XLS amps live in a trailer and get bumped around way more that a few low notes will cause....Colorado Hick wrote: ↑Thu Sep 11, 2025 3:28 pm Just finished a tuba 24 build, loving it for EDM and synth stuff with the low bass.
