How's the bass on these? Need to add a sub in addition or do they produce a good, full-spectrum of sound by themselves?

Tropez the speakers are BANANAS!!! U cant go wrong either way.. Use a sub for a large gathering of 500 or more!!

Yes they have a great full spectrum sound, the bass is more than adequate for balance with the mids and highs. Of course adding a sub is never a bad idea, not only makes the mains more efficient but provide a fuller overall bottom. So much depends on your application. If you're a performer or DJ in a packed club environment, you will of course need a sub.

Depends on what you are trying to do. I used mine for a wedding of 150 people and everyone though it was great. I have a friend who uses it as the speaker for his electric bass he plays in a dance band and it works just fine. If you have a 5000 sq. ft. room with 500 people you will need a sub. It may be only 200 watts rms and 1000watts peak, but outdoors cranked up, run by a line in from the headphone jack of a tablet, you can hear it clearly a block away. Use it in your living room and it will cause hearing damage.

absolutely awful, not near the quality I had hoped for and not worth half the money. The amp side is only 250 watts RMS. they claim 1000 watt. not so , not even close. the best way is a QSC amp and a Peavy SP5 scorpion speasker or even aSeismic audio speaker. Don't get ripped off like I did.....

I'm a mobile dj. The sound is pretty broad. I don't use a sub. Check guitar center they are on display there.

They are Ok. I mean, they aren't booming bass, but they are certainly a very broad range of good sound. The bass is legit, but if you want huge bass, I'd suggest getting some bass speakers for your trunk or some stuff like that.

I have mine powered at 50w x4 and I would say the bass is fairly decent, it's punchy, but not very boomy. I definitely recommend backing these up with a small sub. Love the speakers, you won't find a better set for less than triple this price.

I think they would be good. They have a clear, well defined mid-range, not muddled like two larger 'book shelf' speakers I already had. A (small) sub woofer would be a nice contrast.

This is a spl sub, that said they also sound great. They are quite under rated. I'm running a pair of 12's on a SAZ-2500d and they are the most hard hitting subs I've had so far.

They have reasonable bass. As I mention before they have to be broken in to fully appreciate. Bass is not great but good for the price of the speakers. Obviously there are other options out there with better bass and higher quality. If the price is not an issue I would recommend more research to be done.

No, they have terrible bass... Maybe if you have a powerful head unit or drive them with an amp they might have some bass. But other than that, don't expect these to give good bass.

For their size they have good bass. Keep in mind you will never have window rattling lows from any speaker this size. I am very content with them. Get yourself a subwoofer if you really seek thump.

No sir, this is per speaker. I own a pair, they are worth it. Compared to what you get for the same price against the competition they are awesome. You truly don't need a sub with these unless you are looking for true floor rumbling bass.

They have in my opinion a good amount of bass w/ out amplifier. Now with an amplifier these headphones get rediculously loud and the bass does get deeper. Any amp would work even pocket one. These headphones do leak a lot! Seriously they leak a lot! But they do sound great. So honestly you won't be getting the price tag sound with out an amplifier.

I need to clarify something on my last answer... There are no built in subs in these speakers. They have dual 6.5 inch ported woofers. The low end sound they produce are more than adequate for my needs. If you choose to add a separate sub to your system, I feel you won't need much as this model of speaker carries the low end quite well

They're very bright a sub is recommended if you want that low end. Look into a similar priced Rockford or image dynamics if you have some extra cash.

They have have great sound but the subwoofer depends on how deep younwant your bass. I purchases subwoofer with mine and they sound great

I like them. But, I like them a lot better with a separate subwoofer. I have a theater set up with two sets of these and a Polk subwoofer. I do like my all-Polk system better, but it was also more expensive.

I have these in addition to two 12" subs, but without the subwoofers you definitely can't 'feel' the bass from speakers alone.

Remember they are 4 way coaxial speakers, they are going to sound very clear and clean but they don't tend to deliver a lot of bass. It also depends on which door or deck of the car you installed them. My opinion, they are good brand and for the price and the quality of the sound that they deliver it's worth it. If you want a little more bass you can add a subwoofer and amplifier for deeper bass delivery.

Without the sub the bass is really non existent. Truthfully with the sub it's not bad. I don't think anyone would notice unless its cranked all the way up.
