Influx - nope, I’ve never distorted my jbls, my mixes tend to sound OK on them generally. But when I take them downstairs to stick them on my mates hi fi, the bass often sounds too much. Likewise in my girlfrieids car, either the b-line or the kick are often just too big. Not so much distortion as just sounding to large, kind of making everting else sound small...
so ok, consensus seems to be mebbe not so wise to use the thing? shame, the sub is american & although it was free (we've got four of 'em dotted around the house), i just bought a big old power converter ting to make it work... don't suppose anyone wants to buy a big old power converter ting do they... Still, i figure that having some indication of the amount of lowend must be better than nothing tho no? like, if i'm programming a b-line, i'm not really going to have much of a clue about its impact if i just listen on the "hamsters" (!) whereas at least the sub is going to give me a clue about how loud that b-line is in relation to the rest of the stuff in the chewn....? as a short term measure until my bank balance enables me to get some better monitors..???

as for the sub, well...how about selling it, and your current monitors as a means to obtain some monitors that will allow you to hear the bass?
see..one thing here..this is DANCE MUSIC for chrissakes (at least I assume thats what youre doing) its not as precise as some people think, or as rock or r&b etc. the idea is to have a hypey mix that makes people tingle on the floor, no? so a little too much bass is ok I think. not if it drowns stuff out, but
Im surrounded by some perfectionist engineer types, and its starting to wear on me, ya know? I dont want to sound like leftfield or the prodigy. that takes MONEY and theres no way around it. but good mixes are obtainable
guess that brings us back to you needing to get some other monitors
