My Madison mas18s are the best single 18" subs I've ever used.   That's them in the middle of the picture below

I am 36 years old. and I have been singing since I could talk.
I have been playing guitar since I was 14. 
I have been playing bass since I was 19.
I have been a sound system/pa buff for roughly 10 years.
I have been a professional bass player though out my 20s and 30s.

There is no substitute for experience...

Since 2001 I have performed at over 400 concerts/public performances. (not to mention 100s before that)
