The S225s can be used with the Mackie S218s subwoofers to create an incredibly powerful
system. The FR Series M•1400 power amplifi ers have a built-in subwoofer crossover. If you are not
using a Mackie M•1400 amplifi er, you can use an active crossover between the fi rst and second
amplifi ers with the crossover set between 125 Hz to 180 Hz. This allows more amplifi er power for
the low frequencies rather than being wasted as heat in the S218s’ internal built-in crossover.
