personally i like the makie swa-2801 powered subs granted i dont have a pair but i have seen them used with great sucsess there a dual 18" and about $1800 us but i use all non powered stuff my self.
 
I have not used any of the B-52, but I have heard them in other setups and they are, in my opinion, no where near as good as the JBL, even the JRX series. I would recommend the MRX series or if you can find some used MPros, by JBL. I do have the Mpros and they are great, plus they have a second channel of the amp that can power an additional passive sub or top cabinets.

I have heard the Mackie 18's and they sound very good also. They are large though.
 
thank for the help. im a one man mobile dj so i need something i can carry by my self. do u have any other suggestions
 
hey chansin are the mpro jbl powered
 
I use a B-52 system. The 18"sub and 10' satillites unit.

It serves my needs.

I recently played a 400 person Halloween Family Party with it. It's small enough that I can lift myself (please note I'm 6'4"tall and 300lbs, that's just the sub enclosure - NOT the entire system ;-p).

Basically with a good soundcard and good quality mp3's (encoded AT LEAST at 192kbps) this little sound system is perfect for mobile guys.

There's much better equipment available - but for dollar value I've been very impressed with the system I purchased. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another.
 
i just got the b-52prodigy fx dj work station its a mixer w/2 cd/mp3 players . I am hoping to set it up w/ vdj time code. any body else using the b-52. I AM TRYING TO REPLACE THE HERCULES MK2 TO CONTROL VDJ
 
HEY DJ MARCEL HOW DO U THINK THA T B-52 SYSTEM WOULD HOLD UP TO THE JBL EON, JBL JRK 118 PWRD SYSTEM I HAVE
 
DJ MARCEL I THINK I SAW YOU VIDEO ON U TUBE ON HOW TO MIX W/VDJ ---I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS VERY GOOD!!
 
Hi Kev.

I really don't know how any speaker system would fair against another. As I mentioned - I bought what I thought would suit my needs.
I've been happy with my Purchase.


I'm glad you enjoyed the vid. I've gotten a lot more response to that vid than I ever expected.
 
I currently use one QSC HPR151 15" Powered Subwoofer with my JBL 15" Eon G2's and think it compliments them nicely and is perfect for small to medium venues. the QSC has built in high pass outs to go to the JBL's. The QSC is a bit heavy but I have no problem moving it around myself with a dolly/cart.

They come in powered and a passive version. The passive is usally driven off the other channel of the powered Mpro. I actually use 2 non powered Mpro subs for most events, they are light and small.
 
Personally, I use an Cerwin-Vega Earthquake. It handles a 1000 person high school dance in a gym without breaking a sweat.
 
Community Loudspeakers all the way baby....
