This is some stuff I look at when looking for new speakers, or, in this case, subwoofers. This video covers a lot with looking how to figure out how loud your new speakers may be and how to see how they will work with your amplifiers that you already have. This video looks at these subs:

JBL JRX118s
Peavey SP218
JBL SRx728s
Martin WS18x
Martin S218+

The prices I have listed are approximate. I do not have a direct link to the Martin sub prices.

  • if i were to buy a pair of SRX728s what would be a good power amp to run these speakers?, if i were to buy 2 pairs of SRX728s, the watts will double, but is the ohms will remain 4 ohms or 8 ohms? and what power amp would be good to run the 2 pairs of SRX728s?

  • I would look for an amp that will do 3500-4000w into 4 ohms with proper processing though you could get by with 3000w. If you were to purchase a second pair you would need a second amp. That's the easiest way of doing it.

  • ok im a mobile DJ with 2 jrx125s powered by a behringer ep2500 amp. would it be ok to add the jrx118 powered into the system, or is it bad to have powered and un powered speakers in one system?

  • that shouldn't be a problem at all. Might want to try experimenting with where you cross over your sub or if you want to cross over your tops at all. Good luck to you!

  • you've really taken a mathematical approach to your subwoofer search...

    I looked for an active sub, at least 400-500w RMS, and small in size (so a double 15 or 18 is out of the question).

    I ended up getting a Yorkville Elite LS700P, 700W, dimensions (inches) 24.5 x 24 x 17.5, 90lbs and Max SPL 131 dB
