[QUOTE="Silas Pradetto, post: 1349, member: 34"] OK, so I'm looking at powered subs. I know they're going to be either the JBL PRX618S-XLF or the VRX918SP. Now I have heard the PRX and I have heard the SRX718 (same box as VRX918, without the amp), and they both sound great. However, it wasn't side-by-side. On specification alone, the PRX has 1000 watts and the VRX has 1500 watts, with the same woofer, but the PRX claims 7dB more output (133dB vs 126dB). The boxes are close in size- the PRX box actually has a larger volume (by exterior dimensions), coming in at 9.2 cubic feet, while the VRX comes in at only 8.3 cubic feet. To save you the time, here are links to the [url=http://www.jblpro.com/catalog/support/getfile.aspx?doctype=3&docid=581]VRX918SP[/url] and the [url=http://www.jblpro.com/catalog/support/getfile.aspx?doctype=3&docid=1550]PRX618S-XLF[/url] The price of the two boxes is pretty close, the PRX is about 33% less than the VRX. My main uses are small SOS gigs, rentals, drum fill, and bass fill. I have yet another idea: buy the VRX918SP amp module and put it into an SRX718S box...I need to check on pricing, but I bet it would save all of that 33% difference in price! Which would you buy, and why? [/QUOTE]
