[QUOTE="Jim King, post: 206035, member: 156"] Getting a sub would help get you the impact from the band. But I'd avoid just crossing it over from your main L/R out. Feed it with an AUX, and only put your bass-impact instruments into it, not voices. In fact, if you can also high-pass your voices at 100 or more and still have them sound good, you'll have bought yourself a lot of gain before feedback because the sub won't bleed in. I tend to try to push the high-pass as high as I can -- sometimes as much as 160. if it were me, i'd possibly replace your FBTs with something that handles more power smoothly... but placed exactly where your current FBTs are. That's good placement, and it sounds like you've already worked out a bunch. You don't need anything more than something like a pair of QSC K or KW (12 or 15? ... I might even attempt that space with K10s). The size of the space is pretty small. Then add a sub on AUX, and high-pass the vocals. I'd not worry about sub alignment. The space isn't big enough for it to be a problem, and you're getting way more timing issues from your walls and floor than you are from small misalignment. I mean -- nothing wrong with it, but its not your biggest culprit in that room. Just one sub on one side.
