[QUOTE="Richard Stringer, post: 55728, member: 166"] Re: Need a louder dj monitor Rob, Yeah i've tried just one cab before, that was how it was at first because I bought one MRX515 at a time, and it just wasn't loud enough. I also measured the spl with a class 2 meter, fast response (125ms) and C weighting with pink noise and also tried with a few types of music to give me a more real world reading at 1 metre from the grille and saw 119db, so I knew the 124db continuous spec from JBL's data sheet was fictional, plus it was calculated anyway so what do you expect, lol. I really can't afford any cab more expensive than the ZX5, if I could i'd buy myself an EAW KF650, I remember years back I played at a club which had a KF650 and the dj's were all saying it was insanely loud and they didn't want to run levels any higher so it kept levels out of the red all night. It's not more bass or more punch I need, it's just more overall spl, it needs to be louder so the dj has plenty of power to play with so they never say it's not loud enough and run levels into the red.
