We are a small venue oldies/country band, playing at car shows and small town fairs. The band is a guitar, bass, keyboard and a drummer playing a Roland digital kit. We mix all mics and instruments through a Yamaha board, then out to the amps/speakers. Since pro sound is not provided at these small venues, we have our own PA system. Our old passive system was 2 Yamaha S115IV mains and 2 Peavey 18” subs. We used 2 Tapco amps with a stereo crossover. We typically adjusted the crossover away from the bass side, as it would get pretty “boomy.”We’ve upgraded our mains to a pair of EV ZLX-15 powered speakers. We want to add a sub, but wanted some of your opinions on what direction to take. Our options would be:Buy a single EV powered 18” sub. Our thinking is that 1 would be plenty, based on our previous experience.Buy a pair of smaller powered subs, with a 12” or 15” speaker. Any advice or opinions would be appreciated!
