[QUOTE="Stuart Gerrie, post: 6335, member: 3232"] Hi folks I’ve been looking around a lot and can’t really find a good answer to my question. So sorry if this is something that’s been asked 100 times before but I hope someone’s got some good advice. I’m looking to upgrade my subs which are used a couple of times per week for my wedding band playing for 100-200 people, inside for 3hrs a night, in small-medium sized venues. The system I currently have is a Peavey PV2600 amp (which I plan to continue using and have 2 of) [URL="http://www.peavey.com/products/index.cfm/item/704/116312/PV%26reg%3B2600"]Peavey :: PV® 2600[/URL] and two Wharfedale BLX-15B which I believe are discontinued but look the same spec wise as these only 20cm taller with two ports on the front. [URL="http://www.wharfedalepro.com/Home/Products/CLASSICPRODUCTS/DLXSERIES/DLX15B/tabid/102/Default.aspx"]DLX-15B - DLX SERIES - Wharfedale Pro[/URL] and I use 2 - 12 inch tops with them. So I’m fairly happy with the job these have done however I would like a bit more SPL so that I could use 1sub at smaller venues and 2 if required. Nothing too big or heavy for the van though and I have 2 PV2600 amps so I could run 1 per sub if needed for more power. So let’s say I’m willing to spend up to £500 per box would you. [LIST=1] [*]Spend £200ish on a new 15” woofer and keep the cabs eg. Fane Colossus or eminence kilomax etc. [*]Spend £400ish on a new 15” woofer and keep the cabs eg. Faital Pro 15XL1400 [*]Try to sell the cabs and get a new EV ELX118 or dB Technologies Arena SW 18 or something (so this also brings in the question of 18s or 15s) [/LIST] I know the safe option would be a new box but if I found a driver that matched the cabs and spent the same money on a driver as a whole new sub could I get better results ...or is it likely? Thanks [/QUOTE]
