  • @DJBennyswift
    @DJBennyswift Před 10 měsíci +3

    I had to come back to this video, I have the 15” sub and now I’m starting to move into events that are a bit bigger. I’m going to invest in the 18” sub because I need a bigger sub, of course, there are subs with big power out there but I’m still on a budget and I’m not trying to break my back either. But I like the review and came back to it just to have a bit more clarity. Thanks Barr!!!!!

    One question, when you play using a bluetooth source, is the sub also playing or does it work only when you connect to it via a mixer?

  • @DJBennyswift
    @DJBennyswift Před rokem +2

    Thanks for this review, I’ve been having my 2 Thump 215XT’s and 15” sub woofer since October 2022 and they sound great, I was looking for a video about using the feedback and ducking, I see you have to connect the mic to the speaker directly in order for it to work. I connect my mains into a Mackie 8 Channel board and the sub woofer in to the Aux/send to have full control of them which sounds awesome! Thanks for the video

    Are the mackie thump 15 super loud and crisp? Just wondering how well they would sound with my current 4 sound town 18 inch active subs. I am using 2 proreck 15 inch loudspekers now and they just do not have that crisp sound once the volume is really jacked up

  • @theaverageguy3884
    @theaverageguy3884 Před rokem +1

    Will this setup be much louder than 2 x JBL Partybox 1000 ? Im a mobile Dj hosting small events with my Pioneer XDJ-XZ controller. I need louder better speakers and subs. But the Mackie 15" and 18" Thums are to expensice for me.

    • @Studpum
      @Studpum Před 11 měsíci

      This setup of two 215’s and one 118 sub will get louder, clearer, and deeper than the two JBLs. You lose out on the portability of course, but depends on what exactly you’re looking for. If you enjoy a quick setup then keep the JBL. If you want to expand and do larger events then look into larger PA speakers like these.
      I have this setup and it gets absolutely insanely loud with rich bass
