Rockville SPGN158 15" Passive 1600W DJ PA Speaker - Lightweight ABS Cabinet, 8 Ohm - Perfect for Live Music, Parties & Events

Decent speakers when they work and no problem with replacement Amazon did right thing I need it back for a specific date and they made I got it back on timeGood speaker takes about 400 watts clean. 2 makes drum practice and band practice sessions great.I bought 2 of these for basically home theater speakers that would double as instrument speakers for my kids' bass and guitars and such. I started with a Rockville amp and then a large amp mixer. Both had problems, such as too much stand by presence/noise. Ended up pushing them with a massive Pyle karaoke receiver. 8kW I believe. Using a small mixer to interface. Sound was still wak, really. So I bought a large car amp and a couple 30a power supplies and got to work.First, disconnect a 15. Reconnect it to your output. I made a parallel rca output for more subs. In my case each rca out goes to 2 10s in the couch. Now feed the circuit with an additional speakon cable from your amp. While open, unscrew the absurd tweeter. Drill a hole in the storage door and put it through that with a 90 because it's just really poorly matched, but powerful. Now because of the hole it leaves at the top, you are ported enough for the mid 15 but not enough for the sub. I made the upper speaker my sub for personal preference but most people prefer the lower for acoustics. To port it further, I drilled 2" holes next to the upper 15's. For serious bass music, open the mesh front and add loose cotton from pillows. THEN hot glue the sub magnets and metal housing seam because they rattle... Look people, you gotta pay to be a player. The 2 of these together is less than a used Marshall amp. I have around a grand in the my sound system and it does what I want. The stacks were about 600 after protection plan. 200 for the receiver. 100 for the amp. 25 each for 4 red label Pyle 10s, 100 for mixer and various cables, 30 for a good eq, 2 40" sound bars 50 each used like new ;) Jifar is killing the cheap projector game, so jot that down.If you are still getting reverberation within the speakers, put the left channel sub to the right box and vice versa. I pulled off the mesh and added weather stripping before reseating it over cotton fluff. If I could have gotten the boxes with no speakers at a significant discount, I'd have done that.This review is for the 15" Passive SPGN158 speakers from Rockville... I already own a pair of 12" passive speakers from Rockville so the bump up to the 15" was to accomodate a bit more overhead that was needed when piping 2 guitars (lead and rhythm), Bass guitar, two microphones for vocals and two additional microphones for drums (kick and single overhead on boom stand) for when we play out. The 12's are awesome but just don't provide enough headroom for the vocals in my opinion. For clarity, I'm using the Rockville 8 channel powered board for all of this and its pushing things pretty good for small venues so the addition of a pair of 15's are just so the sound is larger - in context - compared to the sound of the 12's -- now sure some are gonna say it should'nt make that much of a difference but I am here to tell you that practically, on the ground, in actual use, it does make a huge difference. The SPGN158's don't sound - what's the word... THIN like the 12's do at higher volume (6+ on the board) but at lower volume levels are fantastic sounding. The 15's have a better, deeper, more rich, fuller type of sound that really just makes everything sound so much better. I'm going to buy two more for sure just to help spread the sound out even better. Having four 15" mains should do really well for almost everywhere we play and turning the 12's into floor monitors courtesy my Rockville RPA9 amp plus the other monitors I have should significantly improve things across the board. Can you tell that I like Rockville products? You will too. Recommend you purchase a pair of the 15's for yourself. I for one have been very pleased so far with everything from Rockville.I needed to build a PA system for the local high school marching band. I wanted something efficient, lightweight, and with a high watts rating, so I purchased the Rockville SPGN124 12" Passive 1200W DJ PA Speaker ABS Lightweight Cabinet 4 Ohm. This speaker delivered on each of those elements.What I was not expecting was the speakers to sound so good.Seriously, every time I turn them on someone comments on just how good they sound. And they sound as good from 300 feet away as they do from 50 or 10 (with the amps turned to the right levels, of course).The 12" speakers don't offer a ton of bass, but that is to be expected, and it is OK for my application (reinforcing mallet instruments and amplifying the keyboard).I hope to purchase the 15" speakers for my next project. If they're half as good as the 12's, I'm sure to be pleased.Oh yeah, and everything I said above is true regardless of price. The fact that I was able to purchase these for under $100 each makes them quite a steal.One thing that might be of interest - the Speakon connectors are hard wired so that channel 1 is also connected to channel 2. In other words, if you want to use these speakers in a bi-amp configuration then you're going to have to do some modifications. If you know what that means, then you probably have the skills to re-solder the jacks inside the speaker. On the other hand, if that doesn't mean anything to you, then you should be just fine.not the greatest sound at high volume when the blue led indicator light gets bright, but well enough for small talking and background music gigs, definitely not for a band or dj that has to fill a larger room.Très contentBon qualités prix
