Loudest and Lowest subwoofers for the money...no size limit
Michael Leppert:
Hey guys I'm new here and was looking for advice regarding a purchase I'm looking to make on behalf of my fraternity.
We are looking to buy some new sound equipment, mainly subs to complement out existing equiptment. Right now we have three rooms to fill with music in the basement and right now only 2 Mackie SRM1850's which get moved around a lot. Two of the rooms can get just one sub due to either their intended usage or size but the main party room needs new equiptment.
Right now I am looking to get 2 EV EKX18SP's used for 650 a piece. I would like to get active subs because the setup of them is a bit more idiot proof than a passive setup with amps.
Here's the thing, most of the advice I see online is regarding portability but we have no size or weight limit. It is basically a permanent install for these and we just want to get the loudest deepest sound for the money. Budget for subs is around 1500 tops and used vs new equipment doesn't matter.
If anybody has any advice on equipment I should look out for on eBay or Craigslist that would be awesome.

My first question would be where are you? Shipping subs can eat up a budget pretty quick.

Indiana, the EKX's I found were 650 shipped used.

Might be a bit over your budget, but it's a hell of a sub.
