I'm needing to put together a small system that will be mainly used for folk, jazz trio or quartet, or bluegrass.  Crowd size will be around 200-250.  I'm leaning towards a pair of K10.2's and I'm wanting a sub, or subs, to go with them.  I've listened to a pair of KW181's that I wasn't too crazy about.  Name a sub that I should check out.  Thanks.

What didn’t you like about the KW118? I don’t own any now, but used to have several of them and thought them  to be quite respectable in their class.
I was going to initially suggest the new Yamaha DXS12MKII, but if you didn’t dig the QSC, the Yamaha likely won’t do it for you either.

if you’re going k series tops, the 181 is going to be hard to beat.  They integrate very well and with a touch of eq you can roll off early and control the DJ flab...

JTR Captivator 212 Pro
Danley THMini15
Yorkville ES18 (probably only need 1 for what you are using them for)
EV ETX/EKX series
EV ZXa1 for super small/light

JTR Captivator 212 Pro

+1

65-lbs
Real-life output to 40Hz (rated for 39dB +/- 3dB)
Serious SPL
Excellent support from Jeff at JTR

Anyone who knows Jeff understands that he under-promises and over-delivers on everything. The C212Pros are currently my "go to" sub for everything.

AXPONA 2018 - live sound hall measured 100-feet by 60-feet with 25-foot ceilings. 300-ish people in attendance. Two subs were more than enough for the space.

Depth Charge 2018 - outdoor venue at a brewery, 1500-1600 people in attendance. Four C212Pros center clustered and we had plenty of low-end grunt. Took advantage of some free gain, compliments of the stage being corner loaded against the building, but still... holy cats.

And, the powered versions draw about 185-watts each under load. Incredible.

One of my favorite combos is 2 DSR112 with 4 C212Pro.

Tell us about the venues.  Indoors or outdoors?  What sort of size, shape, and ceiling height?

Indoors, 40' wide, 60' deep, 23'ceiling, square room.

Indoors, 40' wide, 60' deep, 23'ceiling, square room.

1-2 JTR C212Pros will fill that room with more bass than you could ask for.
