After a few shows, I believe I've pushed my two UCS1's to its limit... and perhaps that it's even the wrong sub for the music I play.
Background: I usually provide the sound for the second dance room (no bigger than 30 feet by 30 feet MAX, usually smaller) for underground raves throughout San Francisco.
An event we threw in July.
Rig: 4x Mackie Fussion 3000's for mains. 8x Mackie Fussion 1800's for bass, 2x Mackie SRM450's for monitors, and hundreds of hippy ravers on god knows what sort of drugs.
I'm finding that the UCS1's sound overly "boomy" and lack that 30hz bass that a lot of electronic music contain. The Mackie Fussions actually kept up quite well.
Would I get anything from getting rid of my 2 UCS1's and getting a JBL SRX728s? I'm running a Yamaha P5000s, which puts out 2,600 watts bridged at 4 ohms.
Here's an example of the music we usually play at levels that make your chest shake, kill small babies, and make satan cry from 8pm-4am:
