| Mackies get the job done from my experience. Also look at JBL. |

JBL Eon-15 G2.
Get a used pair. They're going for about 1k |

| I recently got 2 Mackie SA 1521s for $1100 . Those things are massive, They can easily power a small-medium size club and since they are powered all you have to do is connect them to your mixer and you are set to go. |

Sounds nice...but even though they are powered...I've experienced powered speakers that dont put out enough bass, so I needed a sub. Are these speakers bassy (if thats a word) enough? |

Get this :
Matrix B 52 (sub + 2 speakers, self amped) highly recommended |

| ^ Just saw it and its reviews and it looks incredible! It's $1600 though so that sucks. But, I will see. Thanks for this reccommendation. |

B52 makes (or at least they used to) 2 different models of the matrix system, i think the smaller one will fit into your budget.
if it were me, i'd get a pair of mackie SRM450s. |

YEa they're is a small package but it totals to 700 Watts and I was really looking to 1000+. Btw, those mackie SRM450s, how are they bass wise? I know they sound crystal clear, according to many, but I'm trying to avoid buying a sub if the powered speakers are expensive. |

| Make sure you get subs too and not just tops. Unless you're a treble rebel. Oh yea and just a tip folded horns are the way to go. Look em up. |

I've played on the 450's, yes they play LOUD and pretty clear, but not a lot of bass response. They also sell the smaller 350's.
I would go checkout the Matrix system. Yes they have 2 versions, the 1000 and the 2000. I've seen the 2000 at Guitar Center, and it's pretty big (physically). I'd recommend checking them out in person :)

| Yea I saw the total weight for the whole package is around 260 lbs. But as long as they put out an awesome amount of bass, I'm sold. |
