If a simple set-up is required and full bandwidth output at high levels is a must, then the PRX625 is most likely the optimum solution. With the same footprint as the PRX515M, the dual 15 in woofer design creates enough low frequency content to serve most live music or music playback situations.
We picked these up a couple of months back using them for our live 4 piece. We put a couple of subs underneath them and found that these were perfect for the clubs as well as small outdoor gigs. The sound is crystal clear! Before i bought, i read reviews on these where someone said they would overheat. This happened once, HOWEVER, we found that it was because we had a cable with a polarity issue. These have performed perfectly everytime. We use them in the clubs 6 - 8 times per month. Perfect sound gear for guys who want great sound w/o the weight and hassle of hauling power amps...
I bought a pair of these because i had heard they were easy on the back and had plenty of boom for the buck. While this speaker has a decent quality and really is light weight, it has a few annoying features that you should know about. The amps don't seem to have a fan, and when the heat sink gets really hot, they turn off (happened when pushed past +4db). This speaker is really bright. I had to run them through an EQ with full kills on some of the highs, and HP x-over at 12k just to get them to a balanced volume. JBL, If your going to make a self powered speaker, at least put a parametric eq on the back so these things can be mobile, or at least put low cuts and high cuts like the QSC kw series... As for the lows, this thing has no shortage of bass. What kills me again is the lack of an EQ. If I want to bring these to a house party and use them as floor mains without bins, they do a pretty good job, but there's no way to eq them unless i bring my rack or a second mixer... And if I press the "Boost" button (which i would never recommend) people immediately notice that the highs are too bright, even with the cabinets sitting on the floor. Also, they are a little short, so the tweeter blasts anyone approaching 6 foot with excessive highs when they're on a single 15" or 18". If you can get them to an appropriate height, they really chug, hitting you right in the chest with driving lows and lots of punch. These are great for Techno and bass heavy Dance music, though I can't speak for bands. Downtempo sounds rather flat though, if that helps. Go with the QSC if your a band or into accurate acoustic reproduction at high volume. If your a club DJ on a budget, these are a decent option for the price point.
I was gonna buy the qsc kw line but boy 80 somethin pounds for their 3way...can't do that... at close to max jbl actually outshines the qsc...i'm a big fan of qsc but this was a surprise... to summarize my reasons, jbl did us mobile dj's a favor with a 60 pound 3way speaker.we are usually a 2 man crew so i weighed all the factors and it all worked out in jbl's favor. plus the 139 max spl means i never have to really push the speaker my event's are never more than 250 people. I'm using 2 jbl 635 and 2 qsc KW181 subs.(I'd have loved 2 horn loaded subs but they are too big and heavy and require more space/man power) The first review wrongly judges this speakers...i'd say it was user error.i've used the older prx500 line before and actually was impressed by the fact that the amp only gets warm not hot...so even without a fan...this is a non issue... use the short pole to have these over your 18" subs and you'll have a killer 4 way system
