    -3db? I must be doing something wrong. I had my kw181 turned up to like +5/6 to try and fill that room.

    Is there a better sub for around $1200. Thought the qsc was the way to go

    Good advise I’ll try all that, thanks.

    Yes, I had the power cables for everything split in two, drawing from different outlets. Ill try grouping them. And yes it is not noticeable when I just turn it up a bit.

    I sold the jbl 518s today and purchases the qsc kw181. Will test it on fri. From what I here it’s the go to for mobile DJ’s.

    Someone had aslo mentioned that with using the jbl sub with my qsc’s, I didn’t have the proper crossover or something. I think matching the set with the qsc sub can only improve things. I also bough pretty cheap xlr cables just to get everything hooked up, so not sure if that plays a part.

    Thanks for the update. It all worked fine, but there is a humming coming out of the speakers when the volume is off or very low. The humming seems to be in just one speaker, but when I disconnect it, it switches to the other speaker and so on. Not sure what it is. It doesn’t sound like mic feedback, it’s just a rolling hum….

    Issue number 2. My sub sux! I thought it would be good, but this jbl 518s doesn’t fill a room at all. Really can only feel it if your standing next to it, otherwise it really has no effect. What do I need to get. Someone said to get the qsc kw181. Does anyone have experience with these two subs? It the extra 500w worth it?

    What are some other subs I could get that rally fill a room with base

    Having issues hooking this up, the Yamaha Mixer has XLR outs. They go from the XLR outs to the back of the sub.
    Going from the sub output to the back of the speaker input require all female XLR. They don’t make those they make adapters. So everyone uses adapters to go from the sub to the speaker with XLR???

    Helps a lot, thanks again.
    Yes, from the one time I set this up, I played with all the switches during play, and coulnt hear a difference when adjusting the sub switches.

    Changing the LF on tops did however add or takeaway bass with the norm/ext sub switch. But I couldn’t get any change in bass on the tops when switching the HPF on sub. I’ll try it again though And really listen. So thru lets everything thru to the tops then?

    And for the in/out, I should just leave it to in then?

    Thanks for the reply I appreciate the info. I’m not sure if Ill have an issue using the RCA to TS but The cable goes from a duel RCA to one single TS. And I noticed the 3/4 channel was L and R. If I plug it in just one side will it have the same effect? I guess I can go get a single RCA to a single TS if they make those

    I have the same issue. It’s not for a gig, but I just received my 2 qsc k12s and a jbl 518s sub. I have a similar mixer ddj-sb, and yes only RCA master out. Went to guitar center and they sold me 2 RCA to xlr cables. But the RCA sides of the cord is a mono or single. So I needed 2, one for the left And right Chanel. I didn’t know this would not sound as good as it can get. Not sure what to do. I have 4 other xlr cables I guess Ill chain all the speakers together with.

    But do I go from the mixer to the sub, then the tops or what. Please shine light in this.
