What sub woofer(s) should I buy to have the hardest hitting bass for outdoor parties?
I am on a budget of $200 for the subs, enclosures, and shipping. (suggestions up to $400 are welcome)
I already have everything else and I just need the sub woofers. My amp is only 3000 Watts and 2200 is already used. The purpose of the system is to throw outdoor dance parties and I really want to FEEL the music.
Thank you!

@grumpyfish “Grumpyfish says that holy crap that is an expensive subwoofer!” (hehehe)
Thank you for the suggestion. If I ever run into money, I’m on it!
Would you vouch for this sub?
200 wont get you far. Polk is a good name for value.
@pikipupiba We normally spec the QSC subs (these things: http://www.qscaudio.com/products/speakers/GP218sw/ ). I’ve not used the JBL sub, but we’ve had good luck with their speakers in general.
It may be overkill for a DJ system—my experience is in theatrical applications where super-clean is more important than body thumping =)
Try Craigs list or Amazon for cheap used gear in your area.
@Cruiser Yes, that is where I will find deals, but I am wondering what KIND of subwoofers to get.
@pikipupiba what kind of mains (size and speaker config) are you running and are you bi-amp’d? How much power do you think your amp can spare/handle going full throttle?
