I just bought two of the powered Mackie 1501s. I
couldn't resist the Guitar Center price. :) The rooms I would be using these for
would be anywhere between 100 to 500 seaters, or a medium size club (10K square
feet?)

What
kinds of rooms Krispen? The PA I had most experience with was 2 x 2x18
push-pull cabs with 2k
watts apiece, and it was amazing outside on an open field, and
removed tooth fillings indoors. We were on sort-of a budget, and used
Peavey but the sound was clean enough that Ray Brown (amazing jazz bassist)
used one of these as his bass amp during a jazz performance on our campus and
remarked "wow! that's serious low end, I like it" If it's enough pound
for outside, and clean enough for jazz upright bass, I'll take two :)
When we unpacked everything in a store room, hooked it all up in a
gleeful rush, put in the then recent crystal method vegas cd, and i skipped to
'cherry twist', while my boss said "hey, do you think this thing is going to
be very loRRRAAAAAAMMMP" as three foam ceiling tiles fell down because I
"accidentally" had several knobs marked gain turned up beyond reasonable
levels.... Delicious.
I also conveniently had neutrik speakon
connectors for the subwoofer for my van at the time, and this subwoofer in
there was just insanity. It was an astro, and it would open the side
windows...

An
octave below 41.2Hz would be 20.6Hz.
