I’m looking to buy two K8.2 and two subs as a basic PA for my band to cover small to medium sized gigs (max. 500 people) without having to rent something else since these are the majority of our gigs. I found different types of subs from QSC like the KSub 2x, KS112, KW181 and KS212C and wonder which one is recommended in combination with the K8.2 and also in light of the best price/performance ratio. We have two singers, guitar, bass, keyboards and drums (miked).
Do you have any suggestions?
Hi
I was in a similar situation a few years back although I was upgrading from a Mackie system.
A pair of KSubs would go very well with the of K8.2s or K10.2s.
Easy transport with the wheels.
With my RCF PA, I went for 12” tops so for small gigs we can do without the subs.
I did consider a KW181/K12 system to handle large gigs with ease. The KW181 is probably the most compact 18” you”ll find.
With the K8.2s, a sub would be needed on most gigs if the band goes through the PA.
The KS112 is a single 2000w 12” where the KSub has 2 12” speakers and is 1000w.
128db max SPL vs 130db max SPL. Not a lot in it but I would have thought a pair of KSubs or a KW181 would fair better for a full band.
For best price/performance, Yamaha DXR/DXS series is hard to beat.
Hope this helps.
