So I just bought some JBL LSR 5 inch monitors. I figured they would be fine as opposed to the 8 inch since I plan on getting a subwoofer. I have heard though that there is definitely going to be a difference between a 10 inch or 12 inch sub. Seems like if it goes down to 36 hz I should be fine but what is ya'lls experience? Any recommendations would be nice. I just need something that is going to translate well in a club when dealing with heavy sub bass.

the best addition I ever made to my monitoring setup (a pair of adam a77x's) was the JBL LSR310S, a 10 inch sub. Great price ($400) and very high quality

That one is definitely on the list. Do you make "bass music?"

You can't guarantee a 12" sub will go lower than a 10". It depends on the actual design of the sub.

So the best way to choose, as with any speaker purchase, is go listen to it before you buy it.

Unfortunately that's not possible with me living out in the woods right now, pretty far from anywhere that has pro audio gear. Also don't have a car! Long story.

I kind of trust that JBL will put forth a good product. Kinda iffy on KRK since I'll be out here in the middle of nowhere and they can be a bitch to repair but I hear good things about their subs. Looking at Adams because from what I can see they are a fairly reputable and serious company. The size is going to matter since it'll mean more air moving through the thing. I'm definitely not closed to getting a ten inch as long as it translates well to a club since that's where I'm aiming some of my stuff right now. I have some folks interested in some future bass style stuff I've been working on and I want to be sure it translates well.

Get the JBL and spend the extra cash you don't spend on an Adam Sub on these
