Hi, Has anyone had any experience with these? I'm wondering which
would give me a bigger FOH sound - 2x JBL EON 15G2's + 2x JBL EON
518s subs or 2x JBL PRX635m's The EON 15G2's and 518S
subs are quoted as having an spl of 129db each and the PRX 635's have an spl of 135db. I would be using them to mic up full drum kit, bass, keys and 4x vocals. Which of these would be capable of the biggest and loudest FOH sound?

personally i used to own the old EON and i didn't like them at all and i sold them out
quickly , i dunno how much improvement the new EON has but i doubt they would be better
than prx .... i own 2 pairs of the prx 635 and they sound great also they have that low
end that makes you avoid using subs sometimes ,,,,i usually use them without subs as stage
side fills for small bands about 7-8 persons and they do the work perfectly , i also own 5
pairs of the prx 615 , i use them as stage monitors and they are great too , bad thing
about the prx's is that the back panel cover of the amp gets really hot even if it's
sitting idle , i dunno how much this affect the overall system but i haven't notice any
change in sound quality/level as the amp heats up ...., i'm sorry i can't give you
feedback of the EON as i never heard them but i doubt they would be better than the prx

Thanks for the reply. I'm not really expecting my old EON 15G2's to sound better than the
PRX range. I'm wondering which would be more capable of a big loud FOH sound with a beefy
kick drum and bass sound?
I did a small ball with my EON 15G2's and EON 518s
subs and these coped ok but am unsure if I would be confident in doing anything bigger?
There was also a pa company at the ball who brought an 8k Opus rig with an Allen
& Heath iLive 112 desk and they were very surprised with the FOH sound of my little
JBL rig and were very complimentary!!!
I'd love to know how a pair of the
PRX635's sound next to my EON 15G2's + EON 518 subs.

Thanks. Was this with a live band? Also, do
you feel you could have done this with just one pair?

yes it was a live band , no i don't think it can be done with only two , at least for me
because i don't like to drive my speakers to the max that's why i installed 4 ..also the
dance floor was big 12 meters long by 12 meters wide with about 150+ people average
dancing on the dance floor so i guess the number 4 was appropriate for it , also i didn't
mention that i used no subs and there was no problem , the speakers had decent amount of
lows ...this is the first time i use them as FOH , i used to install them as stage side
fills b4
