I need help deciding on FOH speakers for mainly outdoor gigs. I currently have 2 pair of JBL MP255s powered by a Crown K2 on each side. I need some input and advise on the JBL SRX722 (Passive) dual 12's or the Mackie SA1232z (Active) dual 12's. Can anyone give me some advise? I like the fact the the Mackie can be daisey chained multiple times and would be easy to add as the system grows. But do't know enough to really know. Please help. Chris

Cmarks,

Although I am not familiar with "daisy chaining",the Mackie's have a much better bottom end & the mid range speaker is a definite plus.
With bi amplification built in as well,it's not only more convenient to have less to carry around,but it seems to me that given the impressive specs,you will get an all around cleaner sound with the Mackie's.:cool:

I would avoid mackie at all costs. but that's just my opinion.
