these are the worst speakers !! Can't get a decent volume without clipping . My Altos were a much better speaker until I lost low end .I went with JBL because of their reputation never again can't wait to get rid of them

Just WOW...Amazing clarity, Excellent Bass....I purchased this speaker to play backing tracks and rock music in my garage, so I can play guitar with the tracks, I currently have a 50watt Marshall Half-Stack, and want to jam kinda Loud sometimes, so I figured a 12" PA Speaker would cut it.....I only purchased 1 Speaker so far, and it's CRAZY loud....I have a 2-car garage, and have to open Both bays at 3/4 volume.....the sound will carry very far, I guarantee my neighbors can hear it hundreds of yards away. But these speakers are very manageable at Lower volumes as well, it doesn't start to Amplify Loud until past 1/2 volume.....but it Still holds absolute Clarity.....NO clipping, distortion or Sound break-up at all!!! I'm just blown away how clear and Saturated it ... MoreJust WOW...Amazing clarity, Excellent Bass....I purchased this speaker to play backing tracks and rock music in my garage, so I can play guitar with the tracks, I currently have a 50watt Marshall Half-Stack, and want to jam kinda Loud sometimes, so I figured a 12" PA Speaker would cut it.....I only purchased 1 Speaker so far, and it's CRAZY loud....I have a 2-car garage, and have to open Both bays at 3/4 volume.....the sound will carry very far, I guarantee my neighbors can hear it hundreds of yards away.

I'm just blown away how clear and Saturated it sounds at louder volumes. I suppose "Bass" is objective....it's not going to hit 8000 different frequencies like a Bass Speaker,(that's why you have dedicated Sub Woofers)....... but you will Feel the Hard Kick of a Drum Pedal for sure. Like I said, it's very good for listening to music, Not just DJ or Live Music. Blue Tooth sound quality is actually amazing on this speaker, I was going to use a dedicated Cable for my computer, but honestly Blue Tooth is perfectly fine....because I've had issues with many speakers sounding Bad with BT, but not here........ I'm so glad I spent on the money on JBL instead of buying something cheaper......you know what they say, buy Cheap, you end up buying it Twice....... The only Con I can think of, is the control Knob moves kinda twitchy when navigating the Menu, but it does feel high quality. Unit is also Much lighter than I thought when grabbing from the Top Handle.

I had cheaper JBL IRX 12BT which I learned is not bi-amped. When I compared the two, the high end on this speaker was noticeably clearer and it made my other JBL sound muddy. This was with all eq settings at unity. And, yes, it has angled back corners so you can use it as a floor monitor.
