Rockville RSG15 1500W 3-Way 8-Ohm Passive PA Speaker, 15" Woofer, 4 Bullet Tweeters, Compression Horn, for DJs and Pro Audio

If you are like me and have invested 1000s of dollars into your gear, you need to keep an open mind. Buying the gear we have been told you must have to be a serious DJ or musician may just be a result of brand loyalty and marketing. I tend to be loyal to Korg and Apple, so I am preaching to the choir.I am a musician, keyboardist. I also do one man band shows. I also DJ between sets. I require speakers that can reproduce every range from 808 bass to a piccolo. Drum tracks must kick, snares pop, cymbals must ting. I use a Korg Krome, Korg Microarranger, iPad with Whoop Triggers, MKsensations and Gallieo Organ, and Macbook Pro with Mainstage and Abelton. Why so much? I have a hard time trusting in a computer exclusively after 30 years of playing. Also, I like options on the fly. As you see, I am not new at this.To get the sound I want I have been using an Ampeg 4 x 10 bass cab with horn powered by Crown Amp, 2 custom built 15 in 2 way mains powered by peavey amp, 1 Mackie powered sub. Mackie FX12 mixer ties it together. This give me the sound and power I want, but is very heavy. I wanted to go lighter on the cheap for gigs 100 people or less.I ordered 1 RSG 15 and a RPM85 powered mixer just to see what they could do, expecting to hate them both and return them. Cost 250 for both. I set it up in my church to see how it would sound with volume pushed up. I was blown away. The 3 way speaker hits every range. I don't need the sub, plenty of power. I love it. I believe I can do a gig for 200 with 2 RSG 15s and 300 if I use my Sub. The RPM85 could use a 10 band EQ, but that not under review. 2 speakers and the Mixer will cost under 400 bucks.People mentioned they need to be EQed. Well, every system needs to be EQed, right? These are loud speakers, not precision sound for audiophiles to sit around at sip cognac while they listen for fingers hitting guitar frets. These are work horses. What sounds better, a live concert or cd with headphones? What is more fun? I don't know what kind of wood, glue, cones, and all that other stuff. I know they sound great, and if I knew what I know now, I would have ordered 8 of them for what I had 2 customs built. And still have money to buy another sub.Do like I did, and buy 1. I bought the used one for 98.00. I did not expect to love it, but I do. Oh, durability, I don't care for 100 bucks, I don't plan on abusing them, and if I break it, I will buy another. If you are OCD about your gear, I understand. You will loosen up as your back and shoulders show age.Hope this helps my brothers that have to buy, move setup and breakdown their own gear several times per week.

Hands down the best speaker for the price. Make sure you have the wattage to pump to them....4ohm is always the way. I have heard parts in songs that I have never heard. Very clean sound if you know how to use an EQ properly. I paired them with Pyles 6 channel 2000 watt receiver......what a combo..... I was able to do this spending about 600 bucks. ROCK ON!!!!!

I bought this used like new for 100 bucks. Looked brand new and works good. Different box and no paperwork but thats not worth 80 bucks is it? Will look for this again. Sounds good to me and im fussy when it comes to sound good bass!

Was initially bitterly disappointed in these as I hooked them up to my amp and they sounded awful. Had a very 'mid-range' frequency sound and very little low end to them. In an effort to get them to be usable, I was boosting the low end significantly and cutting as much as the mixer would let me from about 1Khz on up.After about an hour of running, they started to gradually sound better. I'm not sure if it's because the speaker was cold or stiff from manufacturing or what exactly, but after probably 2 hours they sounded pretty solid. Much more clarity and frequency response, was then able to boost the bottom end and cut the mid range a touch to get a sound I was happy with.Ultimately, for the price, I'll take having to let them 'warm up' on their first run. I ran them for a 2 day event and only during the initial startup did they have poor audio quality. They're decently lightweight and easy to handle. Cages are a little 'weak' in my mind, very easy to dent/bend.

Been using in my basement game room. They have excellent base, mid, and tweet. Would buy again if were waterproof for my deck.

So I bought two of the dual 15" 4Ω models about two years ago and have used them heavily for many gigs. They sound alright but I wanted to address some false claims by the manufacturer. First, these CANNOT handle more than 1000 watts. I recently upgraded my amp to the Crown XLI 3500 from an old amp that put out around 500 watts per channel. The crown amp at max can output 1350 watts RMS per channel. At my last show, I had the speakers hooked up to the crown amp and all four voice coils melted not even at full volume. The speakers started smoking and I knew I destroyed them. Upon further inspection after taking them apart, I found that I made the crappy crossover literally explode. The crossover is only about the size of an index finger so that should give you a hint as to its power handling. I was also able to pull out the roasted copper wire from the voice coil. Second, these CANNOT hit low frequencies well at all. The listing says 35Hz but from my testing on two different amplifiers, I could only achieve 60Hz before a significant reduction in dB. To say the least, these do not handle bass. Third, the build quality is not good. The MDF they use is very fragile and will break with little force. Also there was a loud rattling noise caused by poor cabinet construction. I was able to fix it but only after I screwed and glued a support brace securely into the cabinet. These may seem like a good deal for the money but they are not pro speakers. If you are just looking for some big speakers for your room, these will work, but if you are planning to use these in a professional sense, like as a DJ or for a concert DO NOT BUY THESE.

I run a 12VDC sound system in my garage and even though 8ohm speakers will work on a 4ohm amp, they aren't allowing the full potential of the amp. This 4ohm full range Rockwell really does the job, and sounds even better.

For the price It sounds amazing. The highs and lows sound really good and Rich
