JBL Loudspeakers

JBL 15" Single and Dual 3Way speakers and 18" subwoofers

Dual 15" speaker systems have become one of the most popular configurations with DJs and musicians who are looking for more low-frequency performance while maintaining the simplicity of a single-box system. The JRX125 is actually a "quasi three-way" design. This means that the upper woofer covers lows and mids. The bottom woofer uses a lower crossover frequency and covers only lows, acting as >a built-in subwoofer. So you get the extra low-end of a dual 15" rig while maintaining the superior mid-frequency performance of a single driver system.

Enough punch to keep Mike Tyson quiet and stylish enough to make the Queen feel at ease, these professional crystal clear speakers are great quality.
