I'm 73 years old, a little taller, 5' 8", about 190 pounds and I have absolutely no problem raising my SRXPs on stands. Fold the legs out on the stand, lay the stand on the floor perfectly aligned with the speaker laying on the floor, lift the bottom of the speaker up, slide the stand in the mount, then grab both handles and raise it up. I use the (Gas Assist) JBL stands, and you bring them down in the same way. I've been a professional musician on stage/DJ/sound engineer for 57 years, always running with JBLs! I have a long time musician/engineer who raves about QSCs, which I'm sure are great. I would really like to see a sound QSC vs JBL (SRXP) battle! Of course I'm very happy you got SRXPs, and they do kick ass!

“You ain’t headlining unless you’re redlining” 😂😂😂 Love it!

If I was 20 years younger, 20 lbs lighter and a lot stronger, I would already own them. For now, I will keep my PRX's. Thanks for a great honest review of an awesome speaker from a company with horrible customer service--it's not a secret--we have all had bad experiences with them.

My local live sound expert/dealer loves the SRX and VRX series. He compared the QSC K 12.2's to the PRX series and that the issue with QSC is that they don't really make a speaker that competes with the SRX or VRX. He did however say that the K12 sub is a lot better than the PRX sub, but that the SRX828P is a monster.

upgraded to JBL 2 SRX 815p & 2 828 best speaker investment I have ever made and the sound is amazing.. Ive been a big QSC guy for the past 6-7yrs but I highly recommend the SRX series great buy!!!

Watched the video, wanted to say a few things... The SRX line is the best line that public consumers can get without going to a Vertec series, or the A series. In fact, I know of three Vertec rigs, two being productions, and one being privately owned. They all have SRX powered subs, and SRX 815's as wedges/front fills. This should at least give you an idea that theses speakers satisfy the people that rely on sound to make a living. The weight, hell yeah they're heavy. Welcome to the thick ass birch world lol. The speaker bags: JBL does not make their speaker bags. Gator cases do. Gator has been super unreliable lately. As far as JBL goes, they're also in the middle of a BIG warehouse change along with re-negotiating contracts with large distributors. Not to be a jerk, but I'm sure a speaker bag is the least of their concern, but trust me..I get it. Lastly, if anyone is thinking about switching to SRX, keep in mind these are animals. They're not like anything else really out there. I currently own 2 835P, 2 815P, 2 828P, and 4 818P. A friend of mine has a matching rig as well.. I have personally listened to different speakers, specifically QSC, and QSC has NOTHING on these speakers. Especially when it comes to the subs. Again, that's what a lot of these big rigs are running JBL. If you don't want to drink the JBL Kool-Aid, that's fine. The only thing that is comparable/better SOUND WISE are the RCF HDL line and their 8XXX subs..If money allowed, heck, I would run HDL's with SRX subs, but, ya can only do what you can only do. Good video.

I went with the QSC K12.2, I love the size, weight and look. The JBL's sound sweet but they are too bulky and heavy for my taste and needs

I jumped from the prx group to rcf and it was the best decision ever! Jbl was great! Before they changed their manufacturing ways

DJ Barr the best way to put really heavy speakers on a stand is to set up the stand as if you would before the speaker is placed on it. Then lie the speaker down on their side and then lie the stand down and line up the tophat/hole to the stand and raise the bottom of the speaker just enough off the floor to slide in the stand pole. this will have the speaker look as if it had been pushed over and the stand is still connected. Now the lift is easy, you grab the top handle and lift it up and place your other hand under the speaker and push the speaker up with 2 stand legs on the floor till it is vertical. The heavy duty stands are steel and work fine. Aluminium stands will bend the legs and as you know you need the steel stands as the SRX are 65 pounds.Keep up the good reviews and gig logs. DJ Daryl from Australia

Yep, 65 lbs is a bit much for me to hoist up on a speaker stand. I don't always have an assistant with me either. Thank you so much for reviewing these speakers!! I do like JBLs. 😊

I just went with the EV ETX 15P, top EV line, these are also heavyyy, I used to carry 35 pound speakers, now I need help placing these on the tripods, I love my ETXs

Having the company refuse to send me a replacement after 6 months would turn me off of the company completely. So many competitors in the space, its not worth dealing with trash customer service.

Smol correction, peak output @1m is 137DB. Crazy loud.

2x EV zlx 12p and 1x EV Ekx 18sp. I love this speakers

The JBL bags are made for them through a Chinese company. Although I had no issues with my SRX 815 and 828 covers, the JBL EON 615 covers do not fit worth a damn. I had them replaced with 4 new ones and the same issue. Also I cut those handle covers off. Makes handling the speaker much easier. Love the the SRX 800 series for live bands.

congratulations, I have the complete set I bought them when they came out they are the best I've had because I'm a fan of (jbl)👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This video is 4 years old. Did JBL ever take care of the speaker covers??? I hope so

Amazing, detailed review. Thank a lot DJ Barr, You're doing really good job with your videos.

I use these speakers. Well, used to. Since covid, all my gigs have been cancelled. Even my photo booth gigs. But these speakers are tits! Heavy af, but to be honest, I wanted to buy two more to have side by side because I like my shit loud and full. I always have an issue with them peaking, so I take my EV ETX 18 TO help with the lows and that seems to do the trick. But yo, keep on keepin on brotha! Much luv! DJ Serrato Phx, AZ

These speakers are nice, but it's something about the EV EKX and ETX line is special.

I Purchase a Pair of JBL SRX 815P These speaker are really heavy on the Bass. I've used these with out a Sub and they handle really well. Deeper bass then QSC's and they haven't clip on me like the QSC have.

Man You are coming up over there Barr!!! I'm Digging the New Speakers Bro!!

SRX series are the best speakers I had ever bought. About 3 months ago I bought 4 SRX815P and 2 SRX828SP and it is insane !!! SRX815P are 1,500 Watts RMS (137db), and SRX828SP are 1,500 Watts RMS (141db)and like someone commented here, you will make the ladies quiver with the bass they produce....jajajajaja. I just did a 850 pax Wedding and everybody was blown away with the clarity, but most of all the power of these monsters. You have to get not 1 but 2 SRX828Sp, they are expensive but I compared them with, QSC, TURBOSOUND, DAS, and EV and there is no comparison whatsoever, and if you add a DBX Driverack PA2, you will be amaze of what you can do with these babies. Great desition to go for JBL. By the way, I bought my speaker covers in Amazon and they came in pristine condition, and the SRX828SP covers have a hard grill cover. Conclusion: The best speakers you can ever buy. Great Videos BARR, love them all. Greatings from Guatemala City :) p.s.: If you want the contact of the best sound engineer form JBL, he's station in Puerto Rico ( he was Shakira's sound engineer ) send me and email to info@lpliang.com and will gladly give you his info. He can help you setting these up and whatever JBL equipment you have.

I'm holding out and getting QSC's

Hi I just made an upgrade to real Pro Premium line speakers. Its about the MONTARBO WIND 2200 2500eur (3000bucks) per unit. Its a dual 10 inch active 2000w speaker 136DB, well that are a real monsters 136db and believe me they sound louder then you will ever expect, unbeliveble

Nice speakers man. I currently run the Pioneer XPRS 12’s. Great sounding as well 👍🏼

what would you recommend between SRX812 or SRX815 ? ...Thanks

I switched to 15"s years ago. Best move I ever made. 18's are a thing of the past.

The weight (and the fact that I always bring subs) is why I went with the 812 instead of the 815. But the SRX828SP is a monster. Check out air assist stands like the Gator Frameworks for getting these big boys on a pole

Awesome video Bro. Very in depth review, thank you. Just like DJ Rick Web and yourself, I plan on purchasing a set of JBL SRX 815p for my tops and purchasing JBL VRX 918sp 18" for my subs. That sucks about the speaker covers Bro. I hope when I purchase mine they don't come like that. Have you purchased the dual 18" subs? If so, could you do a review on them by themselves and with your JBL SRXp 18's? Love your videos Bro.

been having these speakers since 2016, still fall in love everything i use them. Also have received countless compliments!!!! great review like always! are you going to get the dual after all? highly recommend it.

Thanks Barr, I am a JBL guy too and wanted to know about the JBL SRX upgrade. Great info! You ain’t headlining unless you’re red lining! 🎶👍🏻

Soooo I have QSC’s speakers and sub... and I love them... but I think I might look add those... they’re awesome!

You could easily repair that faulty stitching with some nylon thread and it would be a lot easier than shipping them back.

Im using 2 JBL SRX828sp and 4 RCF HDL10a also 2 JBL PRX815w as a monitors, the behringer xr18 and the DBX Pa2

Cuel es mejor?? Yamaha DSR115 o JBL SRX815

all jbl and electrovoice and qsc are for sale from 400 usd to 800$ usd in Thailand the 4 good compagnie are 1 pioneer pro 2 pk sound 3 bassboss 4 QSC

Nothing to compare to the qsc k12.2 SRX sounds way louder and clean no distortion! Saludos mi gente latina síganme

I use (2) JBL PRX815W. They are amazing for the price.

Great review

Was thinking about the "junky but loud" jbl series.. thanks for fun review

Great video, will be buying these within the next two years or so; 3000$ for two speakers is a gnarly expense, but if you're at the top of your game you want the best. As for the ripped cases, that blows and I feel for you. The truth is though, most "help desk/ trouble shooting" aspects of any company are outsourced to some other continent and should never be reflective of the company overall. Secondly, just keep calling and emailing man, squeaky wheel gets the grease. Thirdly, to corroborate with some of the comments below, there are gas assisted tripods out there that can lower almost to the floor for this reason exactly. Knew a guy with a some AKG tops that weighed in around 70 pounds each, he's the one that showed me the gator stands he had which sunk nearly horizontal to the floor so that you could raise your speaker a max of three feet and plop it on. Quality speakers will ALWAYS be heavier than knock off and cheap brands. Definitely invest in them but also great stands. Based on this video I'll be buying a pair SRX 815p's. Thanks for filling in the info man you rock.

A own a pair of these and they sound amazing. Way better sounding then QSCs

We've been using 2 SRX835P and they are definitely the best speakers I've ever heard. Use them alongside 2 SRX828SP and the tops definitely overpower the subs. Only thing i think sound better then these are the RCF HDL20 linearray system with yhe RCF 8006 subs

I’ve heard negative quality control comments from jbl and that is primarily why I do not purchase jbl products, I’ll stick to QSC professionals until they mess up with me

Currently rocking the with 2 x Alto 312 speakers. 2000 w peak and they are pretty good. Loud and holding up well so far. Covered to at least 500 students so far

Mr. Barr, just pack those speaker covers up and send them back to the company with a note. You can't use them anyway. So they should send you another pair

vous faites la livraison en Haiti car il y a des stores qui vendent vos produits?

WOW that sound is clean

Hey Barr - I'm a big fan. Quick question: I just got two of the SRX815P's (right before everything got shut down) but due to events getting cancelled/postponed left and right, haven't had a chance to use them yet. I got them mainly so that I can avoid bringing subs with me to gigs if possible. I only play at indoor venues...nothing outdoor. In your opinion, what is the max number of people (or better yet the max room capacity) that you'd feel comfortable using these for without subs. I only bring up room capacity cuz sometimes you'll have like 100 guests in a massive room that can fit like 250 so I like using the room capacity to gauge what setup to bring. Thanks man!

JBL PRXs. Would love these though. Looks like it's time to upgrade.

RCF nx45a vs jbl srx815 ? rcf is cheaper in my country.

4 Qsc K 12's & 2 Qsc Kw 181's Lightweight & Great Sound That's All I Need. Don't Need To Carry Heavy Ass Speakers My Back Can't Take It.

Try out the turbosound iq15s and compare

Hi barr ... How's going bro ... I have the prx 815 1500 w and I like those speakers .. I have a dj mobil ...✌

Did you tried the Yamaha DXR's?

Great review. Thanks

Here's a good one..when is the angle mount useful ? I've been angling them on top of 2 iq19bs..

DJ Barr, your JBLs are definitely are great speakers. However, you should really consider using lighter tops and a sub/s. It's all about longevity. You are young and have many years of the business ahead of you. Lighten you load today, and I promise your back will thank you in the future! Trust me, I have been a mobile dj for over 30 years. I'm not saying get rid of them, just have another option to choose from depending on you particular gig. Most of my mobiles I use 2 QSC's K10s and 1 KW181 sub. I'm sure you can build a similar system using JBLs. Keep up the good work.

Esa De Vicente Fernández hizo que abriera otra Coca Cola 😂😂 Hey saludos brother SRX lo mejor que pudo hacer JBL

Is this speaker better than QSC K12? is this speaker good for outdoor for a singing performance for 200 people venue? And is this speaker good sound quality and good volume for voice microphone?

Nice review! I am waiting for two of these and two 818SPs to arrive. Anticipation... 𝅘𝅥 ♫ I think I agree on the software adjustments. I'm hoping I can use my EQ to tune them in just fine without having to use the Ethernet cables. By the way, JBL Bags are a licensed product. Gator Cases makes them. You could bug them about the quality control issues.

I got the SRX 815p with the dual SRX 828p and boy they are heavy in my chevy .. Suburban lol, great speaker too bells and whistles. I will never use the network. unless it is wireless. The box chips easily bring a nice sharpie if you dont have covers. The box doest seems to be real wood, like the QSC Canadian birch wood. I use have JBL Tr225 that was real wood cab. it fell out of the van no scratch . SRX I bump the wall in the house and it chipped.

What’s a router

i have a hard time believing these speaker bump harder than the Yorkville EF15p, but probably sound better "out the box" without having to use a Driverack PA2...🤔

What deck do you think will be good for starter person

I use the Rockville titan 15 thay sound amazing love love love them try them out dj barr

How would 2 JBL SRX815 work with 2 Yorkville ES18P subs?

nice demo,,, thank you,,

That’s dope! “If you ain’t headlining if you ain’t redlining”! And I rock a 2014 Ev Elx 115p they are kick ass!!! Def got $$$ worth thinking of getting some 12 avantes what you think

Any update on the case situation? I'm not too confident in JBLs customer service. Have you seen the Yamaha DZR speakers? 2000w, wooden boxes and they get extremely loud. I recommend checking them out. The 15's are 3KG lighter than the SRX815p too.

Have you listened to RCF speakers? They sound amazingly good and you really can rely on them! Especially their ART 15” speakers which I own.

I wanna get the srx dual 18 sub but I have 2 ev ekx tops does it matter if I have didn’t subs and tops?

I currently have the JBL eo612 powered speaker, is anyone familiar with both? is this worth the upgrade ?

I think Gator makes the speaker covers

Dear friend, which is right to sub for one srx815p ?

Those speaker are beautiful, how I am a big fan of rcf and fbt

What’s the difference between srx 815p and srx 835p???

I work with Srx835p and the twins Srx828s, man they sound awesome! We are talking about Pro spekers that's why they are heavy & expensive broo!🤣

How do you compare these to the rcf 945a? I saw one of your videos saying they lost to the rcf and won against the Ev Etx.

You should have bought the dual 18 for your larger events

Yamaha DSR115 - I'd put them head to head. Yamaha wins for a few reasons to me

i stay electro-voice. but yeah those jbl's sound very nice, with a natural sound stage

I have 4 of these. I'm thinking of selling 2 for $2500 with covers because I hardly ever use 4 at the same time. I know new ones are going for almost $1500 without the cases. There is a shortage of speakers right now. Should I ask for more or get rid of them while they're in such high demand?

Is passive speakers are as good as powered of jbl.

I have to admit, I was dissappointed with the sounds of the SRX tops, the subs sound great. But the tops didn't make my top 5. Either way good luck and enjoy!

what the name of the speakers stand what you buy I appreciate if you let me now

Have you compared RCF HDM 45-A?

Hey I know this is an old video but what’s the difference between the Srx 815 vs 812 or the prx series?

max output is 103 db wtf arent those like 750$ a piece.? that sounds wrong did u mean like 130db ?my 300$ sf25s hit 134 db on my crown xti 6000 with out being close to clip

Are these Prx 815 loudest than the DSR15 Yamaha?

Do you put them on the stands by your self? Because they are heavy my friend

Quick question, Do you think that this speaks --- > Pioneer DJ XPRS15

hi sir what do you think about cerwin vega

Bassboss got me sold...Next QSC KW series

I just picked up the SRX835P’s “ITALO”

This would be great in a locker room

U have a video, on how to start getting clients, I'm starting djing and I wanted to see how u get clients

BARR hi , Dj Phenomenal AJ Trinidad , i'll like your take on YORKVILLE POWER SPEAKERS please ..
