Just moved to a college town. Most bars/"clubs" here do not have adequate sound systems. Need to invest in some cheap speakers. Any suggestions out there?

I have nothing but praise for QSC powered speakers. I have the HPR's and get nonstop compliments on them. There's only a few complaints, but they tend to come from the apartments behind the lounge I play at. =)
cheap - loud - awesome
pick any two!
Xone 42, X1, Audio 8, Maschine mikro
QSCs are amazing, but far from cheap :0).
I hear a lot about Mackie Thumps.

10/10. Had them for a while now, they are really cheap, fucking loud and sound very very good. They have an amazing balance to them.
Seriously reccomend them!
Good stuff guys. Appreciate it.
I hear a lot about the thumps as well. What model is it?

In general, you will get better results with dedicated subs and tops. I recommend that you begin with a 2:1 ratio of subs:tops. By that, I mean that the cabinet volume (e.g. size) of the subs is at least 2x the size of the tops. That ratio will help provide a balanced sound for most "Top 40" style music. If you are into DnB or similar EDM genres, you may want to consider a 4:1 ratio.
For tops, 10" or 12" woofers are preferred. This will give better mid range response, better clarity, and better horizontal dispersion than a 15" top. In addition, once you have subs, a 15" loaded top is 50% larger and heavier than needed to produce >100Hz content. For subs, 15" direct radiators are a good compromise for mobile setups.
