JBL will see this and send you brand new covers for all tour speakers. Personally i transport my speakers in ATA cases big investment and jeeps them un scratched
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!
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.
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.
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.
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. 😊
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
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
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
I can attest. We use 2 PRX815 speakers with 2 QSC-KW18 subs, for a 12 piece band. You’re absolutely right Noel, these speakers are tits! Our engineer wants to add 2 more JBLs, as well!
Eddie Acosta , same here brother. 4- k12.2s and 2- kw181s.. plenty of clarify and bass for about 99 % of all events...being versatile and not killing your back is key. Maybe someday I’ll jump on the JBL band wagon but for now and the next 6 years I’m all about my QSC! Saludos from SATX!

4 QSC K12,s and 4 QSC KW181'S is how I'm rolling!.. I've done some pretty big school dances and made it sound like a mini festival. No issues with the QSC gear.
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.
Hahaha SRX's and QSC's are nice speakers, but Yamaha DSR series will blow them out the water like nothing... I've gone against my fellow dj friends who happens to own ether srx or qsc's, and me owning yamaha dsr and had sounded better and louder! Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing jbl or qsc but man! You should try them if you get the chance!
NBG 1 i haven’t test the Yamaha but for now I’m good with the SRX series for my needs I usually do up to 500 people gigs so maybe I will try Yamaha DSR when I have the chance 👍🏼
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.
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
Check out the homecoming gig log on my channel that was around 500 students done with 2 harbinger v2115 tips and 2 behringer b1200d subs. 🤷🏾♂️ I rocked it! Proof is in the video
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.
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.
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
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
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.
You want customer service? Last year I did a jam where I lost a knob on my dbx 215 equalizer. I emailed them asking can I buy a few of them. They answered me the very next day and about a week later I get a package with two knobs for FREE. Also these knobs were better than the originals which come off easily; these stay tight Just for a simple knob, awesome customer service.
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.
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
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.
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
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!
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.
How are these compared to 835? I live on a farm, with 0 neighbours arround. Thinking of 815p and 818sp, or 835p and 828. Want them in my 100 square meters livingroom, but never heard anything of them live except for the 818sp subwoofers. Some input would be great! Thanks in advance G
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?
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
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.
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
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.
I have the tuki cases for my ekxs. Great build quality. Thanks for the video on the srx. Have the chance to buy some at cost. Looking forward to hearing them with two 18s.
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?
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...🤔
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!

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
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
Im using 2 JBL SRX828sp and 4 RCF HDL10a also 2 JBL PRX815w as a monitors, the behringer xr18 and the DBX Pa2
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.
Its turned me off... like WTF!!!
You want customer service? Last year I did a jam where I lost a knob on my dbx 215 equalizer. I emailed them asking can I buy a few of them. They answered me the very next day and about a week later I get a package with two knobs for FREE. Also these knobs were better than the originals which come off easily; these stay tight
Just for a simple knob, awesome customer service.
JBL PRXs. Would love these though. Looks like it's time to upgrade.
Those speaker are beautiful, how I am a big fan of rcf and fbt
I love the look
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.
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
I have the frakenstands they work great.
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.
Cuel es mejor?? Yamaha DSR115 o JBL SRX815
Great review. Thanks
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.
You could easily repair that faulty stitching with some nylon thread and it would be a lot easier than shipping them back.
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
hell yeah
nice demo,,, thank you,,
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!
I switched to 15"s years ago. Best move I ever made. 18's are a thing of the past.
18" are massive lol
Bayardo A Rugama I still have 1 set of mackie SWA1801's but they just collect dust at this point!
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.
I use the Rockville titan 15 thay sound amazing love love love them try them out dj barr
Esa De Vicente Fernández hizo que abriera otra Coca Cola 😂😂
Hey saludos brother SRX lo mejor que pudo hacer JBL
esa canción me gusta!!!!!!!!!!! lol
Las favoritas de tu papá ahhh
How are these compared to 835? I live on a farm, with 0 neighbours arround. Thinking of 815p and 818sp, or 835p and 828. Want them in my 100 square meters livingroom, but never heard anything of them live except for the 818sp subwoofers. Some input would be great! Thanks in advance G
Hi barr ... How's going bro ... I have the prx 815 1500 w and I like those speakers .. I have a dj mobil ...✌
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?
RCF nx45a vs jbl srx815 ? rcf is cheaper in my country.
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
They have a lot of Fake from China.....It look exactly like JBL.
i love jbl prx is best
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.
everyone loves them
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
I'm considering the SRX835p or SRX815p , does anyone have experience with both and can compare?
vous faites la livraison en Haiti car il y a des stores qui vendent vos produits?
i stay electro-voice. but yeah those jbl's sound very nice, with a natural sound stage
Did you tried the Yamaha DXR's?
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.
The roadies take care of it now!!! lol
What deck do you think will be good for starter person
Depends on your budget
135
I’ve got a numark party mix right now
By the way I love your videos gig logs
good bass sound on the speakers
yes, the kick!
Here's a good one..when is the angle mount useful ? I've been angling them on top of 2 iq19bs..
Yeah!!! awesome.
Try out the turbosound iq15s and compare
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
How would 2 JBL SRX815 work with 2 Yorkville ES18P subs?
I want them i love it ;) ;)
What’s a router
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.
Recommend tuki cases with padded bottoms. Pricey but worth it IMO
never heard of those. Will have to check them out.
I have the tuki cases for my ekxs. Great build quality. Thanks for the video on the srx. Have the chance to buy some at cost. Looking forward to hearing them with two 18s.
Dear friend, which is right to sub for one srx815p ?
Is passive speakers are as good as powered of jbl.
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!🤣
I just picked up the SRX835P’s “ITALO”
what do you think
Welcome to the rediculously heavy DJ speaker club. My AVEs weigh as much as a bus! But that BASS oh my Lord!
DJ Dynablend its all in the magnet! Lol
its a full time job moving them.
Are these Prx 815 loudest than the DSR15 Yamaha?
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?
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
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...🤔
Bassboss got me sold...Next QSC KW series
I want to try the bass boss
Dude I use prx and they sounds great.
what the name of the speakers stand what you buy I appreciate if you let me now
Yamaha DSR115 - I'd put them head to head. Yamaha wins for a few reasons to me
BARR hi , Dj Phenomenal AJ Trinidad , i'll like your take on YORKVILLE POWER SPEAKERS please ..
This would be great in a locker room
Do you put them on the stands by your self?
Because they are heavy my friend
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!
curious to hear what your top 5 would consist of (in order preferably..)
