I just bought two of the powered Mackie 1501s. I couldn't resist the Guitar
Center price. :) The rooms I would be using these for would be anywhere
between 100 to 500 seaters, or a medium size club (10K square feet?)

  What kinds of rooms Krispen?  The PA I had most experience with was 2 x
2x18 push-pull cabs with 2k watts apiece,  and it was amazing outside on an
open field, and removed tooth fillings indoors.  We were on sort-of a
budget, and used Peavey but the sound was clean enough that Ray Brown
(amazing jazz bassist) used one of these as his bass amp during a jazz
performance on our campus and remarked "wow! that's serious low end, I like
it"  If it's enough pound for outside, and clean enough for jazz upright
bass, I'll take two :) 

  When we unpacked everything in a store room, hooked it all up in a
gleeful rush, put in the then recent crystal method vegas cd, and i skipped
to 'cherry twist', while my boss said "hey, do you think this thing is
going to be very loRRRAAAAAAMMMP" as three foam ceiling tiles fell down
because I "accidentally" had several knobs marked gain turned up beyond
reasonable levels....  Delicious. 

  I also conveniently had neutrik speakon connectors for the subwoofer for
my van at the time, and this subwoofer in there was just insanity.  It was
an astro, and it would open the side windows...

    An octave below 41.2Hz would be 20.6Hz.
