First, the background. The band I play in is a function/wedding/party band. We comprise of drums, bass, guitar, sax, and female vocal with the sax player and me (guitar) also adding extra vocal. We often add a trumpet into the mix and he also adds some vocals. Occasionally we add keys to take us up to 7 (all depends on the client’s budget). Speaker wise, we use a pair of QSC K10s only, no subs, and it is used for vocal and brass only, with just a hint of guitar to add a bit of spread to the sound. Everything else comes from the backline, which we can do as we are not a loud band. All this is mixed through an Allen & Heath QU-16.
On Saturday we played in a large marquee with a DJ friend of our who happened to have a QSC KW181 sub with him. He allowed us to link one of the K10s in to the sub and the difference was night and day. The result is that we now want to get a sub.
The problem we have is transportation. All the kit is taken in individual cars, we don't have a van or trailer, so we are limited on size. Much as we would love a 15" or 18", we just don't have the space. We have the option to try a QSC KSub, which I think I can get in my car, but are there any other options people can suggest?
