HERES WHAT YOU SHOULD GET IS 2 OF THESES
Yamaha DSR115
Bi-amplified 2-way Powered Speaker. 1300 watts power rating - 450W HF, 850W LF. 15" cone with Neodymium magnet and 3" voice coil. 2" titanium diaphragm compression driver with Neodymium magnet. Level Control, Line/Mic Switch, HPF Switch, D-Contour Switch, Front LED Disable Switch, and Power Switch. XLR and TRS inputs, XLR outputs MAX MEASURED SPL PINK NOISE 136b AT 1 METER
THESE ARE INCREDIBLE AND JUST LIKE THE S115 THEY ARE BUILT LIKE TANKS, I DONT EVEN RECOMMEND THE JBL JRX, THEY ARENT EVEN JBL DRIVERS, JBL USES EMINENCE OR SOME OTHER SPEAKER MANUFACTURER, SO, YOUR PAYING FOR THE NAME WITH CRAPPY CABINETS AND A STAMPED STEEL 15 / GET THE Yamahas

Actually here in Canadaland the Yamaha's cost $40 more per speaker then the JBL's. Imagine the nerve of those bastards lol
The funny thing is I had a dude call me from California dying to buy a set of Cerwin Vega's I was selling & I told him he was nuts to pay shipping as it would cost him as much as he could buy the Yamaha's for lol
I did tell him to check out & compare the JBL's also so that's where I dug this thread up from lol
I use the JBL's EVERY Friday & own a pair of the Yamaha's lol

"CAN'T" is a very strong word. Of course you can. I would agree that the JBL JRX units compression drivers fail a little too easily when the cab is overdriven but have to say that I have come across numerous similar speakers including Yamaha with blown horns to. The simple answer though is NOT to overdrive them. I use the JRX series speakers 118's 112's 125's and 115's for hire outs and out of the 18 JRX speakers I own only one has come back with a blown horn. JBL replaced it FOC under waranty. Is this because they are fantastic unburstable speakers? No, its because they all go out with Crown amps that are pre set to limit the output to what the speakers are designed to handle.
I think the Yamaha speakers have built up a good reputation for quality vs price and would recomend them to anyone. But to say they are unburstable is just not true. Say they are more difficult to damage and i'm with that. Drive your speakers within their respective limits and you will have years of service out of any of them. Everything else comes down to personal preference.

The one thing your not going to get with either of these models is performance, so if you decide to buy either of them, take it steady untill you can get rid to somebody else thats just starting up.
You only have to blow them up once and by the time you've repaired them you had might as well of bought a decent better spec'd pair such as what Renee has.
Note, if your using Crown it might be better to use JBL as they have presets for the JBL series speakers which obviously makes life easier.
Although yet again I don't know if that includes this model of JBL as there entry level and most people using them wouldn't be using them with Crown amps, they would be using a cheaper alternative 9 time out of 10.
I have to say everytime, why would anyone even entertain this type of gear when you can just go onto ebay!

Hi Charlie
I use the MR series speakers on my own rig They are now nearly 15yrs old and keep on trucking. The XTi series Crowns have built in tunings for all JBL speakers from the JRX range up.
Relitive to the cost of the speakers say 2 JRX112's poles and a pair of JRX 118 subs, a pair of Crown XTI 1000s for example isn't out of the ballpark on price even new and on Ebay there a steal. I agree with you tho many people will purely from a cost point of view use cheaper amps. Most at the very least have limiter switches and clip indicators to help you keep in the green. More expensive speakers get blown too and repairing them is ,, well ,, more expensive LOL.
Oddly enough I would by a second hand amp on Ebay but rarely consider second hand speakers. Amps tend to work/or not! speakers can have a hard life and as they are mechanical in nature do "wear out". Blown or miss treated drivers wont show up untill you have plugged them in and can listen. Can be very expensive if you have paid to ship a heavy set of speakers and find you have to dig deep for replacement drivers as soon as they arrive.
I think both the speakers in question perform as well as their price tag allows. They are a filler between the real cheap and naff "disco boxes" and the more expensive and for shure better quality ranges made by both companies. As has been said everyone has to start somewhere and I think both these speakers are acceptable entry level units that perform well if used within their limitations.

I did not like the JRX 115s, they could handle high volumes well, but without an eq there was zero bass and they weighed nearly 80 pounds a piece. Much happier now with my Mackie Thumps, but you would need at least 4 of them for larger events (my gigs rarely exceed 100 people)

@Em
If you were looking at a Single Sub + Sat layout the 112's would be a better bet. Smaller and able to cover the frequency spectrum down low enough for the 118 to take over. Using the 115s in a setup like this will result in far too much energy arround the 150- 250Hz range. Without some clever EQ work this will tend to sound muddy and flat. There is an issue with matching the levels as the 118 is a 4 Ohm unit ant the 112s are 8 Ohm. The NU3000 is capable of running these but you would only be able to use one chan for the Sub and the other chan to run a pair of 112s or 115s. Meaning of course that this restricts you to Mono operation. Using the amps DSP to set the crossover frequency to arround 100Hz will work nicely but you would have to adjust the respective levels on chan 1 and 2 to avoid an overblown low end. So good and bad sides with this one. Good is that its fairly cheap and will give fair volume level with good room filling ability if set up correctly. Bad is that it would be Mono only and relative to some other options available could be considered awkward and heavy to move arround. The 112s are surprisingly heavy and the 118 is also not a unit for the faint hearted to carry any distance.
Other Sub/Sat systems like the B52 for example might well be closer to what you need and might help avoid pulling your back out. These systems are specificaly designed to work together as a unit and are usualy simple to set up.
Good luck
@ Timmy. Yep have to agree with you mate. The 115s while capable of producing respectably high SPL will not do low end Bass. They just can't so its not worth trying to make them. All you end up with is the horrible Smily Face EQ, a flat out amp and usualy a blown bass unit. Big Bass needs a big box and plenty of amp power. The 115s have a driver which can go low but the size of the cab restricts the driver to not much below 100Hz good for punch but no use for the deep stuff. So for DJ's a Sub is a must with these things.
Cheers all

I've bee using Yamahas for 2 years with no problems at all. Great sound if you can make them sound right: eq's maximizers, etc. I also been using those jbl's jrx115 at church…!!! don't know, jbl's jrx is the lower series and for me they are ok… that's it.
I would suggest you Yamaha.
