Alright guys need some honest advice in regards to which option to take to reinforce my current setup.

Current setup: 2 Alto TS212 and 1 Behringer Self-powered 18 inch Sub

Genres - EDM CDM Hip Hop Top40

Option #1 - 2 Peavey PV118 18 inch Subs and an amp (Yamaha PS7000S or Behringer EP4000).

Option #2 - 2 Harbinger HPX215-BBE Self-Powered Double 15's

Option #3 - 2 Alto TS215 Self-Powered 15's

All this stuff is obviously used equipment but that is all I can afford at the moment.

Let me know which speakers out of these three options are gonna be the best reinforcement for my current setup.

Wish I had the $$$ for 4 Cerwin Vega EL-36's !!

Thank you for your input

Stick with what you have, all of your options are pretty much garbage and are not worth upgrading to..... in fact I wouldn't even call them an upgrade.

If this is all you can afford then this is not the time to be considering buying gear. Save money for at least another year then revisit your upgrade options.

This and this is why it’s always a bad idea to buy at the bottom (and too) of the cost / quality curve

Save your money and look to get powered subs in this range or better - Yorkville LS or ES series, EV EKX, ETX, JBL SRX, QSC 18. These are all known good performers with built in DSP and protection. Once you get your subs sorted upgrade the tops to a model in same line as your subs. You will end up with a good looking, good sounding system that should last for years and pay for itself many times over. Lesser gear will end up costing you more in repairs or upgrades. Most in this prosumer range have similar performance so pick the line that sounds best to you.
