You can get Behringer EP-2500's which give 1200w x 2 for $250 if you look around.

Hell, if you can afford it go for a pair or quad up a set of Servodrive Bass Tech 7's. Those'll make your ears tingle at 20 HZ.

i work in a bowling alley, and we use 4 15's each in their own band pass enclosure. They are JBL but they are really loud and sound good. We are a 24 lane house, just for reference.

Know what pal, I'll save you *a lot* of pain here and suggest very strongly that you look at PA-based units - JBL, EV, Eminence, etc. Given the size of venue you need efficiency, low distortion and not-so-low frequencies.
PA subs only really need to go down to ~45Hz to sound good in areas that big. I would suggest you go poking around a few PA forums to get some feedback on what you can use.

Best,

I think you took the words out of my mouth...

A car audio subwoofer is not going to be what you want for this application... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Also, you are NOT going to be able to cover that area with 2x subwoofers... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
