Big Below 15k used that can play loud as heck

I moved into a way larger room, roughly 20x24 and the 802D’s just ain’t cutting the mustard. Looking for good options that can pound out bass in a large room with 500-1000 high end watts (pass or levinson etc)

Currently running 2 JL Fathom F113’s so it’s not low bass, it’s a speaker that can pump concert level music playing rap, hip hop, reggae, rock and classical/audiophile stuff  etc. but I need my rig to blast rap and hiphop impressively more than anything.

Agreed. Pro rig for that sort of experience. I had a Vox AC30 2×12" hooked up to the preamp back in time and it was VERY loud and that's only small stuff.

Careful with the ears too. Many of us have tinnitus. If your ears ring after a session, it’s too loud, and one day, it will not fade away.

And +1 to go pro.  Be sure to check out JBL and Meyer's sound.

Also, consider what the goal is.  If you want a club experience you should do multiple speaker arrays instead of 2, distributed and time delayed from a central location.   That will give even out the sound quality so that at the back of the house sounds as good as at the front, without needing to increase the volume of the fronts.

That's how to do it well.

For 15K, you can get the JBL speakers with 15 inch woofer and horn mids and tweets. You could also go with the Klipsch Cornwall IV and a couple of SVS SB 3000 Pro subs and still have plenty of money left over. The Klipsch would be on my short list.  I am thinking of buying the Cornwall IV in 2022 to try a different flavor in my office system.
