I actually DJ with these. I find them to be great for what I do. I just wonder what a good subwoofer would be to run with them? I'm sure a lot of higher priced DJ's with high priced stuff would fall on the floor laughing at my speakers and lights(seriously I use velcro and little party lights LOL), but I always get compliments about how awesome I am. I'm more about the music than the tech stuff so I'm still learning about the tech end of things.

Basically, one of these speakers is a master and the rest become slaves on the Bluetooth link. If they did it right, 1st speaker is the master, 2nd is the 1st slave then 3rd would be the 2nd slave and so on. So they should be chainable with the Bluetooth but if not, you could run as many linked together as you want with the XLR Pass Throughs.
