Tell me a little about your opinion of the performance of the MRX525's. Do they do what you want them to do, are they lacking anything? Other than reducing pack space, what improvements would you like to achieve as an upgrade to the system?
Personaly i tough it was the bomb when we received them. Now i know that i could make something better and i have the grant to do it. Where the idea of making this set.

Other than reducing pack space, what specific improvements you would like to achieve? What aspect of the listening or user/operating experience do you intend on making better?

For the size crowds you do the best mains would be SLA Pro, Simplexx 12, DR200, Jack 10 or 12, OTop 8 or 12, and DR200. Anything larger isn't going to be better, it's just going to be larger. If you're going to have a strong low end you don't get it with bigger mains, you get it with subs.

I just reread your original post and realized you hadn't actually asked for a cab recommendation. Is your mind made up on the Jack15 or are you open to recommendations?

Im open for recommendations. I just realised that the otop 12 would fit in my trunk and then i could put a sub on the back seat... Maybe a pair of t24, one t30 one t39 or even a silm t48. My favorite sound system is mtl bassix wich is 12 stack of t60 but that is way too big. But i like the idea of having one day 8 or 12 t30 v plated together. Can you stack sub that are not the same width but same driver?

Start shopping for a dbx Driverack. Considered mandatory gear for running horn loaded subs. Or any other signal processor that has adjustable Brick Wall Limiters... Behringer DCX2496, Ashly Protea, etc...

Unfortunately, limiters that are built into some amps are typically not effective brick wall limiters. :(
