JBL - PartyBox Encore Essential

For 150-200$ look out for a partybox encore essential (used or not) this is the only portable speaker that has heavy bass). Or even look out for some used 100 series partybox

For a powerful Bluetooth speaker under $200, the JBL PartyBox Encore Essential is a solid choice — loud enough for both indoor parties and outdoor salsa sessions. It’s portable, has 10 hours of battery life, and offers some water resistance for pool or beach use. If you're open to spending a bit more, the Soundcore Motion Boom Plus also packs great sound and bass for its size. Both should fit easily in your backseat.

Good luck finding what you want. I would guess that you need the next "class" of unit. If the flip is 10 or 12" long and 4" tall, I would expect you want something that is 12" x 12" x 10" or so. The size of a small guitar amplifier. Every time you double your distance from the source, the sound level drops 6 dB. You are probably wanting something that is 15 or 20 dB louder than what you have now, which means going way up in power and in displacement/cone area. Something with at least an 8" woofer and a real midrange is a good start. Something like the PartyBox Encore Essential, or the PartyBox 110 would almost certainly do what you want. But neither will fit in a normal sized duffle bag. You might look through this list of the 6 best "party speakers". The UE Hyperboom seems like it might be the ticket for you.

I've got the uboom x but I would recommend something else (lack of bass). JBL encore essential has good bass and is way loud. Check it out

Yeah that's my issue ; really wanna just get the 6 because of the quality, not the BS but now seeing the Soundcores are louder , idk if I should just get an Encore instead of wait and actually get a nice Bookshelf pair for my player.

Oh absolutely 💯💯💯 That's why I was alluding to that instead of getting the charge 6 like I've been planning too but now that I've seen the soundcore does go louder. I mindswell spend the extra whatever for the encore with the %20 off it's not much more but again at that price point I really need to just get some speakers for my table

If bass and loudness are your only concern, get a party box! Whatever the largest size is in your budget. I have an encore and certainly can feel the bass if indoors, but nothing to crazy. I also have a 320 and that thing you can feel inside or out, and it will absolutely rattle your walls and cabinets if your inside.

If those are your only options, go with either one of the Encores but none of these will be ideal for filling such a large space with sound. For reference the Partybox120 would be the minimum I'd reccomend. The XTREME4 is not a bad speaker but it won't be able to fill the space and it sounds very sharp and compressed at high volumes-- not exactly a pleasant sound especially for bass-heavy music. The Encores get slightly louder IIRC and sound better at high volumes (given the area you're looking to fill, you'll probably be using them close to max volume). If you don't need the microphones or the easily replaceable battery, you can save some money and go with the Encore Essential 2. Alternatively, I think a portable PA speaker may be better suited for your use case. A small portable PA like the Alto Busker or Mackie Thump Go will likely get louder than the Encores while still retaining the portability sounding good enough. And if you have more room in your budget check out the Bose S1 Pro or JBL EON ONE Compact for even better sound.

Jbl encore has the deepest bass in its class

Hello, personally for the same use as you I took a JBL PartyBox essential when I want big sound and otherwise for when I travel I took a Sony ult field 5 which costs less than 300 euros! I have a reloop mixtour pro controller and an iPad and I'm on djay pro

I don’t do this but I have a JBL partybox essential (the single woofer one) and it slaps
