We have the York 700s and they are fabulous.
They are okay, and honestly, the LS720P is much better than most subs mentioned on this thread; but I have met several people who love those Yorkville subs (mostly because a local music store really pushes them on people for rentals) and thought they were so great, just because they'd never really heard PA subs that actually were good for their application.
There is a large difference between subs that are good for typical bar-band kick drum reinforcement, and subs that cover the whole range of a bass guitar. Coincidentally, a sub that works well for everything a bass guitar can put out is also a great sub for modern "dance music" that DJs play at bars and clubs.
-3dB or better to 40Hz is a good figure for this type of use. The LS720P basically does that (although I do not think it sounds particularly good.) There is content below 40Hz but not very much; however a really good sub that can reproduce it will sound very impressive compared to one that can't.
If you don't believe me, I really suggest you take your iPod, load up some of the music you play at your gigs, go to a store that sells the JBL SRX subs, and ask for a demonstration.
