Subwoofer size to rock any bar.

If budget isn't too contrictive, go QSC. They have one of the best performing speakers in it's class (only matched by a certain JBL line which I can't recall), but what puts them over the top is their warranty. 6 years, and when you are dealing with mobile equipment, that's a HUGE bonus since anything can happen.

You need approximately 1.21 gigawatts for that.

budget is constrictive i need something to get me by until money is flowing 500 bucks is the budget with some play thats why i was looking at the behringer but i see a ton of used ones for sale that need repair on musicians friend and guitar center. Im guessing they are either a popular sub or they arent that durable.

Get what you pay for. Around these parts, there tends to be a more positive view of Behringer. Personally, I don't like them due to their legacy of awful reliability. Think about saving up for QSC or that JBL. It may take longer, but you'll be VERY happy you waited.

Any thoughts on alto subs?
What style of sub folded horn? Or regular is where I am at now in my purchase plans but don't know what to choose

Most 15" and 18" subs will "barely fill the room" unless you spend at least 1K per driver. Something like a single KW181 or PRX718 is a start. Anything cheaper than that and you are really just wasting your time and your money when you decide to upgrade later.

If they like their music loud with some prominent bass, you're looking at at least 2 decent 18" subs off 2-4KW, corner loaded.

what are you talking about man?

First of all, the difference between 1 sub and 2 subs is +3 db.

This one sub will pound an average size bar (50 feet x 60 feet, low ceiling) He did say bar, not club.

You can build a tuned 40Hz-60Hz sub (or anywhere in between) which will not only FILL a room but potentially damage the pointing (mortar between the bricks) which runs off a pair of £15 eBay drivers (those Skytec "Kevlar" ones). It's called a tapped horn sub, Google away and be astonished.

I've got my own PA gear and I'd say def go with 18" or bigger. My PA speakers have 15" in them as it is. You can always turn the bass down, but you cant magic it up if you require more and you only have 15"!
