id definitely go for Peavey bass bins. The black widow drivers never break.
weve had some PEAVEY HiSYSIIs in the band (replaced NEXOs with them) for years and theyre ultra reliable and cheapish too. (you can pick up a pair for under £200 - and sell them for the same price in 5 years time..they never depreciate once they hit that price)
they will also compliment the tops perfectly and work as a 'system', rather than mis matched tops and bins.
lets face it - reliability is key. and theyre a cracking sound too. (if quite big - although smaller than the 4ft NEXOs!!).
Ul115 or ul118 bass bins ideal for your ul15 tops run with a pv2600 amp (this will give you 900w program per side on the bass bins using the built in croosover of the amp then use the thru outs on the amp to the amp that runs the ul15 tops), may take some time to save up for them but worth it. I use the ul115 with my ul15 tops and never had a complaint with the sound quality.
As already suggested use stands for your ul15's your sound will carry further and a bit more low eq from the mixer.

for the smoothest bass sound, try creating a 'smiley face'. (if youre eq is sliders etc) ie from left to right your eq will look like
U (but shallower)
ie the bass is fairly up past mid way, the high fairly past mid way and the mids below mid way (scooped out).
or if you have dials try;
high at 2o'clock
mids at 10o'clock
bass at 2 o'clock
then turn loud and if needed adjust a tiny bit more bass from there or cut the mid more.
it may be your mid setting disguising your bass (turning the bass to full doesnt mean youll get a better bass sound). this setting will give you a clearer more defined bass sound.
worth a try until you can afford some bass bins. good luck
The EQ curve depends entirely on the speakers and acoustics of the room.. sorry but smiley face curves are laughed at in the pro audio world!

for someone who cant get a good bass response out of his speakers, its a good quick easy place to start.
im well up enough on bass and bass settings to know that.
theres a million other 'bass boosting' settings (depending on what type of bass you want), but i havent got a year to list them all.
