I need some more sound but not terribly familiar with the which brands are good, etc. Looking for a 12"-15" pair of powered monitors/speakers, trying to find some for $500-600 for the pair. (Be nice to have more powerful monitors and would like to provide sound for a backyard.)
JBL Eons
Mackie Thumps ($300 for the 15" new)
RCF 312a - (cannot find used right now)
Yamaha
Anything else I should be considering? Any opinions on these?

Forget the Thumps as they'll run out of gas quickly.
With your budget, American Audio's new Sense12's are $ 500.00 a pair and the Sense15's are $ 600.00 a pair.

If you want great quality sound just buy a single RCF 312A. It will easlily handle your backyard. If you don't need anything super loud, can sacrafice sound quality and want a pair you can try the M-Audio GSR-12's for $300/pair. Hell you could get 4 of them within your budget.
Here is a link to a review thread of both the GSR 12's and GSR 10's. http://www.djforums.com/forums/showt...-GSR-10-Review Read through the thread for links on where to buy. Ebay has the best deal at $300 shipped or $350 shipped with stands and cables.
Aren't the sense series passive?
They do look all passive. Doesn't make much SENSE.

Mackie Thump 15s or Samson Auro D415s would be fine for a back yard and actually sound very good while providing nice bottom end as well. These are somewhat limited output wise, but for back yards and even smaller wedding type gigs, either will do just fine.

You might want to check the Alto Truesonic series too.
Save up to increase your budget and go with the RCF 's best price point, and overall sound quality.
