Default which active speaker for bass and vocals ?

I am looking for an active speaker to use for small gigs that can
handle bass and vocals, it needs to be small and light enough to take
on the metro here in Paris, i'm considering this one:

BEHRINGER EUROLIVE B212D http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/B212D.aspx

Do you think the 12" speaker will handle bass ? and also vocals ? or
do i need a 15" speaker ?


Bass and vocals are the worst possible combination. You want good clean
midrange reproduction, and you also want low end response. It's hard to
get both of these together, especially in a small box.

I'd go with a small bass amp and then separate 8" coaxial for the vocals.
