  • No, no, no... If you don't really know what you're talking about, please don't give advice.

  • @jgroves1989 10dB SPL is twice the perceived volume according to our ears. Psycho-acoustical.

  • i need help people please help me. im a beginer with pa systems and i dont know any thing at all.ive never had 1 befor but i need 1 for my rock band. ive got a 75 watt guitar amp which im happy with,it is good enough for a gig ect. but i need to get a pa. please tell me the basic info that i need to know like. how many watts and which pa is ideal ect. thank you very much =)

  • @lucas2718 no. 20 watts is not enough power 

  • I have two Realistic brand PA speaker cabinets I bought in 1981. They are 20 watts-a-piece. Will that provide enough volume and clarity to DJ an outdoor gig with roughly 350 attendees?

  • i like your yellow dot idea! x

  • A monitor isn't at the side, it's on the floor usually. 45 degrees normally so you can hear. Blimey!

  • From asking questions, it seems that people rate thumbs down is bacause it doesn't answer their question. For example, you can search "speaker configuration" and end up with a basic vid on how to unscrew the speaker stand, etc. It would be helpful to suggest a forum site as youtube is general.

  • Funny how most people hate on this guy but I highly doubt any of them made a successful career out of managing sound and designing systems. Do people pay you to come and speak about sound setups, probably not so shut up already!

  • would you do it for my atheist community?

  • I HATE ALL THESE EXPERT VILLAGE SPEAKERS

  • you dont know what your talking about go back to school dude, and if i ever see you on a gig you will walk , for shure
