Jonathan...using the set up in this video...what would you suggest for amps...like how many and what amp running what?

[ellaskins]

to DjCh3, 1, always try to use the same amps, as in all the same make, 2 try to get all the speaker boxes power to corespond to the amp power , but a higher out put on the amp is better that a lower out put, eg speaker box = 600w, get a 700, 800w amp.

[ellaskins]

to DJCH3, pt two, 3 ,always run the amp vol nearly all the way up and use the vol on the mixer to set the level of sound, 4 ,if each speaker box is 8 ohm and your amp is 4 ohm a side , you would need two speakers per side per amp.5, a good medium pa set up is a two way, so, music source, mixer, cross over/limmiter, amps , speakers.

If you take a 5.1 surround system, 505watts; 4x62watts 1x69watts 188watt woofer.(DTS, THX 96kHz 24-bit). Take 4 of these sets and make is so that the L-channel and R-channel each have 10 speakers (ie 634watts) and 4 subs (ie 752watt). Would that be a good system? How many people do you think it will serve? Good thing is they come with their own amps, no need to buy those anymore.

Apart from the practical use. 4x505 watts. Is that the same as 2020 watts? Or does it work differently with sound?

[ellaskins]

to abuisman, to be honest this would be a wast of time, you would be better off getting a set of 15" and horn with a good PA power amp. nice idea though!

also if you corner load your bass cabs you get more output.

[ellaskins]

to riothero313 i used to have a two twin 18 sub's next to each other , this way i would get 3 extra DB , which is about double the power out! I know what you mean! j

iv got £400 to spend, need some speakers, 15 inch sub any ideas?

[lelandwigren]

when it comes to PA i use the fender passport pd500 its a great little system. but it has a huge punch to it. its small but the sound is loud and clear. i play gigs in large halls avg 800people and this really gets the top and mid out there i do rock 2 nady psw18a for the low but in a small room/house party up to 100 people this system by its self really kicks

[stefanmplayer]

that depends on if it is in or outside

i would say some 1000 watt RMS would be more than adequate for 150 people

[chrisbabes67]

is 1000 watts loud to play other 100-200 people?

[Nasedo]

You should work as a music professor.

[djlfg4life]

iv got two 600 watt 12" carlsbro gammers and two skytec 300watt bassbins and i do 600 people fine in a big room as well its not to loud its just right

What Do People Think Or The Brand Herculie's (Think It's Spelt Right) Ive got Hercule's JEM Speaker's .. Name On The Grill's Are JEM .. But The Rear Amp Is By Hercule's So .. What You Guy's Think Good or Rubish

[Froasier]

to put it simply, a lot of small speakers is not as good as a couple big speakers, and consumer systems like this would not be practical for a number of other reasons such as durability
