When is a speaker too damned big?

[Mr. dB]

Thats a hella lot of very serious bass. Music?

Live music. Bands.

Thanks...I sat glued for 40 minutes awaiting a response fron the dB boss.


I just bought 4 pretty cheap 12" 'DJ' speakers for providing sound in satellite rooms. Tough thing to be prepared for almost any scenario without going in the hole for 10 years.

Don't like used speakers. They can be ruined so quickly.

Hardly. You won't find Peavey equipment at a big show. Most big systems use woofers made by JBL, EV, Aura, McCauley, RCF, or B&C.

Oh, like the big night clubs use ?

Those brands listed are what you are most likely to find inside the boxes on a major arena tour.

Could be a hardware problem.

Unless you just prefer mono over stereo.

I had two 12" Rockford subs w/500w two channel amp before and they didn't sound as good for bass as when I downgraded to 125w single channel with one 12" sub. I've heard others say the only advantage of two subs is loudness, at the sacrifice of sound depth/tightness.

I had about 1400 watts blowng through some dual 18's today.

Tripped the circuit breaker on a pro DJ multi outlet.

Seemed quiet enough until I stepped a 100 yards away. Seemed louder then.

You need one of these

LOL @ comparing a car stereo amp to pro audio gear.

The price is what grabbed me

This is what I meant

 

[UA_Iron]

Yeah you cant fuck with pro audio gear - there's only so much that a 12V car battery can really make happen.

I have a set of klipsch
with a subwoofer the size of a subaru
