tom_1987 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Hi guys, im thinking of buying some speakers in the range of 600w-1000w each. What would you guys suggest? do you think it is better if I get bass and mids separate or a full range? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmills Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 First, forget worrying about power ratings without considering speaker sensitivity. What is the application, what is the budget, what is the room like, what coverage do you require?Nobody can suggest anything sensible without that basic information. Regards, Dan.

pisquee Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 What transport do you have to transport the system .... how much space is available in the vehicle, how heavy a load can the vehicle take?How many (strong) people will be available to carry said system?Will it need to be taken up flights of stairs?

Rob_Beech Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 What they said. lets take 2 examples of subs. Ok we're going to the extremes here, there is a massive difference in cost, size weight and everything else but it shows that 600watts means very little. the first example is this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-600W-BASS-BINS-D...1QQcmdZViewItem A poor excuse for a speaker with a maximum of 94dB? The second example is thishttp://www.dbaudio.com/en/systems/c_series/c4_sub/ rated at only 200watts it gives a further 41dB according to the specs on paper. There's lots more you need to tell us before we can even begin to make suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benweblight Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Budget would be useful..... Edit: Ooops! Not sure how I missed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Beech Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Ben, When Dan asks....What is the application, what is the budget, I think this question may have been brushed upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_1987 Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 Ok I shall include a little more detail. I am looking for a portable PA system that is able to be used in various venues in SE London/Kent. I have a Renault Trafic (lwb) van, so I have more then enough room to transport gear. There would be 3 people transporting the gear at each venue, I was thinking of a setup like this http://hkaudio.com/products.php?mode=prod&...k_id=2&id=9 Does anyone recommend HKAudio? I've just really started out put have up to around 8k to spend on a nice system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAATW Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I know of someone selling a HK contour rig if you wanted to go down the HK route. What sort of material will you be putting through the system and how big will the venues be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
