Nice one, just hope the scottish weathers as nice to us when we get up and running 🙂

Hope theres a multi rigger this year so we can test it against some of the big boys

Hey Boitech, looking at probably 1.5 or 2K system for Techno/Electro/House sort of sounds so need to be bass heavy. Thinkin maybe 6 Bins and 2 Mids, for indoor and outdoor use.

Do you know wheres good to get a second hand power amp?

we’ve picked up some reliable amps off ebay believe it or not…

picked up a pair of crowns in good working order for £350

:surprised

Try bonza sound services (guildford) http://www.bonza.demon.co.uk They don’t always keep the site up to date though so it’s best to give them a ring to find out what they have.

6 bins and 2 top boxes should well overshoot your 1.5 – 2k mark. If it’s techno electro and house you are playing you will not need large amounts of very low bottom end so 4 HD15 kick bins would do you very nicely. Look on speakerplans.com for the designs (if any of you are skilled in woodcraft) or ask around on the forum there as there are a lot of people setting themselves up as rig builders.

Bear in mind that 4 will set you back £1400-£1500 once they are loaded with drivers etc. Then you will need an amp to power them. If you are on a budget then look in to C-Mark amps as I’ve heard good things about them and they are stupidly cheap. Then you will need mid and top cabs plus the amps to power them. Not forgetting all the leads and processing equipment etc. This may well take you over your planned budget budget so I might have just wasted my time typing all that out but I’ll leave it in anyway :bigsmile:

If you would like to stay away from dated designs and second hand equipment, but would like to stay within your budget, then another option would be this: http://www.voidaudio.com/product_detail.asp?id=46

It comes complete with everything you need and is easy to set up. Sounds great and will give you the experience you need to move on to bigger systems later on if you want to upgrade.

If you head on over to proaudioparts.com then I think you can get these systems for about £1800. It doesn’t look like much but will probably outperform 6 dodgy reflex bins and cheap ancient top cabs.
