Hey Rick, Im doing an outdoor prom on a football field for about 300 kids. Will 2 RCF ART 732 tops and 2 RCF 708 AS subs be enough power? Btw I love and appreciate all your vids. Thank you!
This is a great video but you forgot to add one thing that can derail this whole video…..people, and drunk people at that. I did a wedding where I lugged my SRX’s into it thinking they would be plenty. Well 200 drunk LOUD MF’ers roll in pushing 94 decibels just talking, no shit 94 Db! I had to literally scream into my mic all night to make announcements it was a shit show. They put me in a corner with tables in front of me so I couldn’t go to 11 on the volume. Plus trying to crank out 110 Db was not feasible with the SRX setup. I needed my RCF arrays……
fun fact I did a party of 200 people indoor with just two medium-type tops and there was enough sound using them at half volume
hi Rick
have you already eard HK POLAR 12?
I’m thinking about buying it and analyzing the specifications is a very good system, in my opinion the best of its kind
What do you think?
Who is the last person you speak to about sound renforcement? ….a DJ
Excellent …
BRO! I have $1000, looking to purchase my first PA system for Karaoke and DJ sets in a venue of about 100-150 people. Which rig should I get?
The best answer is usually 12” tops and an 18” sub.
Get jbl prx if you can
If not, get EONs
SRX is not worth the price increase to the majority of people
That set up will pretty well take care of 90% of the people watching this.
I have a pair of Turbosound IP300s. Ridiculous sounding for the money
Question:
How do we select the left speaker for our events?
Can you PLEASE tell me what type of laser light that is at the beginning of the vid!
Good Day
Will 12 inch top & 12 inch sub. Can do the job in a mid size room with 80 people?
Thank you for all the tips and information!
To be honest I liked this I usually don’t like videos over 20 mins nice info
Thanks bro cause I was wondering about speakers
Rolled with QSC’s for years! K10’s for small gigs and ceremonies.. K12’s for most weddings/larger events. I upgraded to the K12.2’s and regret it! The sound was just not as “full”… legacy 12’s are hard to find. What’s the go to “catch all” speaker that’s comparable to the K12. Considering a line array system.
So this might make me sound kinda like an idiot, but I bought a set of Alto TS315’s to use if the weather is crappy, and I actually think they sound as good as my PRX812’s.
Good Vid, list is missing QSC KS118 which are incredible Pro Sub Woofers
Thank you
Rick you have done reviews on the Mackie lines.where would you put SRM series tops? Our local guitar center does not have any series higher the thumps, zlx, or the eon’s. Most weddings for me range between 125-175 people both inside and outside. I am looking at pairing SRM 15" with the DRM 18" subs. Thanks for any information.
Powered Meyer?need some info!
RCF My dream
Jbl time is over. Martin audio
For clubs. Meyer sound for big edm. The 100% first order
.
i kept skipping and you kept blah blah blahing and never let us hear what anything actually sounds like. this is the kind of bait and switch youtube video i hate. thumbs down. i came here to listen to speakers, not you talk about them.
Curious what your thoughts are on live stereo. Do you guys run your systems in stereo? Sometimes? Always? Never? Why or why not. Cheers!
Also, your thoughts on powered vs passive speakers. I’m always looking for the BEST sound result. So I want to put together components that will most likely result in the best overall sound quality. The best systems I have heard almost always use passive speakers with high quality power amplifiers. Has that been your experience? I realize that powered speakers are handy, but I tend to think that if you want really good quality power, you’re much better off selecting that separately.
I have 2 yamaha dxr 15s and they do well. Thinking of buying thier 18 inch powered subs next
Just know, the intro was so crazy I LEGALLY had to leave a like. Super long time subscriber and fan, great seeing you grow broski 🙏
Guys keep in mind that it’s very easy to overdo things at weddings. When I first started out I used to bring big systems and when I got there I often discovered that the venue or the crowd did not want to get blasted out of the place. Often my systems were overkill. I learned that it’s better to just bring enough.
That also allowed me to play solo without an assistant since the setup was easier and lighter. So now I use an RCF Evox 8 and will sometimes bring my 15 inch sub. The Evox gets the job done at weddings and bdays of 100 or even 150 guest. The way that I play I like to push bass so I like to bring that sub.
It would be cool to have an 18 inch sub or two but now the setup turns into a 2 man gig.
I should mention that I push the Evox to it’s max with my crowds of 100 to 150.
Hy Rick! Nice videos. I’m following you for some while. Question: 2 The Box, DSP 15“ tops, and 2 The Box 18" woofers should do an 300 people weeding in a medium to large room? What’s your idea? Keep up! Nice videos man
I’ve got a sub in my car and wanna add a big speaker with it in the back so I can park up for DIY events and some local spots. It’ll be outside and be anywhere between 50-200 people and it’s possible for me to stop in a railway tunnel.
Any suggestions?
I have a lot of space I have an imported Nissan Z11 look at the boot space which opens like a door not a hatch.
I want it big and loud.
Can you help me? I need speakers for rave partys, myb 100 people. What should i buy?
Why don’t you include the Yamaha DZR series? They definitely hang with JBL SRX any day of the week.
I’m experimenting with a EXTRMELY modular and portable setup where I have MANY speakers that run on lifepo4 batteries and also can run lighting due to each having an inverter. I have 4 sets put together. They each consist of a 10 inch sub on 900w RMS and a 6.5 inch woofer, and two 4 inch mids(200w RMS). Each one seems to be good for up to 100 people. the setup actually doesn’t consist of a single PA speaker at all and people LOVE it.
Very kind thank you
Thanks for the video! What speaker do you recommend for vocals in a rehearsal studio? The room size is 18 x 10 ft.
African wedding we do 500 to 700 people. What rig would you recommend
yes well said bro,,DJ Darius from fyzabad,Trinidad here
A single 18 and a single 15 is no where close to being loud enough for 1000 people.
RCF TTL 6A anytime, over all of these!
OP, I’m not sure if you can answer this for me, but I’m looking for either a PA system or something like a JBL Partybox to use as speakers for an outdoor projector for the occasional movie night. Do you have any suggestions?

Awesome, you answered exactly what I wanted to know, whether I need a sub for 2 15 tops, or get 2×12 tops and a 15 inch sub! Thanks I just needed confirmation!
JBL and EV is all I run. EV monitors work great for DJing, JBL highpaks run bands and live music.
It’s obvious that you like JBL speakers- LOL!!!
I have an RCF Evox 8 and just ordered an Evox 8 JMix. I sing as I DJ so I use a QSC K10 as floor monitor.Combined weight is just a little over 100 lbs.Talk about portability.Can’t wait to use the built in mixer.Now I can remove my E.Q.,Sonic Maimizer. The Soundcraft mixer from the rack.Considerably lighter.Have two yorkville subs to add for larger crowds over 250.
Thank you for the great info!
Thanks for the list in the video description. Very useful
You don’t like QSC very much?
Test DB Technologies Opera Unica
Great video. Would I need a sub if I go with the 3way speakers (JBL PRX 835) for weddings up to 200 people?
