Choosing the right set up.

[philallen11]

Hey guys,

I have a gig for a social, its going to be in a school hall and we are looking at 250+ people

I don't really know much about speakers, which I probably should. I need to know if I should go for a set up with a) 4 tops and 2 subs or 2 tops and 1 sub.

If A, is what you believe is the right set up, what should I do with sub set up. I have read that there can be interference/delay if not placed correctly but I wasn't sure it was talking about when DJing or a live band, so does this concept still apply. If so, how should I place the subs for best sound. I would rather do a option A) as louder is better haha

Thanks guys.

Interference an delay should be fine seeings you arent running a massive system.

It's always hard to gauge but certainly better to have more than not enough, will depend on the brand and quality of your speakers too.

They will be 4 JBL tops and the 2 subs im not sure. They are amazing quality.

Should i keep the subs together or each side of the tops?

You will have no travel with sound 2 tops 2 subs and rig tops on top of subs and turn down base range. Otherwise with 1 sub put it in front of you . With two no closer than 10 metres apart
