Fellers what power amp do you suggest I get that puts out 1000wrms @4ohms?
Using this for some single 18 passive sub's.
Looking for best bang for buck here.

[kaylex]

question..

have two gvx gemini 18 subs... Dont really like the rs series .. and how they sound for tops...

what do you guys suggest..??

also thinking of getting a processor to drive these things ... what you suggest.. bang for buck /???

[marvin23]

hey man, i agree with u on the gemini rs......passed through a pair...they barely pulled through even as monitors...

for tops to match those subs (had one of those also)...i suggest a pair of the behringer b215d (about 6000 for the pair)...these are exceptional performers for the price. if your budget is higher, you cant go wrong with the new jbl eon 615 (around 9k for a pair)...this is just my opinion.

here's a link provided by cet (located in maritime plaza, barataria)..http://myemail.constantcontact.com/Powe ... bU...(this version is a bit old though)

as for processors..i dont have much experience with those...however my cousin has a dbx driverack on a pair of jbl g2's and it really makes those old g2s shine.......

[SmokeyGTi]

Kaylex, you can get the dbx driverack px,
it's among the cheapest of the driverack series while still giving you dbx quality sound. they are marketed towards those with powered speakers.
someone has one for sale in the miscellaneous section for $1800.

guys i'm in the market for some passive tops, i have about 400wrms at 8 ohms or 600wrms at 4 ohms to play with. they need to be loud, looking to highpass them at about 90-100hz. message me if you got.

message me if you have anything.

update: also looking for a 4 space rack case

[racedriverpro]

Fellas I need some help urgently. I need to move some heavy speaker boxes without handles and heavy amps. They are located In hilly area inaccessible to vehicles. Shortish walk then up a hill where vehicle is parked. Looking for ideas that will make this process easier with limited manpower. Thanks in advance.

[X_Factor]

scrap the amp rack, carry an amp at a time...especially if the rack has 5000vz.....pain!

as for the boxes, all you need is 4 fellas...each grab a corner and that should be easyish

[racedriverpro]

Looking like Il definitely have to scrap the rack. Trying to make up something to make griping the boxes easier

[gt4tified]

Where locally can I get a pair of Shure M44-7 cartridges with needles to buy?

[X_Factor]

try balroops

Jeez man, it must have a track or something? How did it get there? Can't a trolley work to bring out the equipment?

By the way, de hell ah man doing with all that music in a place 'inaccessible' to vehicles? Helicopter bring it? How it have Electricity there? the T&TEC helicopter? And water?

Oh on a more serious note, maybe you could also try taking the speakers out the box so they will be much lighter.

[racedriverpro]

^^yea it have a narrow track the boxes were built and assembled where they stand loaded with single jbl 2226. It ain't impossible just trying to make the move and return easier.

Advice on a backyard system: I initially considered gemini rs415 & gvx 18" sub but after reading some threads no way. Then I considered a ev zlx115p alone. Then thought of a Yorkville nx750p alone. Then I heard an ev zlx 12" alone, nice and clean but lack some lows. Then I heard the jbl prx735, wowwww. All in one package for 9K. The ev etx35p is also 9k. The jbl prx725 is also 9k. Which is the best? Are these good prices? Should I consider a 1 X 1 instead of the three way full range? Advantage/Disadvantage? What's a good 1 X 1 combination? Where have good prices? Thanks!

[racedriverpro]

JBL or Yorkville. Rent a amp dealers for jbl usually have good prices. 1x1 gives better quality.

[westaudio]

Have a wharfedale pro 1800 going for $2200

If there was any 'best' system out there, everyone would have had it. It all boils down to the following criteria:
1) Budget
2) Size constraints? (Transport / mobility issues?)
3) Application (DJ, PA, or both?)
4) How long you plan to keep it? (some cheap systems sound good, but does not last, and parts difficult to get)

You need to do the work and tailor a system for your own taste and requirements.

The best 1X1 combination I heard was a Bose setup. Absolutely phenomenal. I could never afford that though.

Another factor could be what type of venue (indoor or outdoor).
I think Bose is definitely top of the line in performance.Heard them a few times in indoor applications and they were great, but they are very expensive.
JBL and Yorkville are two very good buys.
I prefer the yorkville because of the power and they can work in both indoor and outdoor applications

[nesha1717]

Thanks for the responses! 1X1 for sure. JBL for me, Yorkville too pricey. Budget 10K.

[racedriverpro]

^^ cool. Btw u wud be able to get an indoor demo of the jbls at rent a amp.

[trishala]

[racedriverpro]

Anybody familiar with American audio V-01 plus series amplifiers? I have a 2001 and one of the fans doesn't switch on. I opened up the amp and confirmed that the fan is working by switching it with the other....

I need some tops for XMAS?? what you guys suggest?
I dont like RS - gemini and I heard the Behringers is la la. Budget is 6 k .. what you suggest

[cressida_override]

which behringer are you refering to? cause the B215D is one of the best bang for buck self powered tops you can find. The newer boxes with the built in players an bluetooth however is a waste of time!

I agree. For a budget of 6k, the Behringer are the best u'll get. Gemini, and all the followers is a waste. I think the sound stream that steves brings down sounds ok too eh, but I have not done a side by side comparison to the behringers cause I don't know anyone personally who has the boxes

[Black_Primera]

What about the upgraded mackie thumps (2014)...they have been getting great reviews, so too the Alto Professional TS115A, made by numark i believe...Of course the behringer b115. This is going just from reviews. U might have to speak to someone who owns them or go listen them yourself.

just keep practicing man

you have a good controller there

to practice timing and stuff I just loop a random beat , then set cue points to stuff like instruments/vocals and I try to make a song

[Talibansound]

Did couple parties , a wedding...didn't do bad !! But got to get it better....think I play songs a bit too long..!varies on type doh ... I usually go on what the crowd wants, rather than focus in what I actually practiced and put into crates ..So all an all changing from soca to cuntney to old soca to dancehall becomes very hard for me ... But thanks for the advise so far...
