Ian Parker Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 ebay is your friend. i just had a browse , there are 100's of complete set ups for sale. if its a small to medium place i would go for 300w 12 or 15" full range speakers with a 1000w amp. ( lots of tech issues regarding output/ohms etc ). the amp needs to deliver a lot more output than the rated wattage of the speakers, not the other way around as people think! the 15" drivers will give you the bass response. a good pair of 12's will suffice in a very small place.... (the Robin Hood , Edwinstowe copes very well with 12" drivers). please bear in mind if you require a huge amount bass response, the amp/speakers need to move a lot of air, therefore, large set up is favourite. my old band used 15" spkrs with a 1000w power amp and never suffered with volume issues at any gig we ever did. hope this helps, remember, its better to have plenty in reserve rather than pushing a system to its limit. p.s. www.class-d.com are based in mansfield woodhouse, very knowledgable guys and ultra cheap reliable stuff. i would recommend , bought lots of gear off them in the past.

Is this true? I've got 2 whopping amps, but never dared to use them as they are much bigger output than my speakers. Edited August 17, 2009 by quinvy
Ian Parker Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 (edited) Quinvy, 'clipping' the amp means you're trying to push too much power into the speakers (for more volume etc). basically means that it aint big enough. you can limit the Gain of course but that will also limit the volume. lots more speakers are blown from underpowered amps than over powered. usual course of action is to use an amp twice the size of your speakers 'continuous' wattage output. then if a huge bass emphasis for example is in a tune, the speaker will 'ask' for more power...... hence the headroom in the amp. hope that kind of explains Edited August 17, 2009 by soul-dancers
