Ok, the forum has convinced me I must reevaluate my setup and invest in a passive rig for outdoor gigs. I have a graduation party coming up over Memorial Day weekend for about 100 high school grads in a residential back yard. I'm told I'll be on the deck overlooking the lawn that sweeps out into a field beyond the yard. Later in the year I'll be using the same rig for the road-side mountain-top parties I've mentioned before.
I'm going to unload two of my ELX 112ps (leaving me with two remaining) and I'll keep my twp ELX 118ps.
I see good reviews of the EV Tour X TX1152. With a 60x40 horn, I'm thinking this will be a good outdoor speaker. I'd intend to bring along my 118ps, keeping them with me under cover, while running the TX1152's out in the open. Please let me know your thoughts on these tops.
As far as the amp, it appears the QSC GX5 is a popular model for the price. I've also seen mention of the Peavey IPR3000 which is the same price but looks like a bit more powerful. This whole setup is going to run about $1,800. I'd prefer to keep it closer to $1,500... but I'm going to push my budget a bit to pick up good mid-tier stuff.
Thanks as always.
