A single 15" top!
I'm deliberately posting this in the Public Forum in hopes that anyone who reads this knows what not to do. Those who already frequent this Forum probably already know this.
My wife and I invited 3 other couples to our local Latin Dinner/Dance last night - a non DJ'ing night for me, I was looking forward to some dancing.
We were there early, I got to watch the "DJ" set up. Macbook Pro, Pioneer controller, lighted facade, one 15" powered sub, one 15" powered top, in a 50' by 50' room with about 100 people. I said to myself this is not going to be good. I was wrong - it was even worse than I could have imagined. This guy managed to put out the absolute worse sound I have ever heard. In the direction the top was aimed, it was way too bright - anyplace else it sounded like mud. Everyone was complaining to him, so I chose not to get involved, and without another speaker, there is really nothing I could have done. He ruined everyones' night.
Background music, fine. Ceremony music, fine. Please, don't ever do this for your main gig.
