Either retirement home socials or hospital intensive care unit parties!My only question, what kind of gig(s) are you using these for?
Do you really need 8-18" subs for these school dances?
Yes, these schools are used to having large sound systems for their events, and about 1/2 of these events will have between 800 to 1200 kids attend.
Peavey had just come out with the first series of IPR amps, when I heard the Jagermeister Mobile Stage for the first time. 8 double 18" cabinets, powered by (if I remember correctly) four IPR 6000's, so it was actually 16 woofer drivers in total. The setup was outside at Daytona Beach, and it was absolutely stunning for a "portable" rig - the kind of thing people with pacemakers should stay away from - loud and very low.Do you really need 8-18" subs for these school dances?
If you won't mind me asking, what can you fetch for a school dance with 800-1200 kids?
Around here about the most they are will to pay is $800 to 900.
That just floors me. In my area, it's usually smaller schools, maybe 150-200 kids and the price runs $500-$750. Not to mention, the schools are so fickle and over-controlling. I don't see how you guys make anything off schools. They're just not worth my time.
There are some tactics to overcome price 1000 kids $10 a tickets, hmmm that’s $10,000.00 where’s all that money go??? Hopefully some of it goes in your pocketThat is a large problem around here as the schools only look at price and don't care about the increase in equipment that it takes to do these larger shows.
I just glad that I already had most of the equipment just sitting around. I will see how this all plays out, if they are not wiling to pay a little more I will just put everything back into storage.
