i was wondering what kind of speakers and amps doew everyone use out there. i have a set of cerwin vegas and a pair of old gemini with an american audio v3000 plus 1500 watt amp. i blew my tweeter in one of the ceriwn vegas and i think a heat sensor is out in my amp If you want to see my set up check out my website at www.freewebs.com/stillrunninwild
 
There are about as many systems in use as there are DJs on this site.

Thunder is right, but regardless, here's what we use.

2x JBL 15" passive driven by a QSC
2x Yamaha 15" passive driven by an old Carver amp
 
4 Cerwin Vega AB36B subs powered by QSC
4 Yamaha S115V's Powered by QSC
2 Talmus XT215 Dually 15's (Made in Spain) powered by Yamaha
2 Yamaha BR15's (I use them as monitors) Powered by a Musicson (Made in Spain) amp

It all depends how much thump you want
 
Depending on what we are doing....

2 Cerwin Vega MV15s

4 JBL JRX 115

2 JBL JRX 118

2 Cerwin Vega B36

2 QSC PLX 2402

Yamaha P5000

Yamaha P7000

Nikko Alpha 230

An old JVC Intergrated amp that has better sound quality than all the above..I rarley use it now though

Looking at buying a pair of NX55P or NX 750P haven't decided yet
 
I wasn't aware that AA marketed a 1500 watt amp. ;)

Since you asked:

Amps ~ Carvin DCM1500, DCM2000 & DCM2500. Yep those numbers represent total RMS power dissipation when bridged to a 4 ohm load.

Speaker systems ~ All Carvin, pair of dual 10" two-way Red Line cabs, pair of dual 15" two-way Club Line cabs & pair of trapezoid single 18" front-radiating bass cabs. We can tri-amp the full monte but rarely load more than a bi-amped rig these days. :)
 
Depend on youre budget and what you really want.How much you will spend?I say nothing before i dont know that.
The best and easyest way is to conntact Ben and talk to him.

Well... Im going out on a limb here... Hope I dont piss anyone off... But your charging $350 for a 4 hour event...??? Mind you the with the equipment you have, Your only going to be worth $350...
AA, Gemini, That the stuff you start with, not run a successful DJ Business with...
Get some Good Tops, Decent Amp, Also, I was on the website... Winamp... I hope you have some sort of addon that allows you to play more than 1 track at a time...
As for my setup, Its usually 2 NX55Ps from yorkville, but I have used FBTs, and If I need a sub I bring out the Mackie 18" Powered Sub... Dont remember the model number for that one...
 
Tell me a few things and I'll be happy to make a recommendation for an affordable, quality system that will sound much better than what you have, and you won't have to worry about failure anytime in the near future.

1 - What types of events do you typically do?

2 - How many people are typically at these events?

3 - How many gigs do you anticipate doing per year on average?

4 - What are you comfortable spending on a system.

You can PM me these answers if you'd like to keep them off of the public forum.

Thanks,

Ben
