I have a dance for a Highschool this Sat, it is in a gym.
they are expecting aprx 125 people. This is only a 2hour dance from 9-11, but I have to be set up by 5:30 because its a dinner and National Leadership Confrence. Anyway, the last time I DJ'd there (in a similar but slightly smaller room), I took my 2 EV Forcei25's and 2 LS800P's because they had over 400 people. This time Im not sure if I should just take one sub even though the room is slightly larger since its only 2 hours. I rent the Ls800's so I want to save some cost.
what would you suggest? do I have to fill a large room of sound even for just 125 people? or am I just being lazy?(be honest, I respect your opinions):sqwink:
 
Remember, people absorb sound. The number of people will be more than cut in half, meaning you will not have nearly as much damper for the bass. I think only one sub would be enough, even if the room is somewhat large, because it will still boom with that little bit of people in it.
 
I would NEVER do a HS dance with less than two powered 800 watt 18" subs.

Only because I'm fussy about the sound, and I don't need to rent because I own all my equipment.

Note that this is a moot point because I have a FOUR HOUR MINIMUM for all events......one of the benefits of being at the top of the DJ food chain...LOL

My mastercard commercial:

A mid sized high school dance - a couple hunderd bucks

rental of equipment - a few more hundred bucks

Matt's ego = priceless

hahahahahahahaha
 
thanks,
I do have a four hour minimum which they are paying,
I own 2 Cerwin vega earthquake subs, but don`t feel like taking them since they are huge and its only a 2hour event, thats why I'll get the Powered. I dont always rent, but its just easier to load/unload, just wasnt sure if one would be sufficient.
 
I guess I'm cheaper than I am lazy. Not when it comes to buying gear, but as far as spending extra to rent. I'd be the dumb guy that went and bought the big stuff I didn't need :sqlaugh:

I would personally take the earthquakes (or maybe just one) since you already own them. I've never had to rent gear so I don't know what the cost is there, but if they're paying for a 4 hr. event anyway.... treat it as a four hour event :sqbiggrin:

On another note... this is where I can be a pushover: Making them pay for 4 hours even though it's only a 2 hour event. I would love to be able to just stand firm, but I have to fight myself to not just be the nice guy. Anyone else have that problem too?
 
Take the Earthquakes...Make a good impression and you might get alot more from them
 
thanks everyone, I have decided to take the earthquakes.
first it will let me hear them together with my EV's which I've never done (I usually couple my Yorkville A15's with them), it should be awesome!
second, I'll give them the best darn 2hours for their money since they are paying for the min 4hrs.
They are a repeat client and I've done at least 4 events for them in the past 10 months, so they deserve it.
They usually pay much more when they have a 5hour dance and thats when I take the extra 2 LS800P's. I'll buy the LS800's this Nov when Long&Mcquade (here in Canada) has their 0% financing on all Yorkville products. They do this every year.
Im still giving them my Martin lighting rig this time too.
