Outdoor shows...

You're not gonna manage big sound outdoors with active cabs, sorry. They don't offer the headroom you'll need.

Get a pair of passive dually 15s for some serious tight thump. Feed 'em with no less than 800 WRMS each.

Get a big-assed passive dually 18 cab and feed it with 2500 WRMS.

Use an active crossover, triamp the system and rock 'em all night long. :)

I am not familiar in using amps and all, and have always been worried about pushing to hard, and blowing speakers.....

Is this just "old news" and not a very serious issue anymore??
 
ls800p.jpg


Powered. 1500 watts. 134 dB.
 
the 2801 got RAPED on Pro DJ. A guy who heard them said that even the 1801 destroyed them in a side-by-side. The 800p is a bad-ass sub if you can manage the size/weight.
 
Well I am now thinkin on those LS800's!



Would two LS800s be enough low end for my application!

Like I mentioned above...the 450 tops are just fine!

In fact the srm450s will more than do the job!

I had them set up the other night...at less than half throttle...and I could here them plain as day like.....1/10 mile away!

So the tops are perfect! That way...if your not "up front" in front of the trailer....you can still hear the lyrics quite well!


So heres my new option.................

Two LS800s with the 450s in the trailer!

I will buy speaker mounts to mount the tops in the trailer.........

Just need to "ultimately" figure out that low end!

I would spose....that would work...but I just want to be damn sure!


If it wasnt for the "crappy" weather we are going to get this week....I would be able to finish the trailer!

BUT NO...............ITS GOTTA BE CRAPPY!


See I am also hopin to create a dvd demo of the trailer and my services for my "prospects" sometime next week! About the same time I get my "party on wheels" in the local papers!

So whatcha think now??

BTW....your thoughts and ideas did not go unthanked! THANK YOU AGAIN!! Once again....this is an issue that "means a lot" to me!

This is going to be my "benchmark" in this industry in my area! I will get noticed with this "rig!" So all your suggestions have pointed me in a direction, and it has saved I bet at least 10 hours of searching! :sqbiggrin:
 
I think the price was somewheres in the range of 1029.00?? Does this price seem about right for the LS800s??

I could get two 1530s for 1600.00! But I dont know!

I am kinda leanin towards the 800s' since I have enough tops! For now anyway!

Lol....did you say..like 130 lbs...I will have to read back again!
 
I know Jason from Sound Connect used to run 4 SRM-450's with two LS800p's and was very happy with the results. I think you should get two anyhow, and eventually upgrade to some better tops.
 
How big was his crowd?


I would like to throw bottom end to about 100ft Lengthx60ft width??

My tops were plenty!


The 2-1501 and 1-1801..threw bass (comfortably).....to about.....50ft??

It was a little windy.....but it didnt sound good!

The tops easily threw.......150ft...easy! That was in a yard!

Of course I have said above...I tested them to about a 1/10 mile...and I could still hear the lyrics quite well!
 
The LS800P weighs 143 lbs, and one would be substantially louder and deeper than 2 of the Mackie 1501s. It also would outperform the Mackie 1801 in every respect, including sound quality IMO.
 
Yea bump is what I want to hear! I got plenty of clarity in the tops....but more bump is necessary!

Oh yea.....do these sound muddy??

I noticed after listening to other speakers....the 1501s...sound muddier than I originally thought!

So are these muddy too??
 
Adam, in the other thread, I mentioned that the LS's sounded muddier than the QRx subs I picked up. That does not mean they are muddy sounding speakers, lol. In fact, I can not think of a better sounding sub in the same price range as the Yorkville LS subwoofers.
