 Topic: Burn it or Sex it up?Posted: 08 December 2011 at 3:37pm |

Hi all. Novice here. I have inherited a PA rig which is BIG, ugly and has no thump. Everyone I ask has different suggestions for it. What I want it to do it to have 2/4 good tops which will deliver me good vocal sound over a a distance of about 100 feet. Id be using these for my band at venues from pub size to small outdoor events. The bottom end needs to be made up of 2/4/6/8 speakers so I can take as many as required for the venue. Heres the vital stats... At present there are 2 subs with a total of 4 RCF L18-P300 drivers. Also 2 subs with a total of 4 Eminence PS18-6008 8 ohm Drivers. (one needs dust cap fixing) Cabinets are MDF The tops have 2 x Eminence Kappa Pro 15 A drivers. Also 2 x Fane? one and a half inch throat compdrivers with fane screw on horrible looking horn. Also 4 in total bullets. I think they are 'Audio Pro 0809 and 0803'. Cabinets are chip bourd with ply front. To drive it i have 2x StudioMaster 700D amps. 2 x Studio Master 1600D amps. 1 x Ampcron 3600 watt amp. Soundcraft 5 way crossover. Beheringer EX1000 Bassflex unit. (on sale on Ebay at the moment). Compressors. Allen and heath Desk. So what i want to know is, Do i sell it all and buy something more 'Modern'? Rebuild completly new cabs? Burn it? Part ex it. If so where??? Buy some used cabs to suit? One suggestion i had was to take it all to a prominant speaker maker in mid wales and chop it in for something sexy. Pics to follow. Thanks in advance for any assistance. |

sounds like there is preotential there you just need new cabs, the l18p300 is a good driver i nthe right box and i would suggest looking into new mid tops too if there made from chipboard.
il have a look thru my plans now and see if i have anything for the p300

We all start from the bottom, very few, in comparison, make it to the top.

If I had the stuff you have I would pull the components out of their boxes clean the hell out of them, and put them in new cabinets.

+1 So going to be using this system for your bands PA? You should get new cabs, mdf and chipboard is no good and will not last long. Im not sure on what plans will suit your drivers best but im sure someone else will know. The gear you have inherited is well worth keeping, or pay for something more modern if thats what you want....but you dont NEED to upgrade anything apart from the cabs you have (some pics would be good, use imgur.com to upload your pics) RCF eminence fane Ampcron (crown) Allen and Heath Those are some good manufactures you have there! |
