My two cents would be to go for a c-mark mr2650 instead of a berry ep2500 a lot more bang for your buck and pretty damn solid too with decent speaker protection, you can pick them up for about the same price as an ep2500 normally.

I agree with audio habit on a lot of what he's said.
The DIY option would be to see if you can find a load of (4 minimum) second hand 15/18"drivers in the for sale forum on the cheap (you'll need to find ones with appropriate T/s peramiters) and design a ported horn around them, this will need a fair amount of knowledge and expertise though and would be something to think about after spending a significant amount of time looking over the relevant forums, and learning a bit of hornresp, though theirs plenty of people willing and able to help out designing speakers (myself included) but it will be about as cheap as you can make enough bass to do that number of people. |

You're a big man, but you're in bad shape. With me it's a full time job. Now behave yourself.

you got no chance with £600 for 400 people...you could put a ok rig together for lets say 200 people max.....something like a berry ep2500 (like someone already said) for a bass amp,you can pick them up from £100/£150,then look out for 2 punishers or 1850 horn there is plenty of them going around manchester,you can pick them up from £200?£250 ish each if your lucky,and then some second hand tops that you could power with your waf amp jbl or something like that .then you will need a crossover and cables so your looking at more like £700/£800..but your not far off dude, you can make a lot of noise for £800 if you use your head....you will have to consider moving everything about cos you will soon fill a car up with just one 1850 horn lol
and =1 on the Genny and covering for outdoor stuff ..hope this helps Edited by AUDIO HABIT - 06 May 2010 at 12:25pm |

If you want the chance to hear JBL JRX125s first go to Jabez Clegg in Manc and go to the second room upstairs. But take it with a pinch of salt, that system has far too much bitey top end.

Alrite SOS. If i were you i would try and source a second hand behringer ep2500 and a second hand pair of JBL jrx 125s. They double 15 inch speakers with a comp. driver. That set up will give you and your mates a good 1.5k of full range goodness with 2 boxes...and with a bit of eq the JBLs sound great... You should have change from 600 easily imo. Dont forget to budget for a generator too if you plan to head to the countryside...and a bit of tarp to keep it all dry. Fair play to ya and good luck. Keep us posted with what you decide on. BTW if you look in the feedback forum section there is a 7 page thread om the JBLs....general consensus is they good speakers for the price...certainly good enough for what your thinking i reckon..

What do you intend to do with the system? If it's free parties, you might want to avoid calling the rig SOS because there's already a system called that, albeit down south.
Being honest, you won't get a lot for £600 even if you go for second hand active gear. |

Just want a nice juicy set up for indoor & outdoor parties at a lovely price

i would sugest you find out exactly what model it is.! as this will help me/people suggest what speakers might suit it.
also thats new on me i never knew wharfdale made amps. well a lot of people suggest reflex for inside and horn enclosures for outside. it really does depend on how cheap you can get your drivers for. do you want to buy new or secondhand drivers. ? |
