Yes app 2 Channel will do fine I was just assuming 2 stacks if that's what you was working towards But by all means mono IMO sounds great, if I'm honest we 99.9% of the time always try to set up mono Respect.........

I on the other hand like to string up in stereo using mono sub. and when it comes to stereo you gotta love "Jamaican Stereo" I had almost forgot about it then Friday played a Big Youth track and there it was in glorious Jamdown Stereo!!
But a lot of Reggae is recorded Mono and a majority of Sounds string up in mono |

Dont want to start a new topic for this but does any sound system use something like this http://www.thomann.de/fi/art_tube_mp.htm to make the sound of their system warmer and fatter.
Not many use tube amplifiers so this could be an easy way to get some of that tube warmness into the sound? Has anyone tried something similar? Just thinking! |

And it is that that made me go back into sound systems. “Do you do
weddings? Do you do parties? We want you to play the records that you
play on the radio at our party!” I said “No”, because I had left that
behind in Birmingham. The collection was there but the sound system
wasn’t. So I decided to build some small boxes just to be able to do
parties because the demand was heavy. I built a couple of speaker boxes
and they weren’t any good. They were useless! I remember going to the
builder and he was building four, the first two I played them but I
wasn’t satisfied. Then the second two… I said “If you haven’t finished
the boxes, give them to me”, because I wanted to put wheels on them so
they’d be easy to shift. I took them from him. I found this guy in west
London called Michael Cotter Acoustic Sound Systems who repaired
speakers. I asked him where I could get proper casters to roll speakers
on. He sent me to this guy in Southend who makes heavy duty equipment
for bands and night clubs. I took the speakers there just to buy wheels
for them and the guy asked “What are you doing with these?” I said “I
play them.” He replied “Nah, they’re no good!” I knew he was right. He
said that he had one box that would knock the head of these four and he
took me around and he had a warehouse full of speakers. He had a
factory. So I said “Ok then, make me two.” He made two and I heard them!
They blew me away! That was what I was looking for. That was what I
left in Birmingham! I told him to make me six more. At the same time I
shouldn’t have been doing this, I shouldn’t have been making a sound
system. I only wanted something small to do private parties but they
sounded so good! I ended up having twelve eighteen inch scoob bins. Of
course I had to buy the tops as well. I was resident in a nightclub
because of the radio on Saturday and I put on a few promotions so I made
enough money to buy the speakers and the amplifiers. It was easy, well,
kind of. The club would full up because I was on the radio and it was
adult Jamaicans, adult west indians. I was playing oldies, revival
music, 60s soul, r&b, 70s reggae, 60s reggae, ska.
That’s how I rebuilt the sound again and then I joined Notting Hill Carnival, looking for places to play. I went there and joined BASS, British Association of Sound Systems, because you have to join that to play in Carnival. Whos the southend builder mentioned here? |
