i've got to get some figures for my rigs requirements over to an event so they can get quotes in for power.

what's the best way to make a reasonable estimate? sum the RMS of drivers? max amp power? etc...

thanks :)

Sum of all "quoted", sub amp power.

Which you will never draw, unless using certain amps, with certain music material.

Is the event on grid power or portable generators?

On the grid calculate the continuous average current draw of the system as configured..  but on a generator quote the peak draw of the system.

You'll sound a bit more "with it" if you ask for 16s or 32s r whatever it turns out you need.
