Started off with around 10 members, now down to 3. Were based in manchester and hire out gear for a hobby and host free parties when we can. Known as Rampage soundystem and heres our progression :) enjoy. This basically set i all off.. called it the wobble box god knows what was in it haha:  moved up with a few 'Auna' and phonic speakers and skytec amps ;):     Next some skytec speakers and rcl sub and class d bins:    Next rig (PD123.ER drivers in those middle cabs now, and 4 eminence kappa 15" in each of the bottom ones) :   Finally got something proper (our amps are matrix 3000h, proline 3000, also have a T.amp 2400 and ultradrive and limiter. Other amps are from linkup.):    Currently selling all cabs and hoping to go branded next. Thanks for looking. ____________________________________________________________________________ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Picture taken 02/06/2011: 2 x Turbosound THL 2's, Fane loaded 18" scoops  |

First, please get some rack screws. Holding your gear in a rack with cable ties is not a good look! Apart from that, nice system- well done! |

very impressive progression, from scrap to rig! nice work  .tidy the rack up with some bolts, maybe casters, or make yourself up a proper ply rackcase and a tidy lil patch panel and you are done! ------------- ''Remember that the object of a subwoofer is to enhance the output of your main speakers, not overpower it'' ''Dubstep - an elongated electronic fart'' |

Or to be even better, use Adam Hall Hum Frees. ------------- http://www.facebook.com/tony.rossell.3" rel="nofollow - http://www.facebook.com/tony.rossell.3 |

Yeh the zip ties were a temporary fix for one night, and the bottom amp rack is from a free party so didn't have time to fix all the amps in. The plan is to get a proper ply amp rack this abs one is abit crap but it always seems to be the last thing on my list.. To be fair though only started off about a year and a half ago with that first picture so ive been quite busy since! |

whats to stop the thread acting as a conductor on the hum frees? seem pretty pointless if the thread of the bolt will still conduct to the rack. Jake |

Every chassis should be tied together anyway by cord shields. |

As Chris says, part of the kit contains a hard plastic or nylon bolt which ensures that no metal touches the chassis. For what they cost, it's a bit of cheap insurance. ------------- http://www.facebook.com/tony.rossell.3" rel="nofollow - http://www.facebook.com/tony.rossell.3 |

i know one thing ,,with not a lot of money it could look a whole lot better for hire outs ,splash of paint and new grills on the scoops, and new grils on the jbl's,and it would look like a tidy rig

Scoops from 40 to 80hz, THL's 80hz upwards. We dont have the HD's anymore which is a bit of a shame because the reflex 15" drivers in the Turbo's struggle doing much kick, especially since its playing the low mid aswell. We're getting some new bass cabs soon anyway..
Crazy init george, shame I dont have any pics of all the skytec amps that powered it all lol |
