Quilly Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I usually play in pubs without a pa and I never needed anything more than a 2*10. My terrorbass 500 rarely sees beyond noon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mep Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 [quote name='M@23' timestamp='1477822898' post='3164589'] Cheers for that we've been looking to expannd or refresh the PA and have been using a 15" Mackie sub on loan. Whilst it did fill out the sound, it is heavy as! Been debating whether we should just ditch the tops and forget the sub and just get a couple of good full range 15s. It's a small to medium gig PA as anything bigger the rig is supplied or we hire. So 3 vocal mics, bass and acoustic kick to reinforce. Sounds like this could be the better option. [/quote] That's pretty much what we use. A pair of EV powered 15" full range tops. I monitor. Vocals, guitar ad bass drum through for small pub gigs. Bass and drum overhead for medium size gigs. My amp has to match drum volume ob stage so is usually loud enough out front. This is a fairly compact set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 We use the same configuration, a pair of HK Audio RS152x tops on tripod stands, and a pair of no-name monitor boxes. Our amp is a cheap 2x300w power amp, and we play in mono, so one side to the tops, the other side as monitor. Simple, inexpensive, good quality PA that has done a sterling job for the last decade or so. 3 vocal mic's and a touch of bass drum; on occasion a drum overhead in small outdoor gigs. Old school, yes, but it still works for most of the situations we play in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
