My 10 do the job for me, although 2 are upwards firing.

Great, that’s the scenario I’m seeking. Do the two facing upwards help hear the bass, especially on a small stage, where you might have to stand right in front of and close to the rig.

Dan and EZ, I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience. Thanks.

Not with the full rig for me, as I think the 2 upwards speakers are too high up and are blowing past me. I think these work better when the Flightcase is on the floor. However, they do help the overall FOH sound if the ceiling isn’t too high.

Good, I’m looking at up to 12 of them and up to 500w….enough to feel it at small gigs?

 

That's what I use - two or three 4x5 cabs - and it works for me. My amp (AG700) is 700W, but I don't use it at anything like full power.

I had the Flightcase and the powered cab and used the Flightcase on the floor next to me and alongside the 300 (as opposed to the more visually impressive in top of the 300), best of both worlds
