[QUOTE="Paul OBrien, post: 217468, member: 7285"] I have never met a DJ that plays down to the PA system, in my experience it doesn't matter if the sound system consists of a pair of speakers on sticks or giant flown array with a small mountain of subs, the DJ plays exactly the same way and will mercilessly overdrive the big system as bad as anything else... if that is how they roll. They are not all this bad however, there are some that actually care about sound quality and generally keep it clean, but they still produce the same levels out of thier desk/console regardless of what sound system is in front of them. As far as how much sub to bring to a venue, there is no such thing as too much for the DJs or the guests with modern music genres, but there may be a "too much" for the venue and it's neighbors, I have a venue near me that recently put in a 2 single 18" sub limit as a result of getting tens of thousands of dollars in fines for noise violations. Two 18" subs are not enough for this ~500cap venue but guess what.. last time I was in there everybody partied and had a good time and AFAIK no fines were issued so it is what it is. [/QUOTE]
