[QUOTE="Paul OBrien, post: 217479, member: 7285"] I had previously brought a pair of double 18s into this venue and I have seen others bring 2 or 3 times that into it.. and I gather that is when it started to become a problem. There are several ways to approach sizing of a system in a venue but one of them is playing to the dance floor only and not concerning yourself with achieving a particular level of sound everywhere in the venue. With low frequencies in particular it is often not possible to achieve even coverage indoors due to cancellations caused by reflections and the fact that the only way to even out the response is with subs distributed around the venue. if your veneu has a house system with little or no subbage then for sure.. a modern fully powered 218 on the dance floor will bring an added experience the guests haven't experienced before, and that may be good enough. Feeling the impact of a kick drum is all about air displacement so more drivers is always better, but you have to ask yourself how much extra work you want to do for no extra pay, and don't forget about the electrical requirements this has, you're not pulling 8kw of subwoofer power from a 120v 15A circuit this will require a dedicated 30A 240v circuit.
