[QUOTE="Jeff Babcock, post: 217491, member: 46"] If controlling the low end (which is hard to do and the likely source of noise complaints) is going to be a problem, consider adding a Waves Maxxbass processor. They are a very useful tool for DJ rigs. They can give the acoustic illusion of very low bass, leave the real upper bass in place to maintain the "punch in the chest" and generally get you a little more mileage with your sub setup, all while minimizing the problems of low frequencies leaking out of your venue. I've also used it in venues where the subs were causing major rattling of the HVAC system. Turn on the MaxxBass and it still feels huge but the lowest frequencies that were causing the problem are now gone and replaced by harmonics/psychoacoustic effect. MaxxBCL are nice but expensive and hard to find, there are a few other models of hardware for this, and any console with the Waves integration has access to the plugin which could be applied on the main mix.
