[QUOTE="Johnny Holguin, post: 203794, member: 10949"] Hi again all. This DIY is intriguing. What I like about it is that it seems great for outdoor gigs. Some years ago I got out of DJing and got into pyromusicals. For a pyromusical you need to have speakers that perform well outdoors. I've been renting JBL line arrays for this purpose, but don't like them. They can get pretty harsh at high levels. On the other hand, the line array is a breeze to setup. On board amplifiers and DSP with simple presets make it easy. The following photo was taken at a recent outdoor event. The white tent was about 700ft away. Sound can easily be heard from the tent.
