[QUOTE="Peter Etheredge, post: 32690, member: 58"] Re: 70v System vs traditional... Yikes I don't know who recommended that but I really don't see it being good for what you need. Don't get me wrong or take me as a gear snob (there are actually some ART things that I find useful in the right application), but I don't see this being the right application for that particular product. Look more toward something like this: [url]http://www.fullcompass.com/product/391519.html[/url] Crown, Crest, Ashly, etc... all make some really good options as well. Also consider an installation mixer/amp combo - there are a few good ones out there. Are any of these gonna be more expensive than that ART? Well sure, but you honestly get what you pay for. I'm sure I'm not the only one on this part of the forum that has spent many a day tearing out systems that were put in because they were the cheapest option available.... that then failed or never preformed as needed, meaning in the end the customer payed way more than they would have had they payed a bit more up front the first time to do it right. Try and be careful if you're feeling way over your head - sometimes it's better to pass on a job and make more money in the long run by getting future jobs that you can do the absolute best on and garner you a good reputation than getting a few bucks up front and becoming known as the guy who did a bad job and cost his customer more money in the end. Nothing beats a good reputation in this business! You've come to a good place to learn though so keep reading and asking questions as you move along. [/QUOTE]
