Re: Inadequate Sub Power For a Venue... Tips/Tricks/Help
You can't polish a turd (no matter what Myth Busters thinks).
You didn't make the purchase decision so I can't blame you, but this "thinking" is exactly my objection to shit like the TVI "arrays." I've spent vast Quixiotian effort in convincing a number of system buyers that "cheap" doesn't mean "right" unless cheap is the sole and final factor, in which case they should be buying a conventional rig rather than a lyin' array (thanks, Ivan). What makes the TVI and similar products a lie is the lack of manufacturer data needed to do some kind of coverage predictions and the foolish belief on the part of owners that conflate "vertical" with "line", or that think simply because it looks like a line array, it will perform like "real" products from real manufacturers.
Sorry to be harsh, Nick, but this is based on my experience both in our shop and observing the systems purchased by others.
