[QUOTE="Jeff Babcock, post: 113105, member: 46"] Re: Mini Line Array OK, that's a far cry from the "small stages" comment you made earlier. I would suggest that if you only need a BIG rig 2-3 times a year then there is absolutely no reason to own it. One strategy to think about might be finding companies in your region who have the same boxes that you purchase so that you can simply rent more boxes and more power when you need it. This may limit your purchase options to larger format boxes that will be harder to deploy, but will also possibly allow you to earn some cross rental income as well. Find out what the providers in your region are carrying. You're suggesting 6 boxes per side of a dual 10" line array cab. Let's say something along the lines of a KF730 for instance. For 5000 people, depending on genre, that might be a little light, depending on expectations, but an array like that won't scale up enough for a 20000 person gig. You'd need to be looking at larger format boxes with pretty beefy HF output. You realize a rig like this is likely going to cost you at least 100K as a STARTING POINT, right? [/QUOTE]
