[QUOTE="Stephen Findlay, post: 5300, member: 2047"] I have a simple (and maybe not [I]SO[/I] stupid) question regarding powering a PA system for a venue: When do you have to start worrying about overloading a circuit at a venue? I have never encountered that problem, but as I get more and more high-powered stuff, I do not want to have a breaker go during a live event. I am a DJ and am now considering purchasing a JBL SRX System (2 SRX 715's, 2 SRX 718's, and powered by a Crown MacroTech 9000i). Should I be concerned about too much amp draw since I am pushing it down to a 4-ohm load? I heard Crown makes some of the most efficient amps out there and would love to cut weight by using only one amp. Comments, suggestions on other power options. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
