What gear are you using? did you add up actual power usage or the rated numbers of each device? A 1500 watt powered speaker is never going to use 1500 watts, probably closer to 500. With today's electronics, I always use inverter generators. I own two 3500 watt models and will rent out a Honda EU7000 for bigger shows, often used in conjunction with the smaller generators. I'd also recommend switching to LED for lighting, you will save a lot of power draw switching to LEDs. This weekend I ran the following off of one 3500 watt generator and one 2000 watt for 24 hrs straight:4 Yorkville LS801s2 Yamaha DSR112s2 Denon Delta 10s2 DJ decks & mixer4 Chauvet Intimidator 255s2 Chauvet Lightbars2 Chauvet Shadow UV panels2 3 watt lasers1 video projector1 Chamsys MQ40 lighting console2 computers
