Re: Rodeo Sound System

Well I'm way out of my league here so all I can tell you is that those big round Atlas horns carry the voice better than the typical carpet covered box you can buy at a music store.  That's why you still see them at old high school football fields - because they work.  Then things get tricky 'cause some of those install systems are 70 volt transformer driven or whatever they call it and then there's the issue of keeping the low frequencies from blowing your drivers.  Call a local install company and ask advice and maybe they will sell you what you need and tell you how to set it all up the right way - or better yet reach a little deeper in your pocket and get them to install them for you.  They are not like using regular speakers - although people have used them that way.  My buddy Greg used to have one for his guitar amp and you could hear him ANYWHERE even when the other players had huge Marshall stacks.  I think they still make those things new. 

Again - it may not be cost effective to invest in these things for just a handful of dates per year.
