It is supposed to reach upper 90s tomorrow with humidity making it feel around 105. How will my Mackie 450s hold up? Any suggestions???

Keep them under a tent and perhaps a fan or two. I did outdoor car shows under a tent at around 80 and humid with minimal breeze and played for four hours.

Seriously, good luck and keep yourself hydrated.....

Keep your gear out of the sun.
Supplement natural air movement with fans.
Start fans at the start of the event, not waiting until your gear starts showing signs of heat stress.
Make sure fools don't stand between your fans and your gear or worse yet redirect your fans.
You should be OK.

Thanks for the advice...I've got a outside wedding/reception in September here in Phx. It'll be a 100+ easy.
