Speaking of 3 way boxes.

One of the best I have heard to date was the EAW KF 12" box. I don't recall the exact model # but this set was powered by a QSC PL series amp and the sound was astonishing.
 
Well I guess I should answer the question in a serious manner, since Adam was asking what I would do with the $6000 I had laying around!

I would probably invest it in some more land while the prices were still on the bottom!

For a School system I would use the 20+ year old system I have been kicking arse with since Adam was a gleem in his daddy's eye!

I have a friend that picked up a 8 box Peavey DTH rig...
I'm not sure exactly how old that rig is, (But it was pretty beat when he accuired it)
They stripped them down, and referbed the whole rig. Bedlinered them, new corners, and connections...Everything was tested to be sure it was working to spec...

I mixed there band on them at a street dance last year..And HOLY CHIT!
That was a great sounding rig! For CHEAP! They did have a good share of time in it, But they are really glad they did. As for what they have in that rig, You would maybe....maybe be able to buy (2) newer, Comparable speakers..

That rig was marketed between 88 and 2000!

I had 4 DTH 218s, 2 DTH 215's, 4 DTH 5s (210s and a 4 inch horn) 2 DTH 1s (1 15 and a 4 inch horn), 4 DTH monitors (15 and a 4 inch horn on a wave guide), you put 20,000 watts on that thing and then sit back and watch the building crumble!

When stacked they were 17 feet tall, laid out left and right it was 2 218s standing side by side, 1 215 laid on it's side on top of the 218's on top of that were 2 210's side by side (splayed) and a 215 on top of that (upside down so the horn was in the same plain as the horns on the 210's!

I sold off part of that rig to a band about 5 years ago and the rest to DJ's since that time!

While I do miss the sound of that system, I do not miss lugging it into a venue and setting it up! Hell, each sub was 198 pounds and each 210 was 156 pounds, the 115s were 103 pounds that weight adds up quickly! and painfully! LOL

what boxes did they get? they would be designated DTH 218S, DTH 215S, DTH 1, DTH 2, DTH 3, DTH 4, DTH 5, DTH ML DTH MR.

You would have loved watching two people put that rig up! LOL It was so simple to do, everything was laid out on the floor setup with splay spacers and tips for the mains and then strapped together with ratchet straps, then the whole thing would be stood up! It took at least two real men to stand that crap but in a gym you could throw a rope over a rafter and take a lot of work away from the setup!
 
I'm not sure as to which boxes they have...

It's powered with some very large Crown's (An I-tech & some old macro techs)
 
Adam is sure having fun jerkin y'alls chains on a daily basis. I am really amused that so many are falling for it! I can't believe that you all don't see the joke. :rofl::sqlaugh::rofl:

How on earth can I not ask a simple question and have my whole business judged?

Who gives a f*** if I am wasting money and time?

I asked a serious question and some people seem to hinge on my every word.

And why was this thread not canned during the first page?

Adam,
Your threads are Not going to be closed every time you post and cry wolf because you don't like the answer. Not in my department either. You got a lot of good advice; you got a lot of experienced business advice from those who have been around the block. You don't like it--think twice before you post.

If everyone were a yes-man to the same philosophies, none of us would do well. Sometimes the best advice is the advice you don't like or don't want to hear. And that doesn't always mean it's an epiphany to take it--sometimes it brings the reality of the opposite.

Your thread will stand. You started it--man up. Nobody says you have to take or use the advice you get here. If you don't want it; don't ask for it. A business plan will not be handed to you on a silver platter. Take what you think will work for you and run with it. Everyone here would love to see you succeed. Even Thunder. Prove him wrong. Put more effort into running your business and less into feeling like you have to defend yourself to a bunch of faceless DJs online.
 
Threads merged. No need for the same discussion in two places.

Adam-
I strongly encourage you to continue with discussion with these folks rather than debate. They ARE trying to help you. Take the info you want and don't dwell on the rest. I am not going to babysit multiple threads over the same thing.
