ThatPartyGuy Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Hey guys, a friend and i are having a joint birthday party and i'll be DJ'ing it. she only has some small cd player and speakers (they pump out enough volume from her bedroom to the rest of the house)i'm looking at buying something cheap that'll do the job to play the night. just need something to be loud enough not to distort and be heard.probably looking at spending $200 ish (shit all buy last minute)cheap monitors maybe?Cheers guys, ily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexJ Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 dont want to rent them?in terms of that sort of cash you really arnt going to get anything fantastic?how long have you got? pick up something from ebay or dj city in vic?http://www.djcity.com.au/sound-gear/pow ... 12-speakerstill going to be pretty bad. but for a couple of hundred grab a couple of those wooden boxes. they are active and if you can keen the volume down (ie just not blasting) you shouldnt get too much distortion. they will be boardering on the best things you will buy new for 200 bucksi started with them way back in the day and used them for 6 months so you should also get more than a single use out of them.otherwise i advise that you hit gumtree. if you can borrow an amp ive seen people make some decent speakers out of car speakers on the cheap but does take abit of work and know howalex out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConcertAV Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 You can hire from us - would cost around $100 for a pair of active 600w speakers. Let me know if you want more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
