Boxman Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Hey guys, I need some advice on what Audio gear will be suitable for Mobile use. I'm only just starting to take it more seriously and have started accumulating some equipment. I've been mixing around in my bedroom for a while now and want to start making some $$ and getting out there and having fun. I've got just about everything I need to get started, I just need a Sub. Currently I have Pioneer DDJT1Decent Acer laptop with Traktor2x 15" Skytek 800w active speakers (I know its cheap crap but I need to start somewhere)Assorted lights, smoke and lazers - Enough for house parties that's for sure.What are your suggestions for a cost effective sub? I would prefer active.Do you guys think this is enough gear to get started for local house parties? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narukami Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 You don't really "need" a sub dude, judging by your kit, it's more than enough. Unless you're doing parties for like 600+ people, you look good.Dw about your speakers, I had a shitty pair of 10" light up speakers that I bought at Cashies for like $150 for both. They were crap and weren't good enough for the parties I was doing but I still survived so you should be fine m8 [sMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES].

pungent Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 My first sub I purchased was a Behringer pro 1800 active. My only complaint is it's heavy at around the 50kg mark but apart from that I love it for the $700 I payed.I now run two of them and use them for school socials-private parties-pub-venue gigs etc. I also plug into a number of different brand stuff at venues that costs a lot more and honestly most of the time I can not tell the difference even though the huge price difference on some of the gear.You would probably get away with the pro-1500 and would be lighter and cheaper.

AlexJ Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 honestly for cost effective subs you cant go past the pro 1800 and pro 1500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhennicey21 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Actually all things that you have is enough for local house parties. But you need to upgrade your 800w speakers if you want a good sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolDios Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I have a few friends who have had those speakers in the past and they kept cutting out etc. As for a sub, go with the 1500. The 1800 pumps but it's way too bloody heavy and you will struggle to fit it in the back of even most wagons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
