dezza1994 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I got offered this speaker set and amp for $350. Seems irrisitable. Great deal?This will be my first serious DJ set. Let me know what use think. I want to hook it up to a BCD3000. I will upgrade the amp when i get spare cash too!SPECS:1 x 15 inch woofer2 x 12 inch woofers2 x 4 inch midrange woofers2 x wide dispersion piezo horns3 x piezo tweetersThe amp is 100 watts RMS each channel and is almost newhttp://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.as ...

SourceRaver Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Mids and highs are very directional so aiming a tweeter or horn at a persons waist isnt so great in terms of sound reproduction. Would you also be using the speakers as a desk cause vibration may also be a problem?Other than that it has a certain 'wow' factor and if it works well then $350 is a bargain.

Will i need an extra set of speakers or will this do if i hook up to mixer and computer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Looms like it's gonna give some hood bass but as Source said the height or the horn n tweeters may be an issuelooks good to me, but as for that amp powering it all, I've used it at jaycar, allthough a good amp I don't believe it's going to have enough punch to get that box pumping, but u said u will upgrade so that should be fine....I'd set assure around $500 for a good amp to power that all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezza1994 Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 Another guy reckons its a poorly made car stereo box? As far as i can see theres nothing wrong with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Even if it was your could easily keep the faceplate that all the speakers would be attatched to and just replace the rest of the box, and usually the porblem with homemade box's are either cheap materials or not enough space inside the box for those big subs to contract and suck up some airanother thing yo conisder if you get it may be building a custom mesh cover to go over the front to protect the subs....but for $350 u just gotta decide if u can be fucked going to the trouble for that price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andythemusician Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Haha that must be running at like 0.25 ohms...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky_Steve Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Is there only one speaker?If so, not really good for most gigs.As for the front and stated previously, you would need to put a cover on it to protect the exposed cones and tweeters, which in turn would hide the front graphics.The amp doesn't look like it's a professional/commercial amp. More like it's for home/domestic use. Any amp that requires you to connect the speakers via the bare wires and not some form of connector is not really suited for external DJ use. How long could it run at high capacity if you are using it for a gig? And if it does give up half way through the gig, then what? You could run the risk of using it for your first gig, but to me it would be more suited to the home lounge or rumpus room.IMHO best to buy equipment specifically designed and proven for mobile work.

lloydc Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 IMO you're better off getting some of those powered PA speakers from JB hifi, if you're planning on buying another amp later on..... I think the brand is audioline?EDIT:http://www.jbhifi.com.au/jb-hi-fi-home- ... sku-17690/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Funky steve, yeh that amp is actually a home theater amp used for larger theater systemsAnd lloydc ive been talking to this guy via private message and his budget is about $400 for at least 2 speakers at the momentso i put him on to the powered 12" ebay speakers that me n FabDJ and 1 other member havethere about $150 each and about all he's gonna get for under $400...unless someone knows of anything else...?

JonnyB Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 yeah deffinatly has a wow factor but like source said, wouldnt be much use for gigs ussualy need 2 speakers angled in toward the crowd and another 2 up the other end of the room, otherwise you will find spots where all youll be able to hear is sub bass.youll see producers talking about the right angles of setting up their production monitors, if you have them set up at wrong angles you wont be able to hear everything in yout track, same goes for live djing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 link to said ebay speakers?Their no JBL Club speakers but for the price good luck finding something better http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... 0651029485 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Have listened to them at jaycar and they go pretty good , but then there's still the problem of his budget...$400...so that will only get him 1 of those speakers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djjon76 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Those Jaycar ones look pretty good. The mp3 thing would be good at the end of the night, letting you pack your other stuff up, while still playing some quiet packing up music.Would they fill a decent sized room? Would you need a sub to compliment them?Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
