What's wrong with Community J? I'm not a huge fan of their new stuff outside of the R series but they still sound better than some.

I was referring to this post.

get 1 of these(i use to build pa boxes for my freind and with 2 of these he would shake onings on houses)http://www.fane-acoustics.com/public_html/media/pdf_media/COL15B_600.PDF

use this plate amp for it(if u choose to go this route)

for rack amp (if u want to run it straight from the amp which i would do but u need other processors to let it play specific frequencies)

yeah right....

I really want to stay away from JBL

LOL whatever, but if you want your whole system for under 2000, its something to consider.

And another thing to keep in mind, is that while it will be satisfying for you to have a really nice system, the majority of your customers wont appreciate it, people at wedding receptions arent looking for immaculate acoustic reproduction, they want their favorite songs, played loud with plenty of bass for them to shake their bootys to... Most people wouldent think any less of you for coming into a venue with a pair of JBL's, but i understand your need for good stuff.

JBL stuff isn't that cheap really.... It's competitively priced with the EV gear so it's not like it is ultra cheap. The old saying "you get what you pay for" is true one way. Meaning if it's cheap it's junk and if it's expensive it doesn't mean it's good //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif....

Thats pretty cheap. I cant personally vouch for the sound quality of these, as i have never heard them, but 500 is pretty freikin cheap for a set of decent PA speakers. that would leave 1500 for amps, subs and computer or something.

That would be 1 pair of Loudspeakers, he would need 1 more pair and then subs.... So they are priced the same as USED EV... Plus those are used, and used PA speaker off ebay, seriously think about why they couldn't resell them some where else. A place that sells REAL sound equipment like sound broker or something of the like...
