Got a rough estimate of the size of the audience area at this venue... The width of the stage is about 40', and the audience area is roughly 100' long. The stage is enclosed on 3 sides, and the audience area has a roof, but no walls (just support beams for the roof). With this being said, what's you...

Any recommendations regarding center fill?

As far as safety rigging... the DR300s would be permanently fixed to the 12" wide/thick support beams that hold the building up... if those give... the speakers falling are going to be their last concern lol in addition, safety cables would be ran from each cabinet to the overhead horizontal be...

Yeah... they kinda tore me a new one on that forum lol Partly my fault because I forgot to mention that I was a 'noob' when it comes to this scale of sound

Think there would be any issue regarding vibration from 8xTuba 60's under the stage? (in regards to vibration going through to the band that's playing)

If so, is there a way to lessen the vibration that's going up through the stage floor? (floor is wood btw)

DJPhatMan, Thanks, very good point about trying to build everything into the building's structure. didn't even think about that I could actually build 8x Tuba 60's right under the outdoor bandstage with it being 7ft tall. (kind of a 'duh' considering that is my plan for the indoor stage that's only ...

On a side note / slightly different subject... I've already spoken with the owner's of the venue, they know the quality of work I put into my builds, and also know of the quality of sound custom cabs can generate (I use my own designed 6th order bandpass subs at their venue inside twice a week, and ...

Gregory, Good Point... the indoor house system will be used for dubstep, house, techno - and I think a pair of Tuba 60 Slims V-Coupled under the stage will be awesome for 300 people... but would be nice to be able to hold an outdoor DJ/Dance gig in the pavilion and have the ability to still hit the ...

Awesome (Bill) I was hoping something like that rather than trying to retro-fit a consumer horn to fit the DR300 to suit my needs (especially considering that particular consumer horn runs about $120.00 a piece x 2 per cabinet x 8 cabinets) Now just to figure out how many of each to build, and wheth...

Bill,

could you give me a little insight as to why running 8 Tuba60's (2x12") would yield better results than 8 Titan 48's?

(Just wrapping my mind around it lol)

Thanks

Thanks for your replies! SeisTres, I'd figured the Titan 48 would be a better choice than the Tuba 60 for the rock genre' dominance, seeing as I won't have much need for really low extension and will more be looking for the 'Chest Punch' around 80Hz. I will be also building a much smaller scale indo...

Also wanted to add what the sound system end would mainly be comprised of... Will be running 2x16 channel Presonus 16.4.2 mixers (firewire bridged together for 32 channels). Multiple Crown amplifiers to push mains/subs/monitors. Processing / Delays / EQ, etc will be controlled by DBX Driverack 260's...

Hello Everyone! I've been looking over the various offering of BFM Cabinets, and am thinking that they may be the right fit for a project i'm about to start. I have the need to build a Concert Style PA system for an outdoor venue. There is a pavilion that has 3 walls around the stage area, but the a...
