The first week was a close call as to whether we were going to have to call it due to rain. But, it stopped and were able to set up and get the show done in stupid humidity. Normally, we'd have the system set up like in the pics below, but there was a small lake right where they would go, so we put the subs on stage in a little different arrangement.
This system has done a lot of shows and is still cooking along just fine. I have to thank my old bass player, Earl (RIP) for turning me on the BFM site many years ago. He wanted me to build him a bass cab. Built a PA instead. He always called it his bass rig since we ran direct.
The pics from this week's show have a second rack down front. I mixed off the band's rack....it's one I built for them with a split snake and their in-ear rigs. Rack panels on the front and back to facilitate hookup. It was no problem mixing on their Presonus mixer as that's what I use. And there was no need to use the split and set up my mixer.
Still running the same Crown XLS amps that I have all along. 2500 for the tops, 3-1500s bridged for each pair of subs. Driveracks on the Mains and monitors. In the top of that rack, there's a Yamaha MG series analog board for "just in case". But, there's also an additional digital mixer in the trailer for backup.
I do split the subs in this situation as the steps in the front of the stage are a pain to work around. Also, I'm able to get them about 45 feet apart - with my high pass at about 47hz, there's only a couple of tiny nulls out front.
This rig has been good to me for a long time. People are always amazed that the subs are just 12s. And I love that the whole thing runs on a single 15Amp circuit.
