hi, great site. i plan to set up a small rental operation that sets up for parties and bands. i'm thinking 200 people maybe as many as 400 or thereabouts. what do you think, 5000 watts, 10000 watts? for parties a cd changer is good but for bands, ill need a mixer and some mics. speaks should be 18's, 15's and tops. this is what im thinking but its just my own thoughts and im looking for suggestions please. i want really good stuff, great sound.

To general of a question, how much power you need is going to depend on the type of speaker system your going to run, what types of music your going to be doing, acoustical enviroments(indoors or out), most common type A/C power availiblity etc. etc. Maybe list some equipment you've been looking at then we'll give a IMHO anser.

Here some ideas, you can get everything in 1 rack and still be able to move it by yourself and run it off 20amps. Allen&Heath-mixwizz mixer dbx 2231 graphic EQ's QSC RMX or PLX amplifiers Denon, Marantz, Teac for CD,Cassette etc.etc. players Check out Yorkville, Community or Yamaha Club Series Speakers (Best bang for the buck). EV Qrx or T series speakers NEXO speakers PS-15,PS-10 w/processor(Very good and the price reflects it) Shure,Sennheiser, or Audix mics. if bi-amping dbx driverack PA.
Just some ideas to get you started all of these are pretty high quality brands. Bill W.

If possible try to keep the subs together when running under 100Hz. The dead spots your referring to is frequency cancellation when the subs are a certain distance apart. Some frequencies will add some will cancel, if the subs are seperated by greater than 1/2 wavelength. Bill W.
