Yesterday (SA 4-9-05), I called my friend who works at the local Guitar Center. I told him I had $4,000.00 to spend on some small FOH gear. I didn't think he could do or that it would even be possible to get what I got for exactly $4,000.00. But he's our band's full time sound guy , so we get the same discount he gets or something like that...
Here's what I got :
two JBL MP415's (used , and in perfect condition) - $800.00 two JBL MP418's (one cost $625.00 , & one cost $566.04 - he had to do it that way to keep this all under $4,000.00 - $1,225.00
two QSC RMX 2450 amps -$1,050.00
DBX Driverack -$450.00
Behringer ECM8000 reference mic -$0.00
two 25' speakon to bananna cables -$0.00
two 50' speakon to speakon cables -$0.00
Road Ready 12 space rack -$175.00
Road Ready caster kit -$77.57
two On Stage sub shaft poles -$29.98
$3999.98
I would have much rather have went with Yorkville gear but money was a concern and I had to make my move before something in the house or something with the cars break down...
But see , I've always used powered speakers for everything I've ever doen. And matching amps to speakers isn't something I'm ever good with or understand. So my question is , did I buy the right QSC RMX amps? The M-PRO's are rated in peak watts and I don't that's the same as program - right?
If I messed up a bit with the amps I can take them back and switch them for something else. I appreciate (eye kant spel) any input...
