My english teacher gave me a weird look when I mentioned that as the musical instrument I played. Like the wtf stare. I had to give her the 'wiki wiki' dj motion to confirm what i meant.

Indoors or outdoors, how big is the area the speakers will be firing into before the sound hits the nearest wall or other acoustic obstruction? I cant really give you specific configuration ideas unless I know where youll be putting it...

But, knowing nothing at all about your location and its acoustics...

I say this all the time, but you can probably find a chill wedding DJ who will rent you his speakers if he sees you know what your doing and talking about, how Ive thrown every house party thats been remotely memorable.

Wedding Djs, though they dont have like, full-size rigs, do usually have alot nicer ones then you or your friends will, that are fully capable of tearing a house party up. You need to get in your local yellow pages and call em all until you find the one whos an old disco head with a coke habit and needs some spare cash (trust me one of them is an old disco n coke head who needs cash.) You find him and kick him 50-100 for the evening and he'll be hard pressed to object to lending you his shit if he sees youll take care of it, and gets a copy of your drivers license to show the cops if you dont come back...

Beat the hell out of the home-hifi-on-full-blast technique, which enver ends up quality unless youve got 10-15 people in a bedroom (and thats being very generous).

I didnt ask how many people would be there, I asked how big the room or outdoor area will be.

The type of environment is what will let me get an idea of acoustics and ect. and make you a better recommendation then the generic one I had to provide before.

Are you saying its outdoor? Thats a whole different ballgame if so. Is it indoor? How big is the room if indoor? If outdoor, is it an open-backed environment or is there going to be large structures, walls, ect. in the firing-line of the speakers causing reflections? Do you have neighbors?

If these questions are confusing you, could you maybe take a cell-phone pic of the area people will be dancing at, and then tell us where youll be putting the rig/booth?

Whats your budget?

You don't need something that's marked as 'extra bassy super wobwob'. Any good brand sub will blow a normal sized room through the next floor.

What does Funktion 1 cost? There's a club in Cardiff called Cardiff Arts Institute that has this tiiiiiiny Funktion 1 system, pretty sure it's only one or two tiny subs, and it's better than almost every small-medium size systems that I've ever heard.
