Setting Up a Club Night.

[bassmonkey]

I'm setting up a club night and have £3,000 to spend on the speaker equipment for a 31m / 18m size room.

Amps, Mixer, Bass Bins etc.

Does anyone have any help as too what I should be looking for purchasing? Need as much bass as possible.

nice one.

Does the club not already have equipment? If so your money would be better spent on getting people through the door rather than your own system

[Samuel_L_Damnson]

where are you situated too?

Find yourself a club with a decent PA. 3000 is a lot of money, could get you a decent headliner or two. I don't think 3000 will get you much of a PA either. You could spend a fraction of that on renting a really good one if you HAD TO.

Exactly this...you could hire out a decent club, get in a pretty big headliner and push some extensive promotion for that price. Most clubs you will get all your equipment provided for you.

Rent the equipment and spend on a headliner. That way you're not stuck with a shit load of equipment if it fucks up

[bassmonkey]

nah, we have our own club. We're doing the DJing.

Just wondering if anyone could recommend some decent equipment that will more than fill the room.

How big's the room?

We need the dimensions, i.e. width, length, height etc as well as where the rest of the shit is in there.

Honestly just rent some unless you are willing to invest a lot of time into it & getting it sounding how you want. You will continuously be spending money on it unless you really know what your doing.

Find out if there are any named sound systems in your city. There's two big ones in my city and I know if I see that name on a poster it's going to be a good night. If you rent something like that you get extra promo too as people already know the name

They'll also do set themselves up so you don't have to think about it so you can concentrate on getting everything to run smoothly!

3 is grand is not a lot of budget for a system to cover 6,000 square feet. you could spend that much on cabling alone.

Do this, rent a decent system and get some decent names in it. Build up a rep to get people back and make your nights bigger. Also expect to make a loss on your first couple of shows (at best making your money back)

Once you've started to get into profit look at slowly investing in your own system till you get to a point where it rivals other sound systems and you can start to gig using entirely that system
