in this case I honestly don't think it matters, your not really going to be beat matching on the monitors anyway. they are really just to hear the main mix without reflections. in this case they should be plenty loud enough, and if they arent, then your hearing is probably in danger anyway.

Thanks for all the help guys.

honestly, it doesnt matter. as long as the dj can hear them over the main system.
many djs dont even use them tbh, but they are nice to have.

Haha, what? Proper monitoring is esential, especially if you need to beatmatch.

Not essential for beat matching . You can beat match visually with the waveforms or in your headphones.

You cue your headphones, not the booth monitors.

Monitoring is essential for blending your mix and listening to your mix (key, equalization, timing and looping). Good monitoring will let you be confident in your sound. Basically, what you are hearing is what they are hearing.

Once you can confidently beat match, you throw off the headphones and work the mix with the monitors.
