    Default How Much Would You Pay Me for a typical event?

    I don't have any lights and I have 2X:

    JBL JRX115

    And I have 2 6ft pole mounts.

    How much do you think I should charge?

    It's my first gig, and it is a 3 hour event. Probably between 75-125 people.

    Isn't it anywhere from 10% to 20% of the total cost of the rig?

    What do you mean? A percentage of the cost of my equipment?

    Max like $160 bucks man. We rent monitors like that for $120 a pair
    and get 2 bigger tops like thesee210_angle_med.jpg
    With some subs to match.

    Are u just providing speakers or are u djing aswell? How big is the venue, a 15" or 18" sub would most definitely help.

    The venue would be outdoors with three walls in a stadium like setting which sort of makes me nervous. I've got a QSC GX3 amp, and I WILL be DJing. Those are the only speakers I have atm.

    May I ask who you're playing for? Because from your other posts in this forum it seems like you just decided to start DJing a couple of days ago.
