Small house party set-up question

I’m gonna’ be playing at a friend’s house party. It’s in his basement and it’ll fit 45 people. I have a pair of rokit 5’s, but I doubt they’ll be loud enough. Can you guys recommend speakers that wont overkill? Also, I have an audio 6 soundcard if that matters.

Thanks.

Guitar center has this pa system on sale for $150, I’m sure they’re probably pretty crappy, but for $150, they seem like decent speakers for a low key house party.

^ hell no

For a small party, the top 3 budget pa speakers are Behringer Eurolive, Mackie Thump, and JBL Eon (the latter being the most expensive). Plenty of good deals are to had on craigslist and ebay for all three.

For connecting it to the Audio 6, pick up 2 of these: [ame=“Amazon.com”]Amazon.com: Your Cable Store 12 Foot XLR 3 Pin Male To RCA Male Cable: Musical Instruments@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31vi8jihDgL.@@AMEPARAM@@31vi8jihDgL[/ame]

Do those speakers have good quality? I’m most likely going to be renting the speakers instead of buying them, so I guess I could go for some expensive ones?

Also, I’m not sure what a subwoofer is. Will I need one?

Thanks.

Dude. You call yourself a dj and you don’t know what a subwoofer is?! I suggest you google that word pronto!

(Don’t mean to sound like a dick but that question just made me go Huh???)

Brilliant… That just raised the bar for all of us my friend.

Apologies to the OP for the derail.

Any more suggestions?

lol. I spit my coffee out and I wasn’t even drinking any.

A subwoofer comes in 2 sizes generally, 6" and 12". 2 pieces of bread/bun, holding a variety of vegetables ie. lettuce, tomato and onion, as well as dog meat. This is only served in a few places around the world, and is considered a delicacy in those regions. Not sure why this pertains to DJing though…

the more peeps crammed in a small space the louder the system has to be mate. even up at our studio we sometimes have to turn the wharfedales up to 30% :stuck_out_tongue:
