What amp to buy

What amp to buy

just because it came up, i’ll just ask here.. does any of you guys has a good tip on a nice, cheap amp?!

can’t give you any numbers, cause i don’t know much about it..:roll_eyes:
thinking about getting one for my bedroom and some houseparties.. right now i got an 450W 5.1 system, which isn’t the real deal for DJing, i guess :stuck_out_tongue:

and sorry to OP for hijacking your thread :wink:

anything up to 1 - 1.5K is more than adequate for house parties. 450 is fine.

When you say 5.1 i guess you obviously mean a surround sound/home theatre system? (cuz that wont do)

well i cant really put a brand forward but i first started with a 120W skytec something (cant remember model) and some really small 8 inch pa speakers. (indoors it was good for 50-100 ppl ie. small house party) treated them well and they treated me well for a year till a drunken idiot fried it with beer! all up it was roughly $300 aus. you just have to make sure you watch level’s and clipping in the audio and dont redline anything. and dont get a less powered amp than your speakers. youll burn out the amp.

sorry Moo that this took over your thread for a bit

oh and another thing too. check out how much the SPL rating is on your speakers. a few hundred watts wont increase your sound all too much but a higher SPL will

I wouldnt worry about the speakers untill later, or atleast untill you try the software, What logitech system do you have, those are probably loud/clear enough to get started to see if your into it. After your into it then get some monitors to practice on and a system later if you need it.

For the mixer the vci will control the internal mixer. If you get timecode vinyl or cd’s or start using ableton live + traktor then you might want a mixer and that could be another usb device controlling software.

Try some demo’s of the software to get you started.
