if you have unlimited funds:
FUNKTION-ONE : OFFICIAL WEBSITE

but for your first rig I’d imagine your best bet would be to shop around the net for a second hand setup, then find someone who knows they’re shit to approve the deal before you buy it

People often ask this same question and the answer from me is always:

Void Basys

If you never plan on having a big rig and just want something small that needs the minimum amount of knowledge to set up then you can’t really beat the above.

It’s list price is £3200 but you will get a good deal if you ring them and everything you need is included.

Problem is, most people will look at that and laugh at the 1.5k rating. However, the amount of watts a system draws is a small part of the picture and it will no doubt kick out more and sound much better than a 5k bunch of mismatched cabs with cheap amps which is poorly set up due to limited knowledge.

agree’d, everyone makes mistakes whilst learning, so try and make them mistakes as cheap as possible in the long run, check Speakerplans.com forum, ask lots of questions and plan what you want to do before making any purchases,

whats your rough budget??

Yeah speaker plans all the way.

As you said you just want something small i would say buy 4 1850’s or 186’s get two HD’s to go on top of that and then two tops and maybe a tweeter.

But his depends on what style of music you want to play.

But if you don’t want to throw illegals then i would buy some pro gear for 5 grand, get a few Void Loony Bins (which are a similar design to the 1850 but go lower and kick out an extra 3db) and some Stacy tops, you couldn’t easily do that with 5 grand and then have some left over for amps ect…

You want this sort of set-up…

And for those who are interested this is their full Sound System, sweet ey?!

void isnt the gear you want for small freeparties / house parties though ? coz of police etc

Why?

Void Basys is a compact reflex system that’s gona get you no more grief than any other system. In fact it’s ease of setup means you can get it away asap if need be.

Rigs are expensive and there is no point jumping in without learning first….you will only end up buying twice.

true dat….

my setup is completely different to what i first bought after learning more. also havin all the gear and no idea is not good, make sure you know what your doing and how to set it up properly.

hence why the void basys is a good start, as you can always sell the rest for a good price as it holds its value

yeah but at free parties & house parties, your not going to make much return on it, the quality of sound isnt going to be highly demanded… meh your the experienced one…

The money making side of things never really crossed my mind tbh.

We have a big stack of Void and ASS and I can’t be assed trying to make money from it.

Nope it’s not 9bar, its a local sound system too be, they haven’t don’t many parties but they are currently got some night coming up, this is their facebook page which will keep you updated on all legal events they throw.
They play a range of Dubstep, Drum & Bass, Electro, Hard Trance, Psychedelic Trance, Electro Breaks, Hardtek & Electro Psy.
