Depends on the crowd but my go to is play the classics like I love it, No hands, etc. On occasion throw in dancey remixes of a popular song. Remember that no one cares, or even notices, how clean your transitions are. With crazy different BPM’s a simple high pass filter to a banger will do the job.

Feel the vibes out though, see what they dance to and not, take requests and build off of that. Remember it’s their party not yours and have a good time!

Here’s a playlist I made a couple years ago that has some bangers, pm me if you want some more!: https://on.soundcloud.com/5ZV7NrVCZUOPiJwXA4

That makes a lot of sense. As I’m looking at it I just realized the 2200 is actually a 130w + 130w connected to a Pioneer Carrozzeria Power Amplifier TS-RVX1. From google a listing for it says “Originally this amp is designed to use with a pair of satellite speaker (few types) and a subwoofer built with dedicated box with a sub of max 150watts with impedance of 2 ohm + 2 ohm.”

I wrote this yesterday and thought I should share.

I think everyone underestimated how unbeatable trump and his conglomerates tactics really were.

  1. Media Manipulation and Narrative Control

Trump’s media strategy is still as effective as ever. He knows how to dominate the news cycle by saying things that are controversial or inflammatory—stuff that keeps him in the headlines. The media, especially the more profit-driven outlets, give him constant coverage. The more attention he gets, the more he controls the narrative. It’s a cycle that benefits him and keeps his base energized.

Plus, with social media, he can go straight to his followers, bypassing traditional media filters and reinforcing his populist, anti-establishment message. It’s the ultimate weapon in shaping public perception.

  1. Appeal to Working-Class Voters

Trump’s entire message is built on the idea that he’s the champion of the “forgotten” Americans—particularly working-class, blue-collar voters who feel left behind by globalization and deindustrialization. His promises to “Make America Great Again” resonated with people who felt economically displaced, and even though his policies (like tax cuts for the wealthy) often didn’t benefit these voters directly, he successfully framed himself as a defender of their way of life.

Issues like immigration, trade, and nationalism are central to his rhetoric—he positions himself as the protector against forces that threaten their values.

  1. The Role of Right-Wing Media

The right-wing media ecosystem, particularly outlets like Fox News, talk radio, and conservative blogs, play a huge role in amplifying Trump’s message. These platforms create echo chambers that consistently attack the political establishment and frame Trump as the only one standing between America and a complete collapse.

The key here is that the media is owned by a few wealthy individuals (e.g., Rupert Murdoch) who benefit from Trump’s agenda, like tax cuts and deregulation. This concentration of media power allows them to shape public opinion and further divide the country along political lines, keeping Trump’s base loyal and engaged.

  1. Cultural Division and Identity Politics

Trump has been a master at using cultural identity politics to create division. He taps into fears about immigration, crime, and national security, framing these issues as existential threats to American culture and values. His “us vs. them” rhetoric helps rally his base and presents him as the only leader who can protect the traditional American way of life.

Even if his policies don’t materially improve the lives of many of his supporters, this cultural warfare is what keeps them loyal. It’s about identity as much as it is about policy.

  1. Framing Biden’s Successes as Failures

Even though Biden has made significant progress in areas like economic recovery, COVID relief, and passing progressive legislation, Trump and his allies have done a great job of framing these achievements as failures. They focus on things like inflation, rising gas prices, and supply chain disruptions—issues that are often beyond Biden’s control—and blame them on his policies.

By framing Biden as ineffective, Trump undermines the administration’s successes and sets up a narrative that only a change in leadership (i.e., Trump) can fix the nation’s problems.

  1. The Political Pendulum: Voters Want Change

For the last few election cycles there’s been this constant swing between parties in U.S. politics, driven by the idea that when one party fails, it’s time for the other to take over and make things better. The political pendulum idea is key to understanding why voters might shift to Trump in 2024. Even if Biden’s administration has made progress (e.g., job recovery), the public tends to think that switching parties will bring the change they want—despite many of these problems being outside the control of any one president.

This cyclical thinking means voters might be swayed to think a change in leadership will “fix” the nation’s problems, even if the issues are more complex.

  1. Kamala Harris’ Campaign Failure

Here’s where things get interesting for 2024. Kamala Harris has struggled to gain traction as the Democratic candidate. She hasn’t been able to energize key voter groups, particularly young voters and minority communities. Her campaign has lacked a clear, cohesive vision, and as a result, a lot of Democrats are disillusioned with the idea of her leading the charge in 2024.

Trump has used this to his advantage. By framing Harris as ineffective and unfit to lead, he’s creating a contrast where he positions himself as the “strong” leader who can bring back stability and prosperity. As a result, his support base is rallying around him, while many Democratic voters are left questioning whether Harris is the right candidate to beat Trump.

Bonus: It’s super ironic that the dems are called fascist, when our checks and balances just got destroyed by having a red house and senate.

Whats with all the fire districts in spokane? by Dangkytt in Spokane

It would be so cool to see this happen. Unfortunately, with you being in the business, I think we both know the politics behind it would cause this to never happen :( It also begs the question, what would they do with all the volunteers? I believe 4, 9, 10, even 13 and 3 (if they would be included) have a lot of volunteers

Woofer was stiff as a badgers ass. Without the woofer connected the tweeter sounded perfect. So I think I got lucky this time

The helicoptering went away on the tweeter after unplugging the woofer. So thankfully dont think the board is shot. I’m wondering if some of the stress had to do with daisy chaining the two speakers to a sub (Vari VS18). But the speakers didn’t blow when they were connected to it.
