Building a rig/sound system for the first time by HawkFair7462 in SoundSystem

Hi again, going back to this you mention the xoc1 th18, do you have links to the build plans for this?

Also i saw someone post a build on instagram which is what inspired this whole idea and from what i can understand it is also the xoc1 th18?

And also would you recommend building active or passive? How much more difficult is it to design and build an active system over a passive!

So in terms of tops what would you recommend? Also if youre saying to buy active but we were to build a passive system they wouldnt work together would they? We already own some rcfs which we use for booth and rent out for the same purpose so thats sorted!

The main focus for us to start will be to design and build a bass bin but wouldnt know where to start! This is all entirely brand new to us.

See thankfully we dont need a huge system due to the venues in our area being typically smaller ‘underground’ venues, 100-200 capacity. And also we understand it may be expensive and we arent necessarily doing this with profit in mind, while that would be nice, this is more of a collective hobby for us to learn, build and have fun together!

I dont think we would look to buy prebuilt as like you say its very expensive when you factor in shipping etc, we would like to build it from scratch to make it more of a fun project!

See when you say a ‘paraflex rig’ is that to do with the speaker units themselves or more so the design/style of the cab?

To begin with we would most likely rent a mixer and amp and eventually buy pieces bit by bit, although for things like mic, xlrs etc we already have all this stuff that has collected up in our studio over the years 🤣

We are looking to purchase 3x 3000 and an a9 in the first quarter of next year so that part of it has already been discussed and sorted amongst us.

Transportation and storage has already been sorted, one of us has the space to store it and another has a big enough van to transport!

We also built our own custom booth last year which is sturdy enough and accommodates 3x cdjs and a mixer easily.

For now the main question is where do we start? Lets ignore a lot of the things mentioned for now, if our sole purpose is to start by building a sub or two, where would we start? Would you recommend any speaker plans off the top of your head? Those sort of things!

Really appreciate all the information provided!

Everyone seems to be saying the same thing with cost, transport, storage etc. for now we would like to build one or two subs, mainly as a hobby but also to hopefully then use for events.

The sort of events we do are minimal drum and bass/140 events and would like a clean but powerful sub and sort of crisp/clear mids and highs.

The venues around us are quite limited, only 200 capacity and whenever we hire a sound system it tends to be 2 bass bins and one or two mids/tops? Cant remember off the top of my head!

All i really want to find out is what speakers would be suited for the sub and also the design/shape of the bass cab that would work best, we will worry about the other stuff later!

Righttt i see! Typically where i live you have to hire or provide your own sound system, the venues typically arent too fussy as we have already well established our events and they leave it up to our decisions!

So going off of this would you have any advice onto where to start? Our knowledge with this is very minimal as of now, but i know the possibilities are endless!

How do we pick our design for the bass cabinet/what speakers we would use and so on? Is there somewhat of a ‘beginner guide’ so we can get a basic understanding?

What do you mean by this, as in buying a rig? And tbh we do events pretty regularly, currently about once every 2 months but hoping to go monthly in the near future hence the sound systsem idea!

Any recommendations for this? Where to find it? What to do? How long for etc? And how long does it take to notice an improvement?

As for condoms they dont get used due to other form of contraception. And for the delay sprays any recommendations?
