what area are you going to be in, and are you planning on doing licensed events?

some areas you might as well not bother doing illegals unless you want the stuff to get confiscated very quickly, and if you are doing legals you are limited by the available venues and size… pointless spending fuckloads of cash on a stack you can never take out…

edit : saw “near cambridge” elsewhere so you’re local

I’d read up about the law and the harsh realities of doing parties in this region before you spend your cash…. BTW all the anti-rave cops are on facebook and they can get any private messages of yours without FB telling you if they even think you are going to be doing illegal raves…

sry just noticed u are planing on building them ur self … probably 100ish pound a cab if u use decent wood … mby 200 … choose mahogany … alltho very expensive .. fucking resonates the best .. espesh with deep bass lines like d+b (proper d+b not this kiddy pish u get now) and anything vocal it also really does justice to!

a grand isnt going to take you far for a full system if you are going to build it, second hand is a good idea…
Also, it is hard to build a system that specifically caters for both drum n bass AND hard trance, since these two require different systems… hard trance is gonna need a lot of punchy bass, where as dnb / jungle needs a nice lot of resonating bass.

ive got some guides for dnb / jungle here – as thats what im into and this is what i would do with my money:

but if your set on building it,

FOR YOUR TOP BOXES:
Well this is easy, you dont need good wood for this since it doesnt affect the sound, you will be using compression drivers & flare horns. There is no set design for top boxes, its based around the horn… you buy the horn, make sure it fits the driver, and build a box round it, hence you can use cheap wood.

MIDS:
for a first build, may i recommend these mids… cheap & easy to build
PA Systems, sound systems, speaker boxes, live Sound – Dancetech

BASS:
GSubs: Cheap & not too difficult to build either, and loud! not too heavy either.

Speakerplans.com

__________
All these speakers are affordable within your budget i think, and the drivers also (you need to have drivers that match the cab design or its not gunna sound how its meant to)

Im not an expert on this though, and if you are looking to build your system,
Speakerplans.com Forums – Powered by Web Wiz Forums
Thats a great forum for building it

And http://www.purple.com has a lively For Sale area where you can pick up speakers etc.

my mates got a couple of transit vans. i would like to do some outdoor parties. i have basic knowledge of setting up used to help a mate throu parties. but i also got a mate that did a degree in sound engineering was sort of relying on him to fill in the blanks.
ye i bet it will but i been pissing my money away on fuk all for ages be nice to have things to show for it for a change plus hopefully itll make me a few quid here and there.
