I’m looking to start regularly throwing large scale parties (starting this summer at around 50-100 people, but hopefully getting larger as the years go by.), currently my only speakers are at about 300W total I’m not sure though.
I am likely to expand my speaker setup though in the future.
By the way, this isn’t for band set up, it’s for DJs.
I’m currently saving to buy an amplifier, but there is so much choice that i have no idea what to go for.
I’m looking for £100-£250 new OR second hand.
What amps should I look out for?
What would you reccomend size wise? I was thinking 1/3Kw myself, but I’d like another opinion.
Thanks
amplifiers must suit the speaker output, no point getting a 3kw amp for a 100w pair of speakers.
likewise dont power a 1000w sub with a 50w amp.
you should use power amps. no hifi amps etc.
avoid skytronic/skytec.
behringer EP2500 / EP1500: very good amp that is cheapish second hand.
tip1: your likely to get fucked over by OB at least once
tip2: you need lots of money

Definatly a good make but chek condition etc..
behringer ep2500’s are good amps i think, and youll def be able to get one in that price range, as long as theyre not being pushed too hard they go all night, ours have been rinsed all night on bass duties and never miss a beat.
other similar price and power amps are c-mark 2650’s, alot of people rate them as budget amps, ive had two of the less powerful 2450 versions which both broke, but are easy fixes and alot to do being poorly set up whilst still learning the ropes,
both these brands are easy to come by and affordable,
what speakers and amps do you already own?
