Don, I haven't done a job larger than 250 to 300 people in years, so the 500 figure was merely a guess based upon how well the pair of compacts handled 250 to 300 people. Now, when I was using the L1 PAS I did a job in a massive tent in Ocean City, Maryland with more than 1,000 paid attendance. The single L1 PAS with a single sub was more than adequate for all those drunken millionaires. For the jobs I do now, it would be overkill for sure.

This Saturday evening, I'll be at the marina tiki hut and if the weather cooperates I'll have about 250 people there, and that single compact handled that crowd very well two years ago. And, all the folks anchored out in the mooring field an eighth of a mi;e away said they could here the music just fine. Of course, the sound carries very well across the water at night.

Cheers,

Gary
