Where to place subs

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

I was wondering i am doing an event for 400 people today and didn’t know where to put the sub’s. I am using SoundTech LS18r Downfiring Sub’s and Peavey SP2-TI. I did not know if i should place the subs together in the middle of the stage on the floor or under the SP2’s for hight reason’s. Please Help!!!!

Another thing i am thinking is changing the amp settings. I am using the following amps
all are QSC RMX series amps; 1450 for high’s/ 1850HD For mid’s/ 2450 for the Low’s. Should i leave well enough alone and just keep it that way or change things up? Like go Bridge Mono on the 1450 for low’s giving the 1400 @ 4 ohms???? Also i am running a Driverack PA for my configuration settings and i am going to try and Pink the Room before the 5pm Dinner, due to they have meetings going on all day until 4:30.

“It’s hard to walk normally with four pounds of cephalopod stuffed down your pants”

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

Throwing the octopus is easy. More difficult is concealing the eight-legged creature until the toss is at hand, a skill that requires determination, luck and the ability to walk normally with 4 pounds of slimy cephalopod stuffed down your pants.

When Detroit drops in on Nationwide Arena Tuesday night in an attempt to further frustrate the Blue Jackets some among the Red Wings fans in attendance undoubtedly will have attempted to enter while packing octopus.

Some might even succeed, continuing a Detroit tradition dating to 1952 of throwing octopi on the ice during Red Wings games.

“I just sell it. What they do with it is up to them,” said Frank Gonzalez, owner of Frank’s Fish & Seafood Market in Columbus.

What they do with it is the second hurdle. The common method is to sneak the octopus through the turnstiles by slipping it into your trousers, a technique that Gonzalez does not understand.

“I wouldn’t want something moving around down there when you’re moving around,” he said, smiling.

“They’ve been creative,” said Eric Granger, general manager of Nationwide Arena. “We’ve caught them Saran-wrapped to the body.”
