I once had a client that owned a club celection systems worked there very fine an excellent set up
So they got another bar and run out of money
they called me and asked me what is possible to be done with the existing equipment
the nature of the bar was in a tourist area had one bar 8meters long and in front of it one dance floor may be 60 sq meters
Exsisting in the shop was one decent amplifier 2*500@8R and one pair of speakers full range 2 way one big BBC woofer and one tweeter ( ???? )
at first thought there was no way that the woofer could meet the tweter expect a huge gap in the upper mid area
target was to move the danceflor if possible and the bar will listen from the left overs
My idea was
use the bins 15" as "subs" placed on thedance floor , convert the all system to active 2way, construct a satelite that will include one 8" midbass and the existing tweeter placed in the ear level of a standing person on the dance floor
Added one more amplifier 2*200@8R+ 2*10 eq and electronic xover
Worked !!!
impact on the dance flor was superb, sound generally was nice and suitable for the use and type of program , satelite speakers was placed properly to move the people there
All worked fine
a few days from opening client was happy since he spent the minimum and sound was fine
Though there was a complain about the kick of the bass
Ammount of bass was not ennough kick of bass wasn't enough
I explaind that the woofer was not proper for such an application and even more the box was not designed for such an application
so the asked me if there is anything to be done with zero budget
I said to them there is one weird idea that i can apply but the results are unpredictable
Like what ? they asked
i said there might be a chance that bass after that is increasd in a level that is not correct and also there is a chance that bass will be floody and wably and dominate over the rest ( plus that you might exceed limits and tourist police might not like that )
Go ahead they said
So a removed the woofer from the box , removed also rubber feet of the box , placed them correctly on the dance flor , drill 4 drills for every bin and screw them on the wooden dance flor pretty tight ....
The same night owner was arrested for violation of laws related to spl
bar worked like that for 2 seasons problem free before sold to another owner .
