That's a really good point. The sound travelling far is a bonus for getting loud at least, but ya we will just have to keep it a little tame.
Maybe consider a B&C 18sp100 in 7-8 cubic footbass reflex box. Biamped to a nice Bayma or Faital 8" midbass to 1" horn\driver.
Hi,
Indoors the high and mid will fill any space.
Outdoors that won't happen, the usable space
will be near the speakers, can be a good thing.
rgds, sreten.
Indoors the reverberant field "fills" the space/room.
Outdoors there is no reverberant field - things sound much tinnier, and so the speakers seem smaller and less loud.
If you go and look at how modern PA/SR are built and what they use, you will get some ideas as to how they make it work outside. Also, if you are clever and search this forum, you may find a really slick solution for this sort of thing that is possible for one to build. The one I have in mind looks something like a conic horn... 🙂
Of course you could just open the doors on your car and crank it?

Let me say another thing. it may be fun for a party to have deafening dance music, but any good party also needs space where people can get away from it. A guy can't chat with a girl when they have to shout every word. You don't have to fill the entire outdoors, just the dance area.
You can just about do what you're after with a good pair of 15" subs driven by a NU6000 for bass. Take the DSP version if you don't fancy a processor.
Next up, I'd find a nice pair of 12" tops, and grab either another NU6000DSP, or an NU3000DSP.
That'd be a decent start-up system. The amps would support another lot of speakers in parallel without breaking a sweat if you wanted more coverage/volume later.
It'd probably be worth doing something like a THAM15 for bass. Use the nicest bass drivers you can - you'll save money long-term.
