no dj touches any controls apart from the dj mixer channel faders and gain controls, but tell them how much to go upto, and NOT beyond

I have a hard time believing that works. Telling a hard-headed DJ how much he can turn up his equipment... They always seem to want it louder, when you give them their check the fader is at a normal level, but at the end of the day it's always all the way up.

Does he think that the sound guy doesn't notice when he turns up?

Lets face it guys Jack isnt anywhere as annoying as Tim Duffin is/was. Charlie

True, but maybe Tim's liquid cooled subs would be right for Jack.

I like the idea of a QSC PLX-3102 because it gives the subs 3k each.

I believe Silas tried to point this out and it got lost in the discussion of how best to keep idiot DJs from blowing up your gear.  You can read the amp output specs yourself here: http://www.qsc.com/products/amps/plx2/  It is not a 3000w/ch amp but perhaps you mean you'll bridge one amp into each sub, which is sensible given that you don't want your only subwoofer amplifier to experience a problem during a gig and then go without bass.  I don't own PLX amps but I read mixed feelings about them on subs.

If you really want to keep idiot DJs from blowing up your gear you should put security panels on your racks and bi-amp your tops so the HF drivers can't be blown up by clip distortion, or pay someone to babysit said idiot DJs.

[ You're getting me all wrong. I AM listening to what people say, its just that I have a very hard time understanding it all, and also have a lot of trouble with concentration, probably due to my adhd.

Is it me or does every DJ who "doesn't get it" or is obnoxious claim to have ADHD.

If that is truly the case-there is no point in trying to explain it as they cannot pay attention long enough to "get it".  So just let them go their own way and do what they want.

They will anyway.

I've been following but have standby this week and very little time. You both suck. It took over a year to forget about Duffin, so all I can say now is "Bus driver, stop here and let my friend Jack off."

Sorry I revived the nightmare Bob, I just thought it might put jack in perspective.

Finally someone who's sticking up for me getting bullied. I cant help that I have adhd, I find simple things hard to understand due to lack on concentration.

Jack,
Some of that was tongue in cheek, maybe not. But here's what you need to do. Take your thoughts, write them down on paper, go over them, combine them with any listening tests or comparisons you've made, and make a decision.

This thread could go on forever and nothing will be accomplished, other than those who may have an answer for a valid question in the future might be very hesitant to respond for fear of writing the second addition of this novel. Good luck, and let us know how you make out.

Then just give up trying to understand.  If you admit that you cannot/will not understand-then asking the same questions over and over again and again will not get you anywhere.  You STILL will not get it.

Maybe if you listened to some real music it would help to change the way your brain "thinks" and would allow some more brain cells to develop and then some of this might sink in.

Brains that are "exercised" are known to be smarter.  Mindless repetitive "noise" does not help any.
