Exactly, I am good friends with the GC and I am trying to break into a new business.

But does the CUSTOMER know that?

We stayed at a Holiday Inn last night--------------

Exactly, I am good friends with the GC and I am trying to break into a new business. I've been installing home theaters and distributed home audio for about a year. Installing home audio is so much easier to plan and install than commercial applications

And that is not exactly the kind doctor I want.  Somebody who has been doing simple things for a short period of time-with no formal education-and now they want to into the operating room-and they are trying to learn tips from an internet forum.

No- I'll pass-I want somebody with  real world experience.

Yeah, the "I got a guy...." model.  Works like a champ

Let's see: somebody else is going to hang the cabinets.  Somebody else is going to wire the system.  Looking for help on a Forum to design the system.  So all that leaves is collecting the money.

Sounds good to me-------------------------------------

That's OK.  Just plug in another one.  They're expendable.

Actually you are not that far from the truth,  I see mini-speaker plastic "Home theater in a box" systems installed far too often by amateurs or DIY owners. 
They evenly space the 5 speakers around the area and wonder why all they get out of 3 of them are weird echoes and background noises when the big game is on!

[Craig Hauber]

That is NOT what I took from your original post.

If the DJ is going to bring their own equipment-then why did you even mention it and talk about the "type" of DJ.

That is totally misleading to anybody even thinking about helping.

So now it is a TV sound system?

And don't forget there's not an owner/manager out there who at some point will want to connect the background music system to the visiting band or DJ's self-contained system.
-If it hasn't already been blown up by the after-hours staff then it will most definitely be at this point!

(I think it takes more $$$ to make a rig "bulletproof" then it does just for the speakers and stuff that people can actually see)

Thanks for the sarcastic comments >after< I said I'm looking to sub this out.

Alexander....

Don't think that all this is directed squarely at you.  Yours is just another in a looooong line of similar posts by well-meaning folks with an interest in sound who are asked by friends/acquaintances for free help and advice.  So folks in your position in up trapped in the middle between restauranteurs/club owners trying to implement some dream scheme and educated, working professionals being asked to give informed, professional opinions for free over the Nintershnet.

A lot of the grief attendant is just sort of "last-straw-ism".

You're not the first, and you won't be the last.........
