That's where I was going with my questions about deployment. Find out whoever OK'd the "four corners" approach and hit them with something hard.
The way the room was initially set up was one speaker in each corner of the room and two smack dab in the center of the room facing but to but of each other. It was nothing but high end with a million dead spots. Lots of high flying frequencies making the music sound crappy. So I removed the two in the center after one had died on us. It sounded much better but still not powerful enough for the space.
I'm not an expert on sound installs but I have some knowledge. I've been a DJ for 20 years and now I'm running the dance room at this venue. I'm just looking for opinions to help me getting better informed.
As for the budget post... Every venue I've ever worked at with the exception of 2 always skimps and does things the cheap way. Yes it's extremely frustrating because we all know you get what you pay for. The owners of this place are similar to that but they have a lot of trust in me and my advice. There were only 2 ksubs in the room before I started and I managed to get them to get the earthquakes recently. What a difference that made!
With all that in mind... I need to come up with some sort of example to give them... bettering the sound and keeping it within their budget. So yes, the Yorkville's would be a good price range. I realize there probably needs to be 2 amps.. I called a shop and they told me the QSC 5050's would be good for that type of set up.
Anyway.. thanks for any advice you can offer. And please forgive me for my lack of smarts on installs. This is why I'm here.. to hopefully get some valuable info from the pros..
If having them in the corners is not the right way to place the speakers then what would be? The room is as rectangular as it can get.
