In a couple nights I have a prominent piano player (two baby grands and one wireless, 5 total inputs)    The invoice has me taking one of our Cobra rigs (four subs,  four tops) for a 150 person event.  Mixing on a LS9-16 with one monitor.  I feel like the Cobra is WAY too much rig.  I'm feeling a smaller set up really.  Four to six small tops around the room and one sub.  Ideas, opinions.  I want to do this gig right.

Using four Audix scx125's for the pianos.

I think you should talk to salesperson who wrote up the order before making changes to things.

[Chad Graham]

Yep..  I have..  He is leaving it up to me.  We are a really small company.

If the invoice says overkill, consider yourself lucky.  You'll have all the headroom in the world and you can focus on making it sound awesome instead of worrying about that.  If the client is willing to pay for over the top, deliver everything you can!

It is far better to have to much and not need it than to have to little and damage it.

If the customer is fine with the price-then who cares.

with a 150 person event the question I would have is the performance in the center of the room ?   Are the 150 people seated at dinner tables ??   Larger room may need larger system? 

It is easy to turn down the levels but when your full power and need more, your stuck.

 Two over two is standard deployment for the cobra. It gets the tops up high and gives you the proper dispersion.

I find myself sweating far more when I bring too small a rig than too much.
