Hey Doug, what was the size of the rig you toured with, and tell us more about the 100lb movable horn assembly please.

16+8 per side, Crest 9000 power, PM4K and a Soundcraft Series FIVE.   Omnidrive DSP.

The movable HF assembly is easy to pivot, just unlock it, move it and it locks itself in place. 

The best setups put the LF sections of adjacent rows together.   

Slide the rigging bars in and out of the frame; same with the wheel bar assembly.  They needed some lube from time to time.

Somewhere out west, before I decided to leave the 3-wide bumpers made, I watched a stagehand break a grade 8 bolt.   I didn't think it was possible.  Loadout completed, but departure was delayed waiting for a torch. Unbelievable.

We've had them get poured on in monsoon type rain and Had a stack fall into a moat. They work very well in wet environments and just keep going.

I was on that show and took the blame for the floating speaker, unless that happened more than once! Vince never did let me live it down. My position is that I was on monitors, and shouldn't have to babysit FOH speakers at all. LOL 

I believe that box still worked after it dried out, but it required several replacement drivers pretty soon after. The water in that moat is quite silty, and it was impossible to get all the fine grit out.

From what I remember it only needed a HF diaphragm. Eveything else worked.

It did take a chain motor to pull it out of the mud though!
