Wanted: OT: Home DJ speaker setup.

Im currently ramming my decks through an ancient PA and some HI-FI style speakers, and they cant take the bass, even at low volumes.. the above sentence probably belies the fact that I know NOTHING about this stuff, so anyone got a tried and tested system that is good for bedrooms but can be cranked for a party?

I dont want to spend more than £50-100 though, so if you have any suggestions for cheap sites, or even stuff you dont need anymore then gimme a shout!

cheers.

probably overdriving the speakers with the amps ! too powerful perhaps

yeah I figure the mixer is too 'good' for the amp, would that make sense, as in its pumping too much through the amp and thus the speakers arent geared up for it!?

no idea, ned to do some reading.

Turn the master down on the mixer then and use the master on the amp... sound like the speakers may just be knackered. Are these record decks or cd decks?

no the wattage of the amps can blow the speakers ....pa amps and hi fi speakers not really compatible

mixer may run thru any system normally i think but if its going thru a pa (public address) system and hi fi (home) speakers i think thats yer problem ....

I would say, start here...

Its a normal (not great) mixer running through an old home hifi amp(not PA, got the terminology wrong), then through better, but still home-use speakers..

using vinyl, which I think may contribute...

I have the mixer on very low, and the amp very low, and while its not very load at all the rumbles are basically fluttering the speakers at a ridiculous rate... if I lower the mixer and push the amp then the air noise is ridiculous...

Im just gonna get a small PA and speakers I reckon.. did UTFS! but everything was quite pricey new, and with ebay stuff I just dont know if its going to be shockingly shit..

cheers fellerss.
