What speakers will be suitable for running this amp/mixer ?

http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/PMP3000.aspx

I do mostly smaller venues but occasionally get the odd bigger do. it says it can do 900w RMS in Bridged mode. So if i wanted to run this ? would i need 2 X 900W RMS Speakers @ 8Ohm ?

Thanks and i know this is probably a stupid Question

Not stupid. The way they post the specs can be confusing. When you bridge the amp, it's like two channels fastened together, so 8ohms bridged is equivalent to 4 ohms per channel. Thus you can't put two 8 ohm cabs across a bridged amp, unless it can run at 2ohms per channel.

This Berry gives 450w per channel at 4 ohms, so maximum noise comes from boxes like these.

Some folk love 'em, some hate 'em.

Sorry, forgot to add, that is of course not bridged. Loud bang otherwise!! I'd find some efficient 4 ohm 250- 300w cabs, and run it stereo or mono, but not bridged.

Would it be loud enough for a venue for about 150 seating area with the cabs you linked, as i was looking at a second hand pair of these on ebay !

Cheers mate

I'd have said yes, but: If possible, listen to some first, because not everyone ( me included ) likes their sound. I have some older smaller Peaveys that I love. The Peavey Pro's are about as loud as you get for your money. Hope this helps.

Peavey Pro 15's - Not heard the MK1 versions, but I have the MK2 ones (Black), And these sounds quite good to me. Bit of AutoEQ and they sound even better. Bass is quite good on them too..

I had/still have Audio Intimidation INT-112's - quite awful - Piezo horn/tweeter. Yuck!

Cheers,

haha, would you think then its useless getting more powerful speakers touse the bridge mode ?
cheers

Totally, because you could only have ONE 8Ohm cab running in bridge mode, cos that's equal to a 4ohm each channel. No power gain at all,more hassle, one less driver, and less sound. Bridge in this case will actually lose you output.
