When I was 16 I went to the hardware store and bought wood to build my first subwoofer enclosure , now I sell them and buy line arrays , do the same guys , I love you all , all my bass heads 😂❤
Dream job ‼️🔥 the van the cables the sound system you’ve got it all. As long as they pay you your job’s worth 💰 over kill don’t matter What matters is what they paid for
I love the content but it blows my mind that you have so many high end pieces (COMBINE8, ULX, P9T, etc) but are still running ZLX for tops. I love the ZLX for what it is but you should really consider upgrading to something like a RCF ART932 with the 3" HF driver. It's a crazy difference (I own both). ETX or even EKX if you wanna stick with EV (I had all ETX and a couple ZLX before I moved to RCF). Nowadays I only use the ZLX when I need more wedges or for rental / ceremony systems. But I love the content and I actually moved to using the AC mesh because of you. 🤙🏽
I hear you dude! You’re not wrong about the EVs! It was more of business/financial decision when I started the company rather than an audio one. I invested in quality components upstream because if I don’t have mics or IEMs that work consistently, and/or aren't easy to interface with, then ultimately the kind of speakers I have won't matter all that much. That’s my opinion. Thanks for watching and I hope the mesh system works out for you!
@@SilverCreekAudio I agree with @JosephSoulMusic on the ZLX´s and 3" or 4" HF drivers, but I for sure also 100% understand that it can be necessary to prioritize $$$$/gear. What caught my attention the most was the ZLX as frontfill LYING down making the horn a 60 x 90 degr., for a one-time-use and not that wide of a stage okay, but as a budget-solution I like the LD Icoa 12 (or 15) where you can rotate the horn, btw very versatile speakers for frontfill, monitor, small PA solo or with subs, and rental. I´m watching from Denmark, sub´ed 2-3 weeks ago and love the content, watched the rack video 2-3 times 👍👍👍 keep up the good work !
thanks for sharing these videos, love the process. wishing you both much success. I made a 100' 12/3 SOOW extension a while back for a couple of outdoor events I had, where the nearest plug was about 80' away. watching your videos made me wanna cut it in half and just patch when needed instead of carrying the whole thing around hehe..
I'm always startled as an European, to see you walking around in sneakers and jeans. If I were to show up at an event like that, people would start asking questions. LOL Would love to see more in dept mixing video. Like what choices do you make for (voc) FX, and why. What mics you use and why etc. Love the content. keep up the good work.
I love your content, organization and simplicity, i don't think it's overkill at all and i think you'll go a long way with small size production and niche, I had the Ev ZLX system as well and they definitely pack a punch for their size and price, just be aware of their limitations. Keep up the good work.
I need help we’re can I get the cable for power distribution in the stage I have 4 stage monitors and it’s complicated to to run power cable to it thank you
@@SilverCreekAudio I didn't see the stairs earlier, a place that big should be accessible by car, anyway you did a great job, I’m enjoy watching your video 😃
That was a tremendous amount of work for so little of a gathering of people. I have way less gear and have DJ’d events with over 300 people. Now I don’t feel so small.
Now I agree it’s better to have more but for that gig it really wasn’t overkill those tops aren’t that powerful nor those subs overall, I really enjoyed your video. Great job great equipment.
There's a couple of reasons! 1. It's new. I love using my new gear. 2. It's 3 inputs and 4 outputs. Way easier and quicker (for me) to have it centered and in one spot. All cables coming from the rack tends to make a mess of things. 3. I love using snakes. Call me old fashioned. At the end of the day, all that matters is that setup works with your workflow. I think these are the hooks amzn.to/4hAKwyA Thanks for watching!
@@SilverCreekAudio i second the snakes thing. even in smaller/less complicated setups, it can be super nice for organization to have all my stage i/o in one spot. and, its another degree of protection from cables being yanked and damaging gear. i'd rather lose a connector on my snake than on my mixer.

Hi sir , I am getting into the sound rental business in South Africa and I wanted to know how much do you charge that side , per hour or the amount of hours and price for an event you have done 🙏 it would be so helpful Sir , thanks for sharing your video
can you make a video from start to end how to own this and start it of yourself. I am trying to do events for years and want to get into sound and lighting stuff so can you please make a video of where to start and how to do it
I use the ELX 18SP subs too! How do you like their performance, pros and cons? I really appreciate their lightweight design. With your current setup, what’s the largest crowd you could comfortably cover? I'm thinking of it in terms of DJ mixes and making sure there’s enough punch for everyone. Why didnt you attach the subs together?
I have never been able to hear an audible combing issue with a center cluster like this , especially outside. But i'm sure they're a little off from the mains, they're not time aligned our anything.
Such a cool setup! My only complaint, as a DJ, is that the table seems to be too low. You wanna have one eye on the crowd while you're mixing to see people's reaction of the songs and with a table this low, you're probably leaned too much forward to see over the edge of the stage. I guess it depends on the height of the DJ, but I feel most comfortable when the table is 1m. I guess taller DJs think that's too low as well, or maybe their backs develop a permanent curve over time 😆
@@SilverCreekAudio I've recently started to not bring any equipment if there's already PA and lights coming from a rental, let them set up everything if they're already doing their thing. Always great to see how others do stuff and not have smelly armpits during the event lol
I’m guessing this is probably a closely guarded secret, but any way you can throw hints out at what this kind of job is going for now days? I’ve been out of the game for a while, but occasionally get asked to do things and don’t have a clue what to ask.
Very nice video. I'm also an engineer. What kind of cool straps do you have there? I hate it when the rest of them fly around. yours are so much more organized
Out of curiosity, how much are you charging for a gig like this? All that gear isn't cheap, did you bootstrap this business, business loan, or investor? I started a wedding DJ and audio business in October of last year, bought everything with either money out of my own personal income or with a credit card because that's all I could do, I tried to buy the best gear on a budget I could find and its done really well so far (we are booked 1 wedding a month until December of next year and have already done 12 this year) but I would love to have this level of equipment and be able to do bigger events and band gigs, Been looking at equipment and Shure and EV and all the digital mixers are still out of reach for us. I spent a good $2600 on the DJ console and another $10K on speakers, lights, etc. But I feel like we would have to book 1 wedding every weekend for a year to afford anything this nice. I don't want to raise my prices for the packages too much because I still feel like we are not on that level but its starting to seem like we should
my dad had 2 zlx 12" but he sold them to my uncle. my dad kept his ekx-15p and bought 2 zlx-12ps and a zxa1 sub for like 500 dollars from fb market place (used for a few months looked brand new minor scratches).. and he only uses it in his garage and friends house no gigs nothing like that..
so much work when two bluetooth boomboxes (like jbl), two subwoofer like the mth30 (with amplifiers), and an aux splitter would do the same... great enthusiasm tho! keep it up ^^
We had fun making this one! Thanks for watching, liking and subscribing guys!
Hi great video....where can I get those electric boxes with the break away connector?

Don't want to connect two extensions together because you reduce the usable amperage. Always better to carry one of each length.

Hello! Thanks for sharing your routine. It's satisfacting seeing your organization. Could you share the company that makes the racks that you use?
Thanks for sharing this. You worth my sub
Would glad to volunteer even if just hauling these awesome stuff.
For how much ppl can u use this setup, with 2 subs and 3 satelites?
Thanks bro, it's amazing, need a setup like that one
Bro this is so grt, I do work in sound system too with my brother in Uganda
That awesome! Thanks for watching man!
Good work that is my dream job i need more from you
Thanks! Should be more on the way!
That's a long haul load in/load out!
great setup.... keep up the good work..
why use an analog snake if its just 3 inputs & your mixer is next to the stage?
also what type of hooks do you use in your van for hanging cables?
There's a couple of reasons!
1. It's new. I love using my new gear.
2. It's 3 inputs and 4 outputs. Way easier and quicker (for me) to have it centered and in one spot. All cables coming from the rack tends to make a mess of things.
3. I love using snakes. Call me old fashioned.
At the end of the day, all that matters is that setup works with your workflow. I think these are the hooks amzn.to/4hAKwyA

Why didnt you attach the subs together?
Love the content!!!
Thanks man!
I think the firt thing you should do, when you get power and such to the speakers, is to play that song that is in this video. Loudly!
Sre those elx118p? I have a pair of those and I feel like they have no power… same with my pair of ekx15sp
👋 Where can I find the 12 Ga SOOW Cord connections and their adapters?
Home Depot
Would love to get a timestamp to see setup/breakdown startup start/finish times
Another great video thanks for share
Thanks for watching man!
Wait a minute, that power setup at the front of the stage, is that common or am I missing something?
Where do you suggest getting a shock mount rack case from? I’ve been enjoying all your videos and must have missed that.
The ramp for the van?
Holy crap is that a numark mixtrack 3. Can you confirm it is that controller, cause I have the exact same one
Nice setup.💪🏾🤟🏽
Thanks!
Does putting two subs next to each other cause a combing issue?
I have never been able to hear an audible combing issue with a center cluster like this , especially outside. But i'm sure they're a little off from the mains, they're not time aligned our anything.
what rachet straps.. the green ones. thanks
Rhino USA Retractable Ratchet Tie Down Straps: amzn.to/4cNWQbh
Great set up; it's a shame the number of people at that party was small
Maybe I missed in the video, how long was setup?
I have similar gigs with similar rigs and am just trying to see if I'm too slow.
I didn't even think to put that in the video. I would say the total time from load in to finishing setup was about 2 hours.
What are those power taps you are using on the front of the stage?
they're powercon drop boxes made by OA Windsor
Are you using the built in crossover eq options on the Matrix sends? Or is the physical sub handling that?
I'm using internal crossovers in the speaker's DSP.
Couldn’t you get the van any closer?
It doesn't drive up stairs very well.
Good job bro 😊😊
thanks dude!
How much head room do the zlx’s give? And do they compare with the qsc k12.2s
K12's can be pushed harder and more efficiently
Great vid! Just please upgrade those speakers asap! Only weak link in the rig and sadly the biggest difference maker imo
saving up! thanks for watching!

all the juice for the sound and light come from that 2 power?
How much you charge this setup per dj gig

You definitely shoulda had packed croud. I’m too poor to get all that equipment for a low count of a crowd. I love this too much. Nawwww
You can’t drive up to the stage?
Only stairs up to the area. You can see them during the load in briefly.
