RE: Damned Mackie's
not being funny, but that's hardly a speaker for a club sound for fucks sake - that's a speaker to sling either side of the stage to re-enforce a couple of acoutic guitarists or to cover vocals & brass etc for a live pub gig.. you want big old sturdy boxes mate not glorified bloody hi-fi units.
If you are really hard up get a big old fridge, like a commercial fridge with no upper icebox, and rip off the door and all the outer pipes and compressor etc so it's a raw shell, cut a sheet of marine ply to fit in the door space and bolt it in and drop some 18" spekers into that - 100% yard stylee bass bin mate!!
use the mackies for the top end only and get a bloody great amp for the bass end and a crossover to split off the tops to the mackies.
or check the DT PA SECTION and build some boxes. (we added 18" bass boxe design recently cpurtesy of celestion UK - there's planty of others, and THAT is what you want, not this newfangled malerkee
Mate you want to go down carnival and checkout the boxes there. Sounds good to me.
or hire proper pa for your gigs - those mackies wont take hours of pounding clipping bass end I reckon.
