Where is a good place to rent speakers from for an outdoor blockparty?

Question

we have an upcoming block party and i need to rent big huge DJ speakers that will plug into my iPod. Any ideas?

Answer 1

not unless you rent "active" (powered) DJ speakers you'll need a whole PA system.  there are many places that rent PA systems look in the yellow pages for "sound reinforcement" or PA systems.  you will probably get a mixer ( this takes inputs like an iPod, CD player, Mic...)  An Amplifier (powers the speakers) and the actual speakers. plus all the cable you'll need.    the price will depend on how much Watts you want in the system.  ( the more watts the louder it gets) but overall it depends where you live.  try the yellow pages there your best shot.  you might even think about purchasing equipment from a retailer if you are going to do this a lot. try zzounds if you want to buy.  I would call them and they will help you find the right system.
