Dcroc Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I have a recording studio complete with PA. My neighbors DO NOT like it come Halloween day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caniac Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 i use an amplified speaker I found on WOWLights, packs a clean clear 100watts!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I use very similar amps. Mine are 75 watts per channel and also made by Pyle. They have worked flawlessly for about 5 years. As of Fall 2014, the power to them is controlled by a relay which is controlled by a channel from one of my LOR controllers. I have two of the amps and each amp channel is driving a 75 watt speaker that is permanently installed in the yard. That gives me a total of 300 watts which is more then plenty for my yard.

EmmienLightFan Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I use a Pyle amp. One channel failed a few weeks ago... Weeks out of warranty. It is much quieter than the other, but when I get it above half it goes REALLY loud suddenly. It can be evened out with the balance, but not ideal. It lasted years, and I have tried all kinds of speakers on it. Pyle are a good brand and many use them. We don't need perfect audio quality or much volume for what they are used for, so the cheaper ones are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcroc Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Using a LOR channel to power your amp is probably not a good idea. That would mean the power is turning on and off between songs and such. Not good for amps, as 99% of damage to amps happens when powering on. Just not good to keep turning them on and off like that. If it doesn't blow the amp, it will play hell on the speaker drivers. Better off having it on it's own timer for power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Sarge Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I use a old VSX-D811S http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Home/AV-Receivers/Elite+Receivers/VSX-D811Ssounds gives me 7.1 sound at about 100 watts per.. plus the powered base.. system that I use to use in my house... I just put it in a plastic box to keep it dry in case of rain.. speakers and covered with plastic tupper ware type and mounted in the trees out of site.. and connected to a big powered sub woofer for the base sounds But I have no close neighbors who complain about the noise as I do not like in town...

Amps with a remote can be turned on/off with an IR blaster and either a little device that sits on your computer network to send signals or a remote control receiver that has IR blaster sockets on it. You can easily make a script that runs at the beginning of an LOR sequence to turn it on and also to change input, volume, or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince4xmas Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 I put my the power for my amp, yard sign, transmitter and power for all my controllers on a separate plug in socket timer. Set it to come on 5 minutes before show starts and shutoff 5 minutes after show ends. No issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
