    Very cool video you have some serious gear bro. Our dad is also a DJ and helps us buy gear. One of the things we do to buy gear is with our dad's Amazon Prime card we get new gear with no interest for 6 or 12 months. We want to go further in production so he is helping us set up LLC and get a small business loan.

    Thanks for sharing this information and being honest. Well done to your dad for having the belief in you to invest in your future. Not only are you providing a professional service that you enjoy but you are learning about all the things that make a good businessman - investing wisely, marketing, getting bookings, dealing with clients, providing quotes, employing others, invoicing, cash flow etc. These are all great life skills that you can apply to any business in the future. Well done!

    Sweet setup!!
    Only thing id comment is, weight distribution in your trailer. The rule of thumb is having your heaviest of weight at the front of the trailer closest to the hitch and work your way back, reason for it is fish tailing. It could be a cause for an accident. Other than that, great setup!

  • @christinaweena
    @christinaweena Před 2 lety +2

    Hey, to get that old paint off try using some warm water to clean any loose dirt the top of that flight case. Then grab a rag and try using some fingernail polish remover (acetone) on that paint stencil. Give it some circular scrubbing. If that doesn’t work, you can try isopropyl alcohol or rubbing alcohol (probably under the sink or in the medicine cabinet at your folks house). Good luck and GREAT find!

    Now that i saw that last part in your video. Your just like me. Im currently 15 and have a huge system. (And yes my dad bought nost of the stuff) altho im starting to pay back. Im using 6 dual 18s, passive with amplifers, i find them more satisfying if you know what i mean. 4 dual 15s and 4 15" mackies. (I also have 4 cerwin vegas usally use 2 for a small loadout since there single 18s with 2 mackies) But what im looking foward to is line array. There more efficient in weight. I have a robot aswell not to long ago, and other miscellaneous stuff for a dj. Real nice to see that theres other people like me at a young age. And currently im just trying to get contracts. Im designing my business card as i type this actually, and i hope for the best :) My next thing is to buy the Video wall. But that will be a huge investment. Almost 12k. The thing is with my stuff, my speakers monstly, besides them mackies. There home made, me n my dad build the boxes and buy the drivers. Its a fun expirence besides the labor. And also not to long ago, about a month i got a enclosed trailer and f250 for the gig. The first time i used the trailer it was already worth it becaused it rained 💀.. besides the luck. What i was gonna ask you before i saw that last part is. Not assuming you still got those 7r lights still is, i would be a lil more on the lookout for those 7r lights. To be specific because there bulb. Those bulbs runns 24/7 once u turn the light on. When the lights are "off" there still on inside. You can probably see it inside/around the light casing. And these lights tend to draw 250w, Countinuous. Countinuous poeer tends to heat up wires more depending the wire. And can trip a breaker in a certain amount of time. I currently have 6 7r beams i try to have 3 on each outlet but at max use 5 per outlet, (15 amp) i really do wish i had led beams something like those you have or the intimidator. But its just something to note for power. Other than there all good lights :) and yes i had to program the lights and make the scenes. Once u do there sick!. Iv kinda became a lil master in creating fixtures. (Since there 7rs are mostly from china) I wish you good luck near your future :), From North Carolina

    Those are both only 30 amps not 60. You get 30amps on each phase if your running 120volt items you only have 30 amps. If you have 240volt items you still only have 30 amps.

    How have those k12.2s worked out for you? I recently bought 4. I was super exited to use them and when I did, one of them turned off on me at a gig. It’s already getting replaced. Has that ever happened to you? I’m worried about the reliability. I’m hoping it was just one defective unit and nothing else.

    • @DJFiezta
      @DJFiezta  Před 2 lety +1

      Same thing just happened to me a couple weeks ago in February. I’m going to replace the amp and hopefully that’ll fix it but other than that, they’ve worked great! I’ve had them for a good 4 years now and they’re workhorses. I’m planning on retiring them soon and replacing them with line arrays but I’ll still be using them as monitors when I have gigs with bands

      @@DJFiezta I would keep the k12.2 for center when you dj, the line arrays will not cover the center area in front of the dj. I dj a few events and they want me to use the line arrays they have setup. After I perform a sound check. I always end up putting my K12's either under my table or in front of the booth I'm in.

    • @DJFiezta
      @DJFiezta  Před 2 lety +1

      Here’s a detailed list of everything I own with prices:

      I charge an average of $3500 per gig, at this rate it would take about 30 gigs to pay for everything, that’s without subtracting costs for materials and crew paychecks. I have 72 gigs under my belt in the span of 4 years
