Looking for loud & large warehouse speakers!

[thespeakerbox]

I need to put a quick sound system in a warehouse. What what you guys recommend that's loud and cheap.

Cerwin-Vega's are known for their high decible levels.
In fact for years their slogan was "Loud is beautifil, if its clean"
It would help if you could specify what price range you are looking at.
That said, in general, a horn loaded speaker system will usually be the most effecient.

You don't want loud and cheep. You want a bunch of small (6"?). full range speakers.

Since loud is geometrically inversely proportional to distance, what's way to loud close, will be way to quiet far away.

Good point, also, with so many speakers, perhaps you could save cost by powering two speakers per channel in series, but you'd need to find some pretty efficient speakers

We need more information. Is this for paging where intelligibility of voice is important (over tow motors, for example?)

Do you need better fidelity for music?

In the first scenario you could use 70V amps and attach as many bullhorns as you need. Plenty loud. beloved patriot for music though.

If you need music fidelity you may want to look into EV two way systems with 10" woofers and a compression horn driver. These can also be used with a 70V system.
