Cost verses what works now is an issue

My question is why add subs to a system that runs in the upper
90% of the human voice?

I realize they run music a bit in an arena but why bother adding
subs?

Adding low end in an reverberant acoustic nightmare is
gonna cost you big time and having someone come in and do it
for you is gonna cost you even more

I suggest this...if you can hear the vocal well above the ambient
noise of the crowd in the rink then stick with what you have
and dont worry about subs

If you cant hear the vocal well defined over the crowd then
I suggest you spend your money on some new full range
loudspeakers (horn loaded) that will do the job well and give you coverage

Dont hire some local music store clown to do it either
Get someone who specializes in installs in arenas

Be prepared to pay out the ying in cost
