Depending on the system, take the total Watts of your speakers
multiplied by 2. This gets you the best projection Wattage
necessary for your P.A.
Example #1 - two, 150Watt speakers 300Watts X 2 = 600Watts needed
Event Kit PA System – two 250Watt speakers 500Watts X 2 = 1000Watts needed
Example #2 – two, 300Watt speakers 600Watts X 2 = 1800Watts needed
