JBL control 29AV for mains

[scottcameron]

i acquired 4 JBL control 29AVs, possibility i could get 2 more, my question is would these do alright for a 3 piece band as mains. would arraying them work or will they comb. i have a set of behringer subs i would run along with them crossed over 2 way. most of the shows are fairly small with an occasional out door show. we usually mic everything. will be running them off a QSC 2450.

Their format won't vertically array well, and it would take at least four per side to get enough output. They're hi-fi cabs disguised as pro-sound, unless you consider Muzak pro, not the right tool for the job.

Yea...they won't cut the mustard for live sound mains.
They are monitors and designed for permanent "fill" speakers. I'd be more inclined to use them as spot monitors for the band and get 4 quality full range speakers for the mains.
