    I can help you on the basics, though @Terry Nutkins and @John Peachy will probably be more useful for stuff for a bigger venue. Good luck in your venture!

    Hi. likewise. Not sure if you are looking at PA, or DJ equipment.

    If you are putting in DJ equipment Pioneer is standard, although you'll find plenty of DJs willing to bring their own gear. More about being a good DJ TBH. I do know reliable people that install gear. Drop me a PM.

    What I need is speakers around the warehouse, and the main systems for playing and mix music.
    Also someone to install and show me how to use it lol
    I was looking at local DJs but in long run I’m best learning and have own equipment

    If it's a fairly big space, with speakers around the walls / roof you'll need a professional install, as you'll need delays putting in, otherwise it will just be a mush of sound. These are the people I work with. The owner is called Pete. He's based up in Leeds, but that's not really an issue, as he works all over. It won't be cheap, but the job will be done properly:

    When he reopens go see Chris at full volume in Sheffield, he'll be able assist you with everything you need, he also offers a install service if you want the PA fitted in rather than been on speaker stands.

    I've dealt with Full Volume, good people, but if it is going to be speakers around a big space there are things a proper sound installation company can only really do, like adding delays to the speaker signal, on top of compression and equalisation for the room. All that would be located in a sealed box, with inputs for the leads from the DJ mixer. It really depends on budget. If you've ever had to make a speech & the speakers are more than 20 metres away there is a disconcerting delay. If you get that delay all round a room, you get a mess of sound. Not to say Chris at Full Volume might not know someone mind, but he is more retail & sound service, which he's very reliable & straight up with.

    What JP said. ^

    Just whacking up speakers/monitors isn’t a good idea in such a big space.

    What you really need is the biggest boom box you can find, 80s style. Carry it around the skate park and leave it booming next to the ramps. A new location every day. Get some tapes and boom your away. Skatepark Look and sound all for under £50
