Minirig Camping

This is a smaller approx 1000W system for events where MINIRIG V8 or  Urban Legend is overkill – house parties, small outdoor shows, chill zones etc.

This system can fit in a hatchback (with room for camping gear), and can run well from an inverter and batteries, as all amps are efficient Class D.

This has been evolving for a few years with various amps, crossovers  and speakers in play, the photo shows the state of the system as of Dec 2025.

Features as of December 2025:

  • 150W+150W of  Power Dynamics PDD500 Class D amplification driving Wharfedale Titan 8 passive satellite speakers.
  • Behringer NX3000 Class D amp, bridged mono driving two 16 ohm 12″ Lorantz bass speakers in parallel for about 700W, in sealed enclosures.
  • Crossover and EQ is a Symetrix 760 DSP processor, EQ tuned via measurement mic for an even response (the Wharfedale Titans a bit bright sounding without it), as well as managing the LF so the sealed bass enclosures work well.
  • Allen & Heath ZED6 mixer provides a simple and clean front end for DJs and performers to connect to. Was a Yamaha MG06 until Dec 2024
  • 1200W Pure Sine 12v->240vac inverter for when being run in “off-grid” mode

We still have the older Tripath HF amp and Behringer iNuke 1000 LF amps in reserve for a lower idle power and about t 700W max power for off grid use if needed.
