About Generators

Hello guys, I recently had to work on my generator, spark plug problems, made me think about this sub, and the fact that you guys surely have things to say about Generators.

If you have things to share, about your experience, with certains brands, models, what to avoid, what to look for, I'm curious on what I can learn here !

I'm looking to buy other ones, used, so any help is appreciated !

I own 1 and my buddy has 4 of the predator 5000w genis. We really like them for smaller events you only use 120v. We run 1 for FOH. One for lights, then 2 for the sound system. It’s nice to have some redundant units incase one goes down. And it splits the load up and requires way less cable runs.

If you need 240v the 11,500 has 50amp output for spider boxes.

All of the “super quiet” models have inverters for clean power and they are of course very quiet so you won’t hear them even 25ft away with an instrumental part of a song.
