Question 1 – What is the Budget?
Question 2 – How large is the gym … is it small with 1 basketball court and bleachers or is it massive with multiple courts and a track?
Question 3 – Is it a permanent installation or is it something that has to be stored when not in use?
Question 4 – What will be the primary application? Will it be used for announcements, etc., or will you need it to put on musical production (e.g., school band, battle of the bands, etc.)For example, if it is a small gym, you are on a budget and the system has to be stored between uses you could get by (these are only examples) with 2 Peavey cabinets with a 15 and a horn in each, the poles to support them, a QSC stereo amp at 200W per, a 4 channel Mackie mixing board (actually, 4 XLR inputs), 2 Shure SM58 microphones and the associated cables and mic stands, speaker cables and other assorted cables and power lines and maybe a DJ type CD player for good measure. For a system like this you are looking at less than 2 grand.
A system like this will serve you well for announcements (and maybe playing some background music if you buy a CD player) and it will allow you some flexibility if you find you need to expand the system for other applications.
Rutgers has a great permanent installation in one of their weight lifting rooms. The room is block, mirror and hard wood with very high ceilings. The cabinets (multiple) are mounted from the truss work in the ceiling via chain facing down and the system is used for music. Surprisingly, it sounds really good.
