Question

Post Body

Hi,

Cross post from R/DJ as I realized this might be a better source.

Im DJ’ing an outdoor event and need to rent a portable generator. I know nothing about generators.

What I’ll be running:

2 Bose L1 16 speakers - rated at 1250 watts each

1 Pioneer controller

Laptop

I called United Rentals and they have a 3 KW generator I can rent.

Is that good and all I need to know? A friend mentioned “sine wave generator” but I have no idea what that means.

I’ll be running an extension cord with surge protection on it….seems smart….otherwise, just plug my shit in and play?

Thank you!
