  1. Q is different from manufacturer to manufacturer but 90% of the time a higher Q means a wider boost(I have seen it reversed a few times). A Q of 1 is 99% of the time a boost or cut over 1 octave, a Q of 2 being 2 octaves and so on. At least that is how it is in the recording world Im a full time audio engineer.

  2. This was my old live sound setup. 2 cabs with two 18s a piece and then 2 cabs with a single 15 and a tweeter. we used a cheaper Behringer crossover that worked ok but i linked to one that has time alignment and Auto EQ both things I really wish we would have had.

    I ran this setup for 2-3 years and did 2 shows a month in front of 400-600 kids it kept up amazingly well, easily overpowered the bands and maintained great SQ. However we only occasionally played bass heavy music but I would be confident this would work VERY WELL for 300-500 people playing rap/dubstep. Your buddy could probably get away with just two 18s at first if he doesn't have the funds for the full setup right off the bat.
