• Perfect for spot performances

  
  As reviewed by Eric Talerico on 8/8/2011

  I've been using a Fender Passport as a traveling rig for a long time now. I recently upgraded to the newer model. Here's the thing: as a standalone PA system, its perfect for a solo acoustic act playing small venues. It is perfect for coffee houses, art galleries and street gigs. If you are playing a larger venue, consider using the Passport with a mixer and a line out to the house speakers. You can use the Passport for onstage monitoring to excellent effect! I supplement my rig with an external micro-mixer played through one of the stereo channels. At the input level, I compress my voice and guitar signals to maximize bandwidth. My sound is always crystal clear, and the portability of these units can't be beat. If you are playing a large venue with no house system, consider buying a second unit, or one of the larger models to supplement the P150. If you take the time to learn how to use it properly, a Fender Passport could be the best buy you ever make.

• Great for small and medium sized venues (Add a subwoofer)

  
  As reviewed by Jermaine Clark on 6/20/2011

  I purchased the 150 a year or so ago and it works great. the buttoms have not fallen off and I have not blown the tweeters. No electronic equipment is safe around novice users and/or children or people who do not take care of it. With that being said, having 6" woofers, you do not get club bass. You need to add a subwoofer for that. this one does not come witha sub out jack like the 300 and 500. So, I had my music source routed to a powered subwoofer, out the subwoofer into the Line inputs of the 150 and it sounds great. I have Deejayed several medium sized venues and have on ocassion been asked to turn it down because it was so loud. I am stepping up to the 300/500 to host larger venues, but the 150 will never leave my arsenal.

• Very terrible

  
  As reviewed by Bryce on 1/15/2010

  This isn't a very good portable PA system. Its okay for the really small things but it really can't handle much. I used one before and I was careful with it. Beware it is not that foolproof. My school has/had one of these and oh how they sucked with it. They always blasted it on max, didn't know how to use it properly. So now whenever they use it the tweeters are all blown on both speakers. I would say stay away from any fender speakers, the guitars/basses are better.
