Would it fill say a small gym, elementary size with good loud sound? Looking for something for a zumba class.

Michelle... I have both the Kicker 501 and this one, which is basically the same but wireless. The 501 has slightly more full sound because it doesn't lose any sound quality from the wireless it seems. Don't get me wrong, I shopped for a long time, listened to Bose (the standard bearer) and compared, and the Kickers blow away the competition. And as a bonus, they are generally less expensive. To answer your question more directly, yes. Both will do the job but if the wireless feature is not necessary I would save the money and go with the 501. Her are a couple ways to connect other devices besides an iPod or an iPhone, including an 3.5 mm earphone type jack, and a RCA connection. I hope this helps. Michelle...

Absolutely it would. I have it in my kitchen on top of the microwave and it kicks out the tunes through out our entire house. It is seriously the best box ive ever bought/ heard no joke. Our neighbor's get angry and tell us to turn it down all the time lol

Most definitely, yes. It fills my 5000 square foot shop with great sound. One of the best room filling speakers I've ever bought and I've owned the Bose, pioneer and klipsch.

If it is a standard size gym, I would say about 5 or 6 should be good. We ordered one and used it in our back room, which is 16 x 19, and it was more than enough. Works great too! Can't beat the price.

I'm not sure? I had the Zumba Gold and it is slower music and a slower pace. You could try them, I prefer the DVD's. Good Luck.

I have two set up on the stage where I teach Zumba (one on each end of the stage). The room is huge..will hold 200 people seated. The lights project out to cover about 1/2 or a little less of the room. The lights can be set up to pulsate with the beat of the music too f(but they have to be close enough to the speaker to pick up the "pulse" of the music. For the price, they are awesome!

I wouldn't suggest this for a small room it takes up quite a bit of space. I bought this for my son for Christmas and we sent it back we were both very disappointed with the quality and sound of this item. I'm my opinion save your money . Go to a local place and check them out for yourself .

I'm thinking boomy , though my idea of boomy or punchy could be different from your idea of boomy or punchy . Will easily fill a medium sized room with sound .

This is a great little unit for parties and even outside/garage get togethers, but I wuld get the next size up for a small gym. My preschool has one and it is AMAZING and not too much more in cost.

I think there will be better options....Smallish room it's fine...wide open or large rooms? Great sound, but with lots of people there I think it would be less than what would be ultimately needed.

questionable quality. Mine 'burnt out' when playing loud. Try something bigger and bulkier for a gym full of kids...

Probably not - you probably want something bigger for a pool party if the noise level is above medium ;)

Yes, it would be a great speaker for that application. I use it to play music from my iPhone all the time. Plug it into the wall, connect to your phone via Bluetooth and go. It's very simple. I move it room to room but usually have it in a 900 sq. ft. classroom. I can't imagine needing it to be any louder unless I were to use it outside. In that case, I will definitely buy a second one of these - you can pair your phone to one and pair the first speaker to a second via Bluetooth and have the entire thing set up wirelessly (other than power cables).

It's very difficult to answer that question. The variables of course are how large is the gym and how loud are the children. The unit is LOUD in an area measuring 36' X 26' but I can't simulate overpowering a group of loud kids.

Yes, it has a volume adjustment and can be quite loud in a smaller space like a classroom.

It depends of the size of the room if its a small place would be great but in a wide area i don't thing its going to work is has a great sound and powrfull but as i told you depend of the room

I also have a small space for this and it fits fine. If you have a place to put your bike then there is room for this trainer. I have no problems with noise and I ride watching T.V. and can hear at a normal sound. Hope this helps!

Yes it will work, but I doubt it will be loud enough for a classroom. I really would recommend something larger.

It gets pretty loud enough to hear outside of a room. But its loud for how small it is.
