Reply to Need help with a first budget set up

Alright, so if this thread needs to be moved or there is already a recent one with this information please take action accordingly.

So I am interested in being a DJ in college. I would start out by doing some house parties for free or very low charge just to get out there and actually do something. I have a few things I need help with...

I need to know how much I can get a good budget set up for and what it would include. I was believeing the following:

1) Laptop (already own, MacBook Pro)
2) 2 PA speakers (12" or 15"?)
3) Sub (active or passive with amp?)
4) DJ controller
5) Some cables
6) Headphones (already own, Pioneer HDJ-1500)

I'm brand new to DJing and I've just been messing around with Mixxxer on my laptop. I am really into car audio and some home audio, so it's not like I am brand new to the whole music/speakers thing haha. I just have a love for music and want to play some good tunes for other people.

Thanks for any help!
