Hello to all, Im new to the forum and recently purchased a 223XL Crossover. Im new to the whole PA things so Im asking those who know.
I have a Mackie 2500 that im using to push two Peavey 215 cabs, and a
Mackie 1400 that im going to use to push two Peavey 118 subs bridged.
Should i set the 223 to stereo 2-way mode or mono 3-way mode? What is the difference between the two? Also, what about the mono/stero button on the rear, what shoyuld be set to depending on the mode?
help help...

    Based on your list, you'll be running 2-way with Low freq summed. This is a single split of the signal with stereo tops ad mono subs. Highs to the tops and lows to the subs. Set the x-over to about 100 hz and engage the 40 hz cut.
    3-way is used if you are bi-amping the tops (which you are not).

    Hope ths helps.

    Mode = Stereo (out)
    LF Sum = Summed (In)
    40hz cut = On ( Channel 1, actually both channels can be on, but it doesn't matter)
