Figuring out my inheratance

Hi, I have recently inherited a PA, that's been put together with bits and pieces over the last few years.
We are a church that has a capacity of 350 max, we have a FOH system, and another system for the music pitt. I am trying to figure out the xover point for the music pitt section only.
the specs are; Berhinger DDX3216 digital mixer. (all faders work, except for the main fader :?:)
1 x SLA2 amp
2 x RAMSA 2channel WP-400 power amps
2 x P-Audio co-axial vox fold backs. (specs; P-audio compression driver, BM-D450. P-audio woofer, BM15CXHA) 300watt
We have two more fold backs, but I am still trying to figure out what they are.
I tried to set it up in the wizard, biamped it was too harsh and zero warmth or body.
I also tried it in passive. It was too boxy and hardly any tops.
I would appreciate any help.

Remember, the BMD driver is more than 10db louder with the same power as the woofer so you will need to TURN THE BMD down... in other words, you will need to use the amp controls (in bi-amp mode) to balance the sound from the woofer and horn...This would make the speaker sound harsh.
Do yourself a favor and read the READ ME FIRST BEFORE POSTING section...it has tons of great info on the driverack...

I did what you suggested, and I noticed a great change, however there was still some \"boxy\" sound in it. I panned to each speaker and one sounded so nice, great bottoms and ambient tops. I panned to the other speaker and realised it was broken.
I didn't blow the speaker from changing the xover point, it was blown before that. That was the reason why I wanted to change the xover point, but failed to realise the speaker had blown. (with the new xover point, the vox foldback that works, sounds SO much better.)
So my question is I know this may be the wrong forum to ask this, but you mentioned that you are a P audio dealer. I live in Sydney, do you know where I could get it repaired, or buy a replacement?
I'm really new at this, and I appreciate any help. :oops:
