Can you guys give me some crossover recommendations for this system or any other setting I may need in the DRPA+ for this setup? I surely would appreciate the help!

Peavey PV14 Mixer
DriveRack PA+
Peavey PV2600 - Peavey SP3 (2)
Peavey 4080HZ - Peavey SP118 (2)

I realize I am under powered on the tops but unfortunately we must start out with this way.

    New to the Driverack platform? Do you have a measurement mic?
    Have you visited the "READ ME FIRST BEFORE POSTING" section?
    May I suggest the "start here" thread...
    then ask your questions...

    Yes I am fairly new to the DriveRack Platform (couple of weeks)
    I do have the RTA mic, I read through the Start Here and FAQ forums.
    I have been reading articles in this forum for a few months now…

    I have a pretty good idea from the post that I’ve read in these forums. I would just like to get a good professional opinion on the settings in the DriveRack since the CS4080 and SP118’s are not in the options.

    Hmmm If you had actually read the stuff you'd know it's no big deal that there isn't a preset for those pieces...
    viewtopic.php?f=60&t=1196
    and that the gain structure will set the amps input sensitivity...the only thing you need to do then is decide what LPF, and HPF to use for the boxes.

    Ya, I know... it's a lot to look through and a daunting task to try and assimilate it all..

    But in the interest of moving this along ...since you have limited power, and the PV series would seem to NOT be 2 ohm stereo OR 4 ohm bridged capable.. your actually more limited top end wise...geez... neither are is the 4080...hmmm

    Well, I guess I'd set these parameters then...
    HPF 45hz BW18
    LPF 120hz LR24
    subs
    HPF 120hz LR24
    tops
    Do your gain structure and then try the measurement mic in a few different places and see what results you get...then ask any further questions...

    I assure you I have read most of these articles multiple times Viking!

    These were my settings:

    Subs
    HPF 40hz BW18
    LPF 100hz LR24

    Tops
    HPF 100hz LR24

    I see you have them crossed @ 120hz I assume for lack of power on the tops?

    Yes that was the reason...

    Good luck with the Colts.. your gonna need it...
