Advice for DRPA+ for New Setup

tondy611

I'm new to livesound. Since my speakers are not selectable in the wizard, I’m looking for advice on Xover Frequency settings, filter type, slopes, Delay, and PEQ. I have a DriveRack PA+ and need a 2x4 Program. Please excuse my inexperience and I would really appreciate your help. Thank you in advance for any help!

hmmm so you have amps pretty much matched to the speakers... I would:
1. use the 100hz LPF LR24 for the subs, and set a 40-47.5 hz HPF using BW18 filter
2. use 100hz HPF LR24 for the tops...

Eq... no idea... no one is gonna have those speakers... I suggest an auto eq pass outdoors, away from all reflective surfaces with flat response and medium precision following the edicts here...
