Its friday and I am already setup at my venue with the new drive rack PA+. I have 250 people hear tomorrow at 5pm for NYE. My setup includes 2 Behringer b215d powered mains and 4 25" lab12 loaded T39 BFM cabs v-plated and corner loaded powered from a behringer ep4000. I need the T39's crossed over from 40-100hz with no more than a 50 volt input voltage and the b215d mains crossed over at 100hz and up. I am sure I have the x-over point set right but am unsure about the 50vac limiter. I also did the auto EQ and it made it sound way worse. I lost all but a very little of my bass from the t39's so I set it back to were it was. With the set up back to original all of my bass came back. music ranges from oldies to hip hop, Rap. Due to the setup my mains are 10ft infront of my subs along the two walls facing the dance floor. I did set the time alignment for the correct footage but have very little bass on the dance floor. 10ft out from the corner I am knocking drop tiles from the celing but in the sweet spot the bass is gone. I have played with my sub placement and have moved them 7 times to try and get a better sound from them but to no avail. I took the PA+ out of the chain and ran both stack's from the mixer(behringer vmx1000usb) and it sounds great. Bass will rattle your guts in the sweet spot on the dance floor when bypassing the PA+. If I have left out any info please let me know and I will fill in any info needed. Can SOMEONE PLEASE HELP. Thanks (this is my first post to this board. lol)

    You came to the right place.. BUT you will need to do the work yourself...

    ALL the the information is right here, you just missed it. Front page "READ ME FIRST BEFORE POSTING"
    viewforum.php?f=61

    Then we get more specific...
    viewforum.php?f=60

    Hint, Turn the delay OFF you have NO idea what the correct delay is...

    How much power do you have for the different elements? It makes a difference in the HPF, Xover point and slope...

    Start out at the 100hz xover like you said try LR24 filters set the HPF @BW18. You built the cabs? I have built over a dozen LABsubs... the real deal. Looks to me like you have way more LF then MF/HF output potential.

    Use the setup and gain structure in the START HERE thread, and report back.
