Hi All.

First time in.Great forum.But have to admit its a bit heavy for me to grasp at times.I need help setting up my system without frying it so any assistance would be great.

What i have.

Tops EV ZX5s
Freq range 41Hz - 20hz -3dB
Freq response 58Hz -15Hz -10dB
Hp freq 36 Hz
Rated Power 600w Cont 2400w peak
Lf power handling 500w 2000 peak
Hf power handling 40w 160 peak

Subs Ev tx1181
Freq range 45Hz - 700hz -3dB
Freq response 50Hz -160Hz -10dB
Hp freq 30 Hz
Rated Power 500w Cont 2000w peak

Each Speaker is powered in bridged mono by a Dynacord s1200 power amps at 1200w at 8omhs.

Is it possible to use to use this configuration in the Drpa using L=R high an low outputs on each amp.
Also what would be a safe Crossover setting.The system is used by a live six piece band.Any help on Auto Eq for this set up would be great too ie distance of rta mic,single or both stacks same time.

Cheers.
Ck

    So, you have 4 amps?

    " this configuration in the Drpa using L=R high an low outputs on each amp." I am confused. What are you saying?

    25' in front of one speaker stack. Mic on floor laying on towel, folded many times to make thick as possible. Mic pointed at stack. Turn off opposite stack.

    Basically is it safe to use an individual amp and speaker in each driverack output and what would be a good crossover freq.Attaching an image of set up sorry if i wreckin ur head.

    Could not open the doc. without permission.

    subs: 45hz BW18 - 100hz LR24
    tops: 100hz LR24

    PS - I was hoping you would see the typos you made and correct them. When someone has a typo when dealing with configurations and connections, it is hard to make a judgment.
    " L=R high an low outputs" reads as "L equals R high" and "an low outputs". 4 amps from 4 outputs implies you meant to say... "L & R, high and low outputs".

    Yes. The DR does not care or know if the amps are bridged, but you will have to balance the bands by ear (as always).
