Ok Gadget this is the last time I will bother you I promise.

We are going with :
2 XTi 4000
2 XTi 6000
1 Peavey CS2000
2 Peavey SP118 subs
2 JBL SRX725 mains

Could you give me the setting/setup for this. I am taking your previous suggestion and bi amping the 725's with the 2 4000's on th mids and the Peavey on the horns. 2 6000's on the subs.

There are no settings in the Crown or DRPA+ for the subs so I would like you opinion as to settings and wether they should be in the DRPA+ or the amps.

Thank you VERY much !! Brian

Are you in a big hurry for this Brian? Reason I ask is I'm just leaving to do ultimate Ozzy tribute tonight and a wedding tomorrow...perhaps Dennis or Dra could step in I won't be back till Sunday night...

But hey.. it's really NOT a bother..

It's cool we play tomorrow night but I'll wing it. Safe trip. Brian

Go to the JBL professional site and look up "suppoprt", "Downloads", "tunings", and "SRX700 series" in that order...in the zip file locate the last file " SRX700 tunungs for dbx driverack PA vev..." open it and scroll down to the SRX725 W subs, there are the tunings.. you could also download the tunings into one of the amps and then just manually configure the others using those settings they provide for a single amp bi-amp...

Good luck, keep us informed.. I'm off to weddingsville

Well everything went real well. I put the settings for the 725's in the xti 4000's got the peavey sp118 numbers from peavey website for the xti 6000 settings and bam sounded pretty dang good. Those sp118's were thumping the heck out of that place. They belong to a memeber of the band. I have been looking at some JBL 118 or 218 subs. I ran the subs pretty easy because they weren't mine.

Got my patch panel made up and some 4 conductor speaker runs for the 725's.

I couldn't even get close to unity on the master, just way too loud! I had the 4000's and 6000's at about 75% and the Peavey CS2000 at about 50%. That seemed to take the harshess out of the tops and made the sound real nice. The amps kept the 2nd led on and flashed the 3rd every now and then.

Thanks for your help and feel fre to offer your opinions on anything.

The current "thing" is to tune the system to factory specs, and let the BE have access to the GEQ and nothing else.. It makes sense since the manufacturer has far more money to throw at tuning the speakers, (and a vested interest in making them sound as good as possible) and the equipment to do so...

The SP218's are about the best bang for the buck in 2x18" front loaded cabs. They use the same drivers as the QW subs and sound pretty good. Yorkville makes some subs that are a good buy also. I have the LABsubs which are a DIY sub and MAN do they rock! But are a difficult build and very large/heavy.

Glad we could help.
