Can p16s run a powered floor wedge or are they just for inear systems?

I don't know anything about this specific device.
However, if it has an analog output, then it should be able to be a source for a wedge too. I would not expect it to drive a speaker directly though. It will need an amplifier or a self powered speaker. You will also need appropriate adapter cords.

I think they have a balanced out.  It would work fine the problem is musicians will drive their monitors into feedback. 

They don't seem to understand the gain knobs go down to.  You end up with a muddied up mix of everything they keep turning up because they can't here anything!

It is technically possible and I've done it.

But as Scott mentioned I wouldn't let just anyone mix their own wedge unless I trusted him/her...

Unfortunately they do NOT have balanced outputs!  I checked into this last year when doing an install.  That being said, the output is a reasonably hefty line level and may be sufficient to drive an amplifier without any notable buzzes or hums.  In our case we ran lines about 50' unbalanced to a rack of IEM's in a back room, and it was okay.

Didn't God make transformers for this?

I would assume if you have a personal mixer it would be to a powered monitor.  That's what I get for assuming.

Sending the output back to the drive rack makes me double down on my comment.  At least with the powered speaker you have solid protection.  With a power amp destruction is only a twist away.
