Hi everyone. New to the forum. I recently joined a small 3 piece band, I'm the bassist and newly appointed sound man. When I joined, I found the band to be using a behringer powered board, older peavey sp5 speakers, and daisy chaining monitors to a 2 ohm load, which I know is bad lol. Also they were using 20 gauge speaker cables for everything. Since joining, I have purchased some 14 gauge speaker cables for monitors. Money is tight, and equipment is still scarce. We are now running Mackie thump 15 for fronts, using the main line level outs on the board. The powered amp in the board isn't loud enough to run monitors, especially 4 of them running a 2 ohm load. Right now we have an older peavey m4000 power amp. I have a carvin 2015 eq. What i wonder, is can I use one side of the eq for the Mackie powered speakers, daisy chaining them, and then using the other side of the eq for a monitor send, splitting the input to the power amp, and then running a 4 ohm load per channel for the monitor? Eventually we are upgrading to powered monitors, but I have a gig coming up and need to know about this wiring option. Thanks!
