Will I blow my speakers?
« on: September 12, 2007, 07:54:09 PM »

Question, am I heading for danger blowing up my speaker?

I guy wants to buy my amps I have been using the low cut feature on them, now I have to use my PLX and I have a mono Crossover with one input and 1 high out and one low out. Its a Rolls Mini crossover.

I set my mixer on mono, come out on left side to rolls and into crossover I have 1 input to put in the hight and 1 for the lows, should I bridge the amp and just control out put using crossover and keep amp output at 12'oclock, will a blow my speakers up I have 200 watt EV's on top and 600 watt Ev bottoms

I would use a normal X-over but cant get it in the amp case.

What should I do?

You really need to learn how to ask a question properly.  Who/what is "I guy"?  Your PLX amps have a low cut on them-so I have no idea what you are talking about Confused

I have never seen a crossover with a "hight" and low INPUT, those are normally outputs, but who know in your world? Shocked

For the billionth time (or more), the level control on the amplifier have NOTHING to do with the output power an amplifier is cabible of delivering.  They ONLY control how much level is needed to get to that output!

And read a little bit here and you will find that what determines loudspeaker damage is a combination of power, crest factor of the material, compression-which relates to crest factor, impedance and so forth.

There is no way to insure that you don't damage your loudspeakers, except running them at low levels and bringing more gear for the gig.

Well thats not nice Evan. What everyone is trying to tell
you is work on your skills.

#1 What kind of show's are you doing with your little 200w
Ev's with a 600W sub?

2# You can't learn the ropes with out burning a few coils
right Evan.

3# Keep the rig out of the red and listen for warning noise
IE the Fart's, pops,and squeals. None of these are technical
term's but I think you understand what I am saying.

#4 Look for a mentor all the question's and answers here aren't
going to sink in like your church,school,or theaters tech's.

Good luck,

Nate

I think the cure for your problem would be to buy some trains and sell the sound equipment. It's a much more relaxing hobby and all have to know is how to put the train back on the track. Smile

He would probably plug in the power cord backwards, and buy the wrong gauge track.
