Hello Everybody! I just joined and a newbie in audio equipment. I am requesting help to set up my audio equipment. Here's my system : 1- Crown XTi2002 power amp (1) - to drive in stereo mode a set of speakers (Wharfedale EVP X215) 2- Cerwin Vega CV2800 power amp (1) - to drive in bridge mode one custom sub 3- Wharfedale EVPX 215 Speakers (1 pair) - 700watts RMS/channel at 4ohms, Freq: 40Hz - 20kHz 4- Custom Sub - 1200 watts RMS at 8ohms, Freq: 35-1500 Hz 5- DBx Driverack PA+ 6- DBx 231s Equalizer I have successfully wired all of above equipment but since I have no idea on the values I need to choose for cross over, compressor limiter, BW/LR types, etc., I need a step by step guide on how to set up properly my system. Here are some more information that I am requesting some clarifications and guidance : 1- I have no RTA mic and when I set up the driverack, I was only up to loading the new preset and not able to balance the sytem with pink noise, RTA mic, etc. How do I do this without RTA mic? FYI, both my tops and sub are not in the preset of driverack? Do I need to bother setting these up? 2- Since I have 231s equalizer, should I just leave "flat" the EQ's of Driverack and Crown amp? 3- I don't have any idea on BW or LR settings and I don't know what level of gains should I input in cross over feature setting of driverack. 4- Also don't have any idea on how to set the compressor and limiter features of the driverack. 5- I was told to hook up only to High and Low from driverack. How can I use the mid? Should I buy an additional amp and pair of speakers to do this? If so, what will be the recommended speaker assuming I will just get another XTi2002? I mean the power and frequency range. Or, is there any work around to have this feature with my current equipment's? 6- How do I optimize the powers of my system without clipping or blowing any speakers or amps? I mean from input (mixer) to output which I believe should have relationship on how to use the compressor and limiter functions of driverack. 7- I wish to have different setting for Outdoor and Indoor use. For Outdoor, I will use my custom sub which I prefer to be at Bridge Mode and driven by Cerwin Vega amp. For Indoor, for now, I plan not to use any Sub but just the 2 Wharfedale speakers. Sorry for these very basic questions to most of you here and please bear with me this time for my ignorance. Hope somebody can help me provide a detailed set up procedures designed for beginners. Thanks for your help. Rey
