They will probably never be "installed" per se. I will load them on a bus and drive out of town where i can make a lot of noise. generator power. perhaps the pawnee nat'l grasslands. where ever I can get away with it.. whaty would you do differently in a small cramped bar vs a concert hall? In regards to mixing boxes: it's what I've got!

ohh, i can't get some opinions without wasting folk's time! ok then quit wasting your own time by posting a callous reply.
Thanks to those who DID provide constructive suggestions! Unfortunately my advisor is on my ass to get some experimental results in the lab, so the experimental audio excursion will have to wait some time. I did pick up enough shielded/balanced cable, euroblock connectors, and TRS plugs to build cables to run from the driverack to my amps! One baby step at a time!
If you have enough cable, try a "quad" arrangement. 2 front, 2 rear. The effect outdoors can be very nice, since there's no mud from room resonances. Like wearing headphones, except they cover your entire body and are invisible.
Alternatively, if you have a Dolby Surround processor, try that, or maybe you can configure the Driverack to simulate one (rear = L-R plus a bunch of delay, 50 to 100 ms). (Or buy one on eBay for next to nothing if you can find one that's realistically priced.) On tracks with considerable out-of-phase content, this can be startlingly effective. For surround, the rear subs wouldn't do much, so I'd stick them up front, or feed them the same as the front subs.
Or, find some software that turns two into 4 channels and does interesting things. There's gotta be some app that can shift the sound field around, contract it to mono, expand it to enhanced stereo (something like Carver's Sonic Holography or Radio Shack's "Stereo-Wide"), maybe make it rotate.

You asked for advice. Then you say that you're just going to take them out of town and play with them in the country.
Have fun, and stop wasting our time.
I agree, been drinkin that Colorado Coolaid! I enjoy a "Banquet" now and again, but I don't "Drink an Drive".

If you are gonna use them outside simply place two subs up against each
other and place on high pac on one sub and place the tower high pac
on the other sub. Turn the outside cabinet toed "OUT"
The reason you want to do this is to avoid comb filter effects
Do this on each side
If you are outside you want to space the right and left at least 20ft
apart or more
