We have a PA system shared by three bands, with some cross pollination of players. Currently using a pair of Yorkville Pulse 12 inch with horns on stands.
We've just been given a pair of older passive EV ETX Subwoofers which have the hole in the top for a pole mount for the Pulse. Very nice. One catch.
The previous owner decided to use them as subs for their home stereo system which entailed ripping out the speakon connectors and then just twisting their speaker cable onto the two wires to the ETX Speaker.
The panels are there but the speakons are gone leaving the round holes. A new set of female speakons are on order.
Now the questions
1) There doesn't appear to be a cross over board inside the cabinets. Do we need one? Seems strange not to send the higher ranges to the 12 inch and horn and then the lower frequencies to the subs? We've never had subs before. We're running a small rack with Peavey monobloc and Traynor Monobloc for the mains and monitors along with two EQ,s and gated compression unit.
2) The speakons come with four terminals. I've never wired one before. There are two holes on each panel to daisy chain and we want to keep that feature so we'll be installing four female speakon connectors. Any clues/wiring diagrams available. Just started looking.
Thanks in advance.
