[QUOTE="Theo Lebo, post: 13652, member: 10427"] Hi, I'm just a hobbyist. I want to make sure I don't damage my set-up. I don't really understand the intricacies of audio design whatsoever. 2 JBL SRX-712m's (rated for 800W at 8ohms I believe.) Which I am running with a Peavey IPR2 5000 (890W RMS x 2 at 8 ohms) (I'm assuming the x2 is for use with two speakers?) I am using a cheap behringer mixer. I want to make sure that I don't damage the speakers or the amplifier. The Peavey has two knobs that go from, bottom to top, "Active, Signal, DDT, Temp, DC". 1) Which marking should I be wary of hitting? /Should I disregard the red zone on the mixer? 2) What's more likely to happen--amplifier or speakers breaking? 3) Is there anything in general I should be aware of to get the best use out of this system? (e.g power conditioner or something? I always use a surge protector. But sometimes I plug other stuff into the same strip. In general, I have really liked these speakers. They are great for house parties and can fill quite a large space and they sound crystal clear. I may want to ramp up their use though, for private events, weddings, shows, etc. Thanks [/QUOTE]
