[QUOTE="George Brenner, post: 216890, member: 15729"] The most frequent issue when setting-up monitors this way is feedback. Typically, the EQ on monitors is set differently than on FOH speakers because they are aimed at microphones on stage. Frequencies that cause feedback are typically removed via a graphical or parametric EQ. Additionally, turning-up the FOH on your mixer, maybe because of the size of the room/crowd, also turns up the monitors causing feedback. To combat these issues you may be able to adjust both the EQ and volume of the monitor at the monitor itself (if they are powered speakers they typically have some basic 3-band EQ and gain/volume control). Another reason daisy chaining the monitors to the FOH speakers could be an issue is that the performers want a slightly different mix than the FOH -- a "little more me" or a "little more of my instrument" or remove drums (if you're mic-ing them) -- but it sounds like your group may have already considered this.
