[QUOTE="John Ford, post: 11293, member: 8175"] Hey folks, I was hoping y'all might be able to help me figure out how to set up a system. I know practically nothing--but I've been generously gifted 2 JBL SRX 712m's, and I want to make the most of them. Since I'm just a hobbyist, I really don't understand too much of the complicated stuff, but am interested in learning more. I'm not sure exactly what applications I'll use them for, but I am interested in maybe DJing some weddings, or putting on some back yard shows, maybe even doing some clubs or helping my friends' bands out. So, I bought a Peavey IPR2 5000 watt power amp (which gets 890W RMS a side) and bought a cheap mixer (some Behringer, not sure of the model) along with all the necessary cables. WOW! These speakers pack a serious punch--only thing is, since they are so small the bass seems a little lacking. Enter my friend who is selling his JBL JRX 118 (powered.) So I bought it from him cheap, figuring I can always sell it if it doesn't work out. Here's where you come in. 2 JBL SRX 712m's Peavey IPR2 5000watt power amp JBL JRX 118 (powered) ???? What is the best (efficient, less costly, quality) way to set it up so that the bass frequencies go to the sub and the rest go to the 712s? I'm wondering if I should sell the mixer and get a mixer with a built-in crossover, and if so, what kind of mixer? Or just get a cross-over, if so, what kind? Is there anything I'm totally missing here? Money isn't extremely tight, but I prefer a cost-sensitive solution.
