Good tips. thanks folks.

that's what I feared.... the soldering of the wires on to that small of a prong is a real bitch especially trying to get two on there. ugh. likely just going to end up building some splitter boxes.

I tried finding a straight answer for this with a google search and little clarity. I want to wire my titans so I can run two per channel on of my amp. I'm trying to wire the left speakon in the jack plate to the right speakon to allow the right speakon to be a parallel thru. Currently I have 1+/1- ...

that all of them would have the same exact electrical properties giving me a resistance of 2ohms across all three. ^This isn't right either. Three x 8 ohm drivers in parallel on one channel = 2.66 Ohms. 4 x 8 ohm drivers in parallel on one channel is 2 ohms... Whats your formula for that? I was tau...

Thanks for the responses everyone. For reference, if they were wired in series what would the voltage limits need to be set at in my scenario?

They are still in the mail. I plan to do this, I can always return the itechs if it seems to be a waste of money.

ok I'm following you there, but the root of my question is that by wiring the drivers into parallel, I drop their overall resistance. In doing so does this change the voltage at which they could be blown out?

I'm guessing the answer in now based on your analogy but just want to be sure.

Even though the resistance of the circuit is changing the voltage doesn't though? That's where I'm getting hung up.

So currently I'm running eminence 3015lf 8ohms drivers on a single channel meaning that when I test the voltage to set my limiters properly I use a speakon cable with open wires at one end, and run full strength signal through the mixer/processors/amp into the cable and test the wires with my VOM an...

So I'm at the point where my rig has been up and running for 9 months and it knocks hard and Ive made a big splash in the San Francisco electronic music community and starting to get bigger gigs with international touring acts, but I'm trying to tie up the loose ends and get rid of cheap shortcuts I...

Hope that helps.

massively. thank you!

Sweet, this just really cleared up a lot for me. I had no idea overeasy allowed me to surpass my limiter... I thought it was all rounding below the ceiling. This is very likely what led to the blown drivers because I noticed the driverack showing a clip light and dialed the limiters way back but the...

Thanks for the response bruce, a couple follow ups... There is no "over easy" on the limiter section - that's a compressor function....that tells me you don't have the limiters set properly. The limiters are not there as a tool to make the music sound better in any way shape or form...they...

So I've done a handful of gigs now with the newly built rig and feel like I just haven't quite found the sweet spot for this system. I'll admit right off the bat that while I've been running sound for many years I've never run something this large and haven't ever quite gotten a true handle on under...
