Nice
what you use for wedges
( i only see subs and tops on your signature )
hey bruce according to some reading i have done here
you must avoid at all costs amp bridging
a spike can fry your sub drivers
But i think you have never experienced that
what you can say about the subject

I use Yamaha SM15V monitors. 15 and a horn. They sound good and have a lot of bottom end....they don't require a lot of EQ.
I bridge the 1500 for the subs - it's not a lot of overkill as it's only 1100 watts at 4 ohms....the subs can take 900 total, but I have 'em limited to 56 volts. I like the headroom. I tried the xti 2000 but the inputs were clipping, the 1500 doesn't. I've run the XLS series bridged for two years. As Bill says, only bridge when you can't get the voltage any other way. None of my amps will give me enough without bridging - so I bridge the smallest one to get what I need. I wouldn't bridge if I had an amp with more power, but this fits my needs just fine and it is ALWAYS limited.

I use a driverack if that's what you mean. I know the 2500 seems like a lot for the mains and it is....but, I was able to get it really cheap so I picked it up. Obviously, it just idles driving 4 OT12s.

(Speaker) Processor, common enough usage in BFM.
Mains = front of house, maybe a kiwiism?

Actually, mains refers to tops (that are FOH).....should have said it that way.
