This is a great starter video for DJ's. I've found that a lot of professionals in the DJ Biz. Do not know the difference between 2, 4, 8 Ohm. And how to pic amps and speakers that work well together, etc. Some have actually used a set of 8 Ohm subs with 4 Ohm subs on the same amp and wonder why it doesn't sound good. Maybe you could make a video on that too. Great Vid! Maybe you could do one on skirts for light truss valance rods too? I need affordable ideas for that.
yo homie ur vids are helping this novice....i been trying to evolve into putting on bigger shows and actually have begun this process...enter project x..working on #4..your knowledge is so valuable as well as vital if you take pride in the sound that reps ur gigs.so big props to you sir for helping us for free..may you remain blessed in all your endeavors..btw..xover before eq..or visa versa?...peace...dj p funk1
True... I use a Pioneer DJM800 for my radio mixing gigs, and a Numark USB Mixer for my smaller gigs. I got that Berhinger mixer as a summer beater, but didn't even make it through 1 full summer. lol
Hi! very helpful! need help... i use two speakers a Peavey PV 215 (3-way) and a Peavey PV 118 (subwoofer) both are passive speakers and both have built in passive crossover.

(I've a 2 channel, 2-way stereo Xover) How i need to set up the knobs in the Xover, and the settings needs to be the same in both channels?

Thats how I do mine,,,good job, and yes out of sync sucks, the best is mono, in my experiance, Time aligment is the best,,,My KV2 audio is that way, all built in. You will actully hear the difference,,,,,Hit me up sometime ill chat with ya somtime about it!!! Great video
Not sure if you guys gives a shit but if you are bored like me atm you can watch all of the latest series on InstaFlixxer. I've been watching with my girlfriend for the last days xD
I'm using a Technics SH1200 mixer with RCA style jacks then a RCA to XLR adapter type cord to go into the processor inputs. This doesn't seem to be working very well. However when plugged directly in to the amps I'm getting plenty of sound just not able to manage it very well. Do I need an analog to digital converter? I do have a newer style mixer on the way with XLR outputs.
hi thanks for ur video and a have a question, what of the 2 setup's do u recommend for the sufwafers the stereo mode or the mono(bridge) mode thanks for ur help
I'm setting up my first rig for home use. I'm using a Tpro Hybrid Amp/Preamp(Dj Or Home Amp) & a Harman Crown XLS1000 to run my mains. Any way, The Tpro preamp out is Left/right RCA Jacks, The XLS ins are RCA phonos & XLR. Witch one do I use to connect the preamp too? I'm asking before I spend 20$ on a RCA to XLR cable & blow the inputs on my XLS! THANKS IN ADVANCE for any help!!
Hi steward...thansk for your video...how will be the ideal setup for two xti 2000's and two jbl jrx115 and two peavey pr12 , running on one xti , and two 18" subs blackwidow running on the other one. Both are 8ohm should i daisychain to 4ohm? What will be the correct most powerfull setup and setting on the xti's ?Thanks...CARLOS, PR
Steward i need a diagram how to hook up my sonic maximizer with my crossover and 2 amps,1 for my highs and mids and 1 for my lows.do i come out the mixer into the maximizer first?
how do you connect the Amps together having only one output from the Mixer? Also, for Subs which would you say is better? Cerwin Vega jr. Earthquake or B-52 LX-18?
D.J Big Al from Dallas, just want to say thanks for the infor. I have a max BBE and to wax amps. Trying to Hook it all to, two 18" subs which have two subs inside and two highs with Twitter and two 15"
@DJSPIRITO20 IIRC all 4 speakers are all 8 ohms, and if I'm right the Crown's will run 4 ohm stereo. he shouldn't have a problem with clipping if he sets his gains & EQ's right.
I've found that the Berhinger VMX 1000 pots or (faders if you will) went bad on my mixer. I bought one of these for my small system and 3 faders went bad. Great mixer, can't beat the price but, it didn't last long. Have you or anyone else had this happen?
Hi there i am new to this and i am trying to get into this stuff but How do you hook a passive speakers up to your passive subwoofer do you connect your mixer to your amp and then from your amp to your passive speakers and then from there to your subwoofers is that how you hook them up
thanks for this video. is it possible to do me a drawing on how to connect a dj mixer to an equalier, to a crossover to 3 power amplifiers?. 1, for MIDS, 2 AMPS for BASS. which connectors do you recommend for this connection, thank you

I have 3 amps (power amp, mid, and low, plus a crossover... how would I link the amps? is it done about the same way as running the crossover in "mono" mode?
Thanks for your channel. I have a (2) Crown XLS 1000's for Left and Right. I also have a Crown XLS 402 for the Sub. Can you do a diagram on how to hook this up. I also have a DBx Compressor 266XL, BBE Crossover/ Sonic Maximizer.

Thx alot for da video, and yes i just purchase a BBE 882i and it made my system sound great, but im using qsc gx5 with pv115 and want to add subs thinking about purchasing pv118 but need to purchase another amp and a crossover. thx again
so i gotta question... in order to power 2 jbl jrx125s for mids and highs and two bass bottom EVs. i need a crossover to power the subs for bass only. but do i need an eq?
i live in a apargtment, can i just use one PA sub woofer and and 2 small 1000 watt speakers? also getting some mids nd horns/scoops in the mail. Also i will need cross over with my set up?
hi. i was gone away from djing for like 2 years and i forgot how to set it up.. i hooked it up before but forgot and my mixer only has a/v ports and i have an av port cable to the 3 dot connector thingy and my speakers only have the ports for the big headphone jack.. so what do i do??
Thanks for your channel. I have a mixer, equilizer, 1 amplifier, compressor/gate, crossover and sonic DBS. I need your help in the sequence I need to hook these up in. Thanks in advance man,
from the mixer you should go into the EQ then The crossover and into the amp (im not sure what the ART item is, tried looking for it but couldn't find it, get back to me if you need help.
I just want to say thanks, and will you please help me? I have a VMS 4.1 that I run XLR out of. It then goes into a dbx 215s. Would I hook a crossover in after that, or do I need to do something else? Please help, and I subbed you by the way. :)
hey so i canjust run a amp for tops and a and a amp for subs well the ep 4000 work for the jbls subs and wats the best way using one amp to set ur subs plz help?
Can you please tell me how to hookup a SKP VZ-6FX Mixer to a Crown LPS 2500 and to speakers because I'm going crazy!!! Can't figure it out and I've looked all over how to do this and gotten nowhere.
The Powered Mixer should have Main output, XLR, or other audio outputs then that will go to the crossover then to the amps for other speakers or even powered speakers
Im building a system lookin at buying a BBE sound processor I have a 3 way processor but Im thinking only using cross over as two way. I have a PV 2600 being repaired right Now I have a rockvill powering mids n highs and a sound town for my subs and I have 2active speakers not sure how to hook then up I was thinking through the ctossover but theere is a cross over in the rockville amp but something is not right Im thinking not enough power 5through mids n highs OIm not playing any where right now till I am confident with my sound! I had a snall set up in the army years ago all analog two gorgeous 3 way EV speakers but it was all german,
ur subs will always be 8ohm, unless u have dual subs, so wat u need to do is bridge ur amp to one speaker and from that speaker conect ur other sub. this will make a 4ohm load, of which the amp will give u its most power available
Yo Dude, I'm starting back up after 20+ years of inactive jamming (DJ24K) starting out with a cheap powered system 2 Harbinger V2115 active speakers ....1 Behringer EP4000 amp plus a Mackie ProFX v2 mixer as of now I dont have a sound (music ) because right now I am intimidated by some of the DJ mixers it just seem like so much you have to know well, I dont like playing nothing but R&B / Blues so it's playing music from my tablet.... tell me what you think
i agree with you .if you want great sound from your system you gotta shoot the lock off your wallet and invest into quality equiptment ,Master mr D ,rock on music for life.
If you are looking for a good amp thats cheap, Check out Seismic Audio they have awesome products i got my speakers and amp from them and its amazing !
you get what u pay for my friend had the samething hapen to his to him it wasent worth repair in it, if you go to a gear shop check out the more expesive brands check out how much better and sterior the nobs are good luck...

Hi, I was wondering.. I have a 3 channel crossover, is there a way of only using two channels without losing some of the sound?
how do you connect the Amps together having only one output from the Mixer? Also, for Subs which would you say is better? Cerwin Vega jr. Earthquake or B-52 LX-18?
if you have active spackers an you get a none-powered sub do u still need to run from the cross over into a high amp to your powered sprakers?
D.J Big Al from Dallas, just want to say thanks for the infor. I have a max BBE and to wax amps. Trying to Hook it all to, two 18" subs which have two subs inside and two highs with Twitter and two 15"

@DJSPIRITO20 IIRC all 4 speakers are all 8 ohms, and if I'm right the Crown's will run 4 ohm stereo. he shouldn't have a problem with clipping if he sets his gains & EQ's right.
Can I go from my rotary dj mixer directly into the Crown so the crown powers my hifi speakers?
