I decided to use a Pac LC-1 just in case i need to turn the bass down or in case i need to roll in slow. At 18v, @.35 ohms, i might need to roll in.
I also decided i needed a kill switch to shut the bass amps off in case well, they need to be shut off. LOL. It will be nice to have if the 9.0k's go into protect. I can reset them a lot faster this way. I would put it up top but i ran out of room. I could put it next to the knob but the knob is in the center.....which means this thing would have to be to the right or left and make it look crooked. So the side was what i decided on.
good news! i made the tripod work! bad news...i owe the wife a tripod. LOL
that's all for now! With the source unit, 4 channel, electrical, cooling fans, podium and all that stuff finished, i can move forward to the cabin and work on the mids and highs. Then some acoustics...try to gain some DB. This is one milestone i NEEDED to finish to move forward!
