iceman1575 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Anyone have any idea where I can find out about how large PA systems power multiple amplifiers? I'm going to be getting two XTi 4000's at 4 ohms (3200 watts apiece) along with a chosen mid/high amp (more than likely my current EP2500) and varying processing gear. Also, for the big guy, how you liking your XTi's, and what are you running them off of power wise? Single 20 amp circuit, multiple, etc. Help a follower/silver member out? Thanks to anyone that helps. Quote POTATO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) You use the xlr output on the amp and run it to the input on the next amp. The XTI's have a computer programed crossover and EQ. All you have to do is set them accordingly.

I've seen those giant twist-lock connectors used on bigger systems. Quote POTATO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 do you have a pic of said connector ? Are you referring to the speakon connector?

iceman1575 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 do you have a pic of said connector ? Are you referring to the speakon connector? No. If you look on most big setups, they have speakon-like twist-lock connectors for power, connection, etc. They're like 3-6 inches across. Quote POTATO!

Kasey Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I believe thats just a 30+ amp plug (30-50amp) Quote "Audio is not a hobby it's a lifestyle" _____________________________Refs_1_Refs_2_____________________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
