[/quote] I don't have any problems with him. Seemed like a good bloke on any interview i've seen of him. All the members seem alright to me. I just can't get into their music

I had a Big Twin II. It was huge sounding. It was a little too open sounding for my taste too. I am well aware that's a crappy description, but i really struggle to explain in words what it is i wasn't keen on. I also didn't need that much power. It was LOUD. So i moved that on and bought 2 TKS S112s. They are fantastic. I love the "natural" sound from these. They are quite "mid forward", but i guess that's just what i like. I've had them for years now. I also have had a Retro 210 in that time that i was fortunate enough to win in a raffle. Much more to my taste. I really, really liked that cab. Just not more than i liked my TKS. And my TKS offered better portability options.

The Foo's for me too. I like Dave Grohl. Always comes across really well. To be honest, so do the rest of the band. I'm just not a fan of the music, even though i'd really like to be!!

Thanks Phil. Lots to think about.

Thanks for the suggestions so far everyone. That crossover looks like it could be useful

That's fine. We already have one we can use. I just wasn't sure if i could do without it altogether. Next thing then.... What is the best way to connect the subs to the mixer, to make the most out of them?

I don't know if its a slave output as such. But yes, both are passive. L and R from mixer goes to the power amp. L and R from the power amp go to the tops "input". Each top also has an "output", and we feed from that, down to the subs

That's an option. How about if i ran the L and R to the tops as normal, and then linked the tops to the subs as we have, but let the tops power the subs. Is that an option? I haven't checked impedance's, and don't know how much that would effect the overall sound etc. As i said, i'm no expert!

Think this would be the right forum for this? Feel free to move. Currently we have a non powered desk (Yamaha MG16xu), powered by a Behringer iNuke, then this powers passive tops, that we link to subs underneath. The subs have a built in crossover in them. I've convinced the band to go for active tops, and as such we are looking at either RCF 322s (second hand) or some DB opera 12s, or some Alto TS 212s. My question is, what would be the best way to set this new system up? Because the tops will be powered, we obviously wont be running the power amp to them. So what would you do? Whats the best way to link everything? I'm not a expert on PA's so any advice is appreciated, even if you think it may be obvious. The mixer has 4 auxs' and 2 monitor outs. At the minute we run our monitors from the aux outs, so they can have individual mixes to them. So my thoughts were to run the tops as normal, then instead of linking the subs to them, run the subs from a aux via the power amp , and manually mix in the channels we want to come through them. Or would you still link the subs to the tops in series , and do away with the power amp?

I have experienced pain in my left hand through playing chords etc. Yes it does get better. If you're specifically talking about barre chords, make sure your thumb is anchored on the back of the neck, quite low, and so that it can pivot. Rather than clamped on like a capo. Don't know how helpful that explanation is?

Bass > Little Mark 2 > 2 X TKS S112s

Bit of a thread revival, sorry about that We are looking to buy some of the RCF ART 712-A. If we get them, could we potentially put kick and a little bit of bass through them? Or would we need subs too? We have subs, i'm just trying to work out what we need going forward. Thanks

Awesome. Congrats

Maple and Ebony for me too

[/quote] I'm sure you didn't mean this in any bad way, and i have no doubt Andy wont correct you, but trust me when i tell you Andy is no average hobbyist. Yes he makes the basses from his house, but it has no effect on the end quality of instrument produced. His bass surpassed most of the instruments I've ever played (including customs), and was only equal to a couple (A couple of Sei). Like i said, i'm sure you didn't mean this to be taken in a derogatory way, but i just wanted to point this out Cool build concept again Andy. Look forward to seeing the results

Have just completed a deal with Mick on a Trace Elliot. Super easy, no problems at all. Top bloke. Cheers Mick
