Hello All,

Wayne's posts and helpful replies convinced me that my speaker build should be 3 Pi mains with flanking 3Pi subs. I'm working on the sub build first, and noticed that no crossovers arrived with the drivers for the subs. Research led me to believe that plate amps were of low quality, and I didn't think they'd sound good with my tube amp. Apparently active crossovers are the best option, and I got a deal on a demo model of the Rane 22S.

My next issue seems to be the balanced outputs of the Rane crossover. It looks like the easiest way to connect the balanced outputs of the Rane to my unbalanced Amp would be to have Blue Jeans Cable send me the correctly configured cables. Does anyone know if I should use #4 or #6 from the attachments?

Does this mean that I'll lose half my signal?

Confused,

DougM
