I am getting my PA an upgrade. I have a QSC QX5, 1000W (500 Each Side). I am using the build in cross-over, one channel with the lows powering my 1x18 Peavey Sub (400W continuous ). The other side (highs) powering two Carvin 1x12 with a horn, each rated at 300 W continuous .
When playing my iPOD even at SUPER high volume, everything sounds great. NO breakup. Even jamming SIR MIX ALOT and SEAL, both Bass heavy songs. However when I run a bass guitar direct or even with a mic, I get break up. Even a SUPER LOW volume. The 1x12 speakers have a crackle. What gives?? IS it a power issue? Not enough? I know it cannot be too much. It is not a gain issue. These speakers just do not like the signal. I think my cross over cuts things at 20-100Hz for the sub. 100hz to 20kHz goes to the 1x12.
Thanks
