Leave the speakers to the amp hook the amp 1/4 inch jack or xlr to the sonic and from the sonic to xj controller. It will faten up the sound

You do not want to run your sound system through this. You'll lose the clarity. This should only be used when running a kick drum or bass through it for recording. The exciter on the highs is virtually nothing . It's not its strong suit. Where it shines is running a kick drum and bass for mastering purposes. Don't go with anything from BBE. They are even worse. Look up a good review on YouTube for how bad the BBEs are. I used to have one. They are awful

You would want to run the sound through this device before the amp. What I do is I have my mixer's left and right sent to input 1 and 2 and then send the outputs directly to the amp. Some people likely use the 2 processors as sends from their mixers, but I wanted to process the whole output instead of just one member of the band.

You should be able to if you have the power to push them I us them for my Dj set up and it brings out the Hi end but I have them on there own power amp.

JBL specifications are maximum amplifier power for the speaker at 150W and recommended power handling at 75W (peak of 300W). So, yes you should be fine with a 1000W or 1500W amplifier powering all six of the speakers since these speakers need to be run at 8 ohms. Note, I am assuming you are using a 2 channel home amplifier and have three speakers on each channel and when set to run at 8 ohms the amplifier will have a peak power of 200W for the 1000W unit and 300 for the 1500W unit. If you happen to mean a 1000W or 1500W receiver then just keep the maximum channel wattage to no more than 150W and you should be good. I personally run mine off of a Yamaha receiver that is rated at only 55W per channel and get great sound out of them.

I use this amp to DJ, and many times use it to power 2 large speakers 600w each and 2 small ones... no problem.I actually have 2 of these amps, and lost one and bought another one to replace it. I lost it due to putting something on top of it, and blocking the air. Burnt it up.Of course, to be sure you could just go with the 3000 W version of the same model. Pyle P3001AT 3000W Hybrid Pre Amplifier with AM/FM TunerThe display lights faded on me on one of the models, but it still works fine.

I don't know exactly. However, since it runs on it's own power, the ohmage shouldn't matter as you will just be taking a signal from your system and feeding it to the sub. Unless you are trying to put other speakers on top of this one and power those with this things amp, which I wouldn't do. There are better ways of powering multiple speakers. Hope that helps??...

Check the pre- amp output power level to be high enough for the minimum required input power level for the powered speakers. Should work.

Depends. What are the required watts for the speakers you are hooking up? The 120 is peak, so you don't want speakers that require more than that to work.

Hi,You would need to have an amplifier because this speaker does not have any built-in amplification, and the Art DJ II does not either.

For myself, Im not familiar with dj equipment. I would say, as long as your loudspeaker can handle the power you should be fine. Be aware, this unit has a high pitched hum to it hooked up when all volumes are down. Luckily the hum dies not go up with the volume so your music will drowned it out. They say its how the unit is hooked up but there are many reviewers that is experiencing the same thing. It doesn't either me that much but if your at a wedding with no music playing and the power on, it would be annoying to the customers. Something to consider. Btw, this unit IS powerful. It puts my 2 x 18" loudspeakers through a workout. For myself, Im not familiar with dj equipment. I would say, as long as your loudspeaker can handle the power you should be fine.

I believe you can use the input/thru XLR on this to pass back to an amp that powers the passive speakers. But this will NOT power your passives, if that's the question.

You haven't provided all the necessary information to receive a worthy answer. We understand you want to power a pair of dual 15" speakers at 8 Ohms, but that's all we know. Complete your research by finding out the power handling ability and capacity of the speakers. Then, look again at the outputs that the amp is capable of. Your answer is then looking right back at you.I assure you this: Relying upon a bunch of people you do not know for answers to questions like this is going to come at a cost. You have no idea that they know anything about which they speak.

the amp can only drive 1 pair of bose 151/251/ etcc , splitting it out will decrease output to other speakers

You can use powered speakers but MAKE SURE YOU USE THE UNPOWERED MAIN OUTPUTS. If you don't you could blow your speakers. The powered outputs are the speakon cable outputs on the back. On the top right if the board you will see main out left and right. Those outputs are unpowered and able to work with powered speakers. You are safe to run powered speakers out if any output except for the speakon cable outputs on the back. You will need 1/4 inch cable...not xlr.

This amp uses line level input which is 1.7Vpp nominal. The same signal that your home stereo CD player would output(as an example. You cannot connect the input of this amp to the speaker terminals of your device. The amp would be damaged from the power level out put of the speaker terminals. If you must use the speaker of your existing system to power this amp you must get a SPEAKER LEVEL-ATTENUATOR/MATCHING device. This will convert the 8ohm speaker impedance to 10K ohms and the provide limiting so that the output would not exceed 2vpp. You can et such devices on Amazon and they are not expensive.

run an unpowered signal (Main output/ Aux output, etc) via 1/4" plug or 3-pin balanced "Mic" cable. 1/4 plugs into middle of 3-pin input. DO NOT run a powered signal into unit! It will split low end to main sub speaker, then send rest of signal to onboard power amps (2 passive spkrs can be plugged into unit and used as mains for small room or to power monitors- pretty neat setup, although only 150watts, used correctly the sub can be a self contained power setup.).

yes this will power a pair of 15 inch drivers mine are yamaha s115v club series. be careful if using quarter inch cables as they tend to arc as with all 15 inch speaker cables if you're speakers support them I would buy a pair of quarter inch to speak on speaker cables
