I don't know ur audio background nor u mine but it's a damn good conversation to have.

There is not a chance in hell I would hook that up to that amp.

First and foremost, what is your system set-up?

Why did u choose these mid bass speaks and horns?

Have u worked with a PA set up before?

The reason I ask is that Pro Audio is just that. Us average guys cannot just plug that shix in and hope for the best. Pros use this shix and unless u have a significant understanding about the complexities associated with PA audio equipment, I would not touch it with a 10 foot pole as it will suck.

There is a ton of knowledge that goes into PA setups so not knowing ur audio background, I would strongly urge against going blindly into it without a Pro analyzing your current set up, ur goals, and providing some significant guidance on how it can all come together.

So to answer your question based on the limited info I have, I would not hook that up to that amp nor would I ever run PA speaks in a 2 speaker 2 horn set up.

Just trying to help, cause man does this trial and error shix get expensive!!!!

The only reasonable way to wire that is a woofer and horn wired together on each channel. Gains and HPF setting is another topic. The real issue you are going to run into is that your horns will likely be louder than the midrange driver and sound too bright. Not sure what HU you have...you may be able to EQ some of that. It does get a little tricky with drivers and horns, much easier to wire up some coaxials!

I'm running a set of DD VO's and B3's in parallel (the VO's have tabs to run the B3's directly off them).

I pushing them with a Fosgate TM400x2 crossed at 100Hz (on the amp)

The horns do not overpower the mid's

It's the loudest and best setup for me that I've tried so far.

I'd recommend something with some thump in the lids to round it out though as you really have no lowend with this setup.

Also have diamond 4v2 and run each speaker off its own channel would that be better than 2v2
