TWIN 1515-66's? Who needs the PA when you ARE the PA? Curious about the speaker outs from the amps. The wiring looks odd...are you doing some hoodoo-voodoo to bridge the amps? Are the IPR amps "not bridgeable" officially but can be made to work? I like the homemade power cables and how you have the Furman brick mounted on the side. Wires nice and short with substantial power plugs. Nicely done.

Thanks, I enjoy putting gear together as much as playing. I guess it shows just building the enclosures in the first place.

The output voodoo; The Ampeg has a series wiring harness to the 4x 6's for 8 ohms. The IPR's have bridge cables (Ch A.1-, Ch B, 1+) inputs jumped. Nice catch.

It sounds like overkill, but tuned to E0 headroom is an issue.

Okay, what's firing where?!?! SVT driving the mids and IPR's driving the 15's?

Yes. Bridged 1600's into 4 ohm 2x15's. SVT7 into 4x6's @ 8 ohms via a series cable.

For splitting the signal, I jump rather than split. Just go from one place to the next.

That wasn't a typo, it was a screw up . I was thinking when I posted, and up until you called me on it, that + was the top left on the jack (wiring side). I built the cables correctly, wired it correctly, then thought about it wrong when I posted.

It's capable of keeping 2 half stack using guitards in their places - sort of a "mutually assured destruction" thing - hahaha!!!

No problem. I'll tell the screw up police what to do with themselves when they call me
