I have a question regarding adding more speakers to your P.A.
right now my band is working with a powered mixer it has 8 channels and only allows four 1/4 inch outputs for speakers. we are already using 2 for stage speakers and 2 for monitors, we want more low end and want to add either two 1x18's or one 2x18 (powered or passive{would have its own amp}) to help with the bass guitar and kick drum. but how could we send a signal to those speakers? I read an article in the latest musicians friend magazine about adding powered sub where the process was- plug it directly into an auxilary out mut and then turn everything down for each channel except for the bass and kick drum (this is for a larger mixing board). our powered mixer does not have that feature. any ideas of how to send a signal with out damaging the speakers?
