No problem. just bought it and a pair of thump 15s what cables are best. and we want to play our accoustic gigs through this and dont know how to set eq i know its different each room but a starting point.

Use balanced lines for the audio interconnects. Use XLR low noise mic cables or TRS type cables. IMPORTANT: Power the speakers and the mixer from the SAME receptacle, even if it means running extension cords. Ground bounce in building wiring can destroy the circuits in the equipment.

RADIO CUTS OFF WHEN VOLUME IS TURNED UP

It could be your wiring as well. Sometimes, when speaker wire gets cut and grounded, like your factory wiring to your door speakers or you tap into facrotry speaker wires to add more, the load on your deck increases. When the volume gets to a certain level, it will cut off because of the heat produced to maintain the load.

My high end stopped working in both my speakers

First thing is to run a known signal from a simple device like a small CD player to verify the problem.

If these are driven from a mixer, the EQ could be set to kill the highs.

Assuming it isn, something simple like an EQ setting, probably the units will have to be serviced. I know you would already have checked the EQ on the back of these things as a first step.

Remember to ALWAYS power these from the same source as the devices connected to them to avoid ground loops and damage.

Supersonic feedback can fry these. Oscillations higher pitch than you can hear can put too much power into the tweeters of these.
