Hey Lonnie, i've never heard of doing this.  I've got a Studiomaster 16x2 board which has two sets of effects in/out jacks, obviously allowing me to have two sets of FX.  Further I can set FX for each channel seperately.  I'm not sure i understand the benefit of patching the FX directly into a channel.  Would there be an advantage in my case or is that setup mainly for PA systems?

Thanks for all your help.  I hooked up the sub yesterday per Lonnie instruction.  The difference was enormous .  My wife can't be happier, and there's no need to upgrade the S115V IMO.



Skipper,

I just post another thread on the M-Player yesterday, "My new..... M-Player".  I am very happy with the machine.  I play DVD karaoke so far, and haven't tried CDG yet.  I brought a CDG disc with me on biz trip last week.  The technical guy there converted to what-ever format, my bad... I didn't ask, and it worked perfectly.  Their website:  www.baytechlive.com/viv/

I found out I paid more than the price in their website  :( ... maybe I bought it with the biggest HD.

The advantage of patching the effects back into a channel instead of the efx return are basically eq option for the effect, ability to send it to the monitor if needed, can do a layer effect or run 1 effect into another (if you run multiple effects) for a serial effect patch.  Only thing you have to be aware of is not to try to send - via the effects send - a signal BACK to itself.
Also it's obviously dependent on whether you have the extra channels available as well, if not, then patch them back through the efx return.

I use Crown XLS602 to drive my new JBL JRX118s.  Amp rated 600W RMS to 4 ohm (per channel) or 1680W bridged.  JBL, 4-ohm 350W RMS and 1400W peak, recommends 350-700W amp.  Can I damage the sub doing bridge?  Do I gain anything in basement karaoke?

With those specs, there is no need to bridge the amp.  You would seriously overdrive the speaker.
