So, I'm nickle and diming my way into a new PA system for my band. We're still pretty small-time, at the moment. But, as I have taken it upon myself to handle the PA system, our preparedness is kinda flying all over the place. Currently, I have in my possession: 1x Yamaha EMX312SC Powered Mixer, with two 300 watt amps 2x Carvin 1584 Passive Speakers, two-way including a 15" and 8" driver, rated at 400w/8ohm, to be used as mains (they're big) 1x Peavey M112 Floor Monitor, 15" inch driver and 3" tweeter, rated at 65w/8ohm, to be followed by any monitors my bandmates happen to add on (unlikely) I have some concerns about scaling power, and was curious if someone here could just take me on another crash course through how power is divided in series and what to watch out for. Obviously, at this moment, if I were to run the monitor, I would have to keep it on its own individual chain and run things very low to avoid blowing the coil. However, 300 watts split between two towers rated at 400 watts peak doesn't seem like it would put out very much, so I would have to forgo the monitor and amplify each Carvin individually. 300 watts may be overkill, if I'm not mistaken, unless we are playing a larger venue or outside. But, I also don't want to undercut the amplifier, itself. There is a strong possibility I may try to trade either the mixer or the speakers with my bar (not a venue, just a donor setup for public address), which I believe is made up of a Yamaha mixer, QSC power amplifier of unknown wattage and a pair of TOA 380SEs. Bottom line, if anyone could help me to put the pieces together in my head to just confirm that I am going in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. E: bar speakers identified as 1980’s TOA 380SE, intended for electronic music reproduction with full-range, 3-way and bi-amp options, 360w/8ohms, 15” driver and horn.
