amp is hot!!!! Help!!!!

Albert, Is there another way to wire in the eq w/out a direct line out to the amp? In other words, can I loop the eq in the preamp without hooking into the main channel preouts??? Thanks in advance, Ricky Hunter rchah@pacbell.net

Yes, you can route the EQ through the tape monitor of the preamp instead of running the preamp into the eq and then into the amp. No matter where you put the EQ at within the system wiring though, the end result will be the same. You either need more efficient speakers that have a tonal balance that suits your needs or a LOT more amplifier than what you currently have. Sean >

Sean has hit it, the same point I was making. The issue is not the place in the system the EQ resides, but rather the fact that the equalizer has a huge effect on the power required to drive your speakers. You are not necessarily doing wrong, but it would be better if you achieved good tonal balance by equipment selection and tweaks. The end result would be cleaner, lower distortion, and less fatiguing than with the EQ added to the signal path.
