Jack are you in Leighton Shropshire? As I am based in Shrewsbury, just asking as we have a combination of HD15 speakers with MS18 cabs, there is a free party this weekend if you are interested and want to have a listen? BTW I love our HD15 cabs, we have 8 and in clusters of 4 stacked above subs they belt it out, it is like being slapped in the face! Here is a pic of half or our rig:
 Due to electricity limitations, we only take 2 subs, 2 kicks, 2 tops, and a monitor to our free partys, although you will be impressed by the amount of sound that those 6 speakers can produce front of house!

Also it make things much easier and faster to connect everything up if you label the ends of your cables with where they are supposed to go!

It's really not that difficult. You just need to think about breaking it down to your signal chain. It should run something like this. Source - Mixer - Active crossover - Amps - Speakers If you're starting from scratch with building your system. I would reccomend the Punisher & Xtro combo. I've got 4 Punishers and they pump. Haven't heard the xtro but apparently it's one of the best sounding tops available. |

Definitely. External crossover is pretty much required. You could try to make passive crossovers in the enclosures, but the components needed to make them capable of handling high powers won't save you any money and then you have 0 adjustment capabilities.

providing the subs are 8ohm... i'd go for an amp with 1000/1000 @8ohm. the little bit of head room will stop you trying to run the amp into clip and making it sound nasty.
matrix do a MF3000... its well worth the money as i have a few matrix amps now and i love them to bits! ..plus it'll weigh about 10kg at a push.

If it sounds like a gorilla is trying to escape, turn it down.
