I've recently got a couple of Gemini speakers (8ohm, 160W each) and a Gemini amp (xg2001 1000w, stereo 4-8ohm, mono bridged 8ohm min.)
I also have one 200w EV speaker, my problem is I don't know how to exactly wire the 3 speakers to maximize my spl.
My amp has got 8 connections, 4 red, 4 black. In two rows marked A and B.
A quick reply would be great cos I got to get these to work soon.
Thanks

Connect the Gemini speakers to the row marked A, and connect the EV to the B (one only).

Now you can choose which row to play - some amps allow you to play the 2 rows simultaneously by pressing both A and B (if there are buttons).

Does it matter about the + and -, when I connect the three speakers?
Thanks

Does it matter what way I connect the wires, i.e. + and - with the 3 speakers?
Thanks

YES! (+) on the amp should connect to (+) on speaker, and (-) on amp should connect to (-) on speaker. The speaker wires are usually marked

I'm aware of this setup, but the cable is unmarked on the amp side, just stripped bare?? And the other end of the cable has a plug for the speaker
What should I do?

That's chinese for me. If the wire has a marked side, use it for reference.
