my dad got some new stuff and gave me his old; how to get it all hooked up is where i need help. , , heavy stuff out of the way and no idea what to do. the power unit has copper wires coming out the back, and theres no way to connect those to the speakers, so can i just remove them? |

Those are pretty nice monitors, aren't they? |

did you fucking steal those or something? hah. just wondering... because you should have an owner manual with them mackies there... and they are self powered, so i HIGHLY suggest not hooking them up to an amp... the speakers are so heavy because they have a built-in amplifier! correct me if i'm wrong other peeps, but if you hook up a powered monitor to an amplifier, you could blow both of your amplifiers... right? |

If you hook up anything to an amp it could explode. But more than likely it will sound horrible even if he doesnt crank up the volume. |

Does he need just a preamp or a source with xlr outs? |
||||||||

you definately could have a blowout if you hook up speakers (with built in amps) to an external amplifier. Tread Lightly. |

just connect the speakers straight to your computer/mixer/etc. you'll be fine. we've got those monitors in our studios in college, but they do sound a bit "too nice" (to quote my lecturer). |
||||||||

|
so, amp is not needed? quoth; i wish i were crafty enough to steal monitors like these i'd do it all the time. but, no. i did not. |
