    Did you forget to get an amplifier?

    you connect your mixer to your amp and then from amp to the bass bin via the speakon cables

    My appologies!!!!
    Use a phono to Xlr lead to connect mixer to bin. Xlr to xlr lead to connect bin to top and link your 2 tops together with another Xlr lead.

    Ok from mixer youre going to IN on bin, OUT on bin goes to IN on one top and last lead from OUT on top that's connected to bin, go to IN on your 2nd Top, hope that helps. Let me know what the quality is like.

    its better practice to go xlr out of mixer if it has it into bin (both inputs) and then each output of the bin run xlr cable to top speakers

    I thought I saw only one output on the bin but if there's 2 definitely one to each top! Like said above :-)

    yeah from the pictures, it looks like it doesn't really matter what order you connect it. real shame that mixer has no balanced outs with xlr connectors. you'll need a phono to xlr lead too. master left / right out to your tops.. then i suppose all you can do is link the out of one of the tops to the sub, and wind down the high cut on the sub till it's how you like it. a summed mono send to the sub would be nicer, but you can have some fun with this setup if you don't push it to hard.

    red lights on gear like this really does mean warning!
