Hi Don,

A couple of things to bear in mind:

If you run speaker-level connections to the subs, it means you're also sending full range signals to the sides. Lexicon warns against doing this with bass enhance on, as it will route enormous amounts of LF, far more than the Tripoes are designed to handle.

To protect the drivers in the sides, you MUST high-pass the Lex side outs before they get to the amp. This means some kind of external crossover (if the Pinnacle have high-pass line level outs you can use those, but it means still another run of 50 ft. cable; alternatively you can get an external crossover (M&K makes a passive, perhpas Pinnacle makes one?).

Good luck,
Philip Brandes
