Vivid use van den hull wiring throughout You can make the speakers quad active if you bypass the Xover and use an 8 wire speakon to directly access each driver , but vivid wont warrantee the speaker if you do so (very easy to mess up and blow drivers etc with DSP based x/over ) I have the speakers on Castors .. the xover box has provision for spiking if you want , I need it on castors so it doesnt drag if I move the speakers..I need to buy some more As to castors , VIVID themselves say it makes no difference if you spike the speakers , use the rubber feet or have em on castors .. so I am going to leave them on the $0.80c each "audiophile" Castors  |
Thanks. This is definitely a better design having the crossover external. Getting spades on their speakers has always been a challenge...
I hope you enjoy your new Giya's...
