I have a pair of JBL pro G730 & Crown XLS 602 amplifier. Can someone guide me how to connect these and the position of the switches as there are no labels on them. Thanks .

There are 4 Speakon terminals and 2 switches on the back panel of the speakers.

In the USA, JBL G730 cabinets come with 1/4" connectors instead of Speakons normally. Either way, the switch on the rear of the cabinet on the crossover is a pad for the horn which lowers it's output. Normal is the middle position, upper the horn is louder, lower the horn is softer

SOURCE: How do I connect my behringer mixer desk to

The first thing to do is to swap teh L & R INPUTS to the amplifier. Did the speaker that works change?
If som the problem is with the setting of the mixer deck. If it did not change, then the problem is with your speaker wiring of the dead speaker, the speaker itself, or that side of the amp.
If the working speaker did swap, that means problem is with the mixer. The question then becomes how are you connecting to the mixer. You should be using TRS 1/4 inch connectors or preferably XLR from the MAIN outputs. These are balanced outputs connections.
If the inputs are from one of the mono inputs, the PAN control for that channel will control how much goes to each speaker... If at center, both will get same signal.
There are so many possibilities that I can't evaluate them until you try the test to find if it is problem of the amp or the mixer that I have given you to try.

Unless you abused the cable badly, this is UNLIKELY. More probable is failure of the amplifier.

SOURCE: Can I hook up 2 separate power amps to PMP3000? I

Better way... Connect the main speakers via the Speakons and then put a Power Subwoofer to one of the Monitor connections IF you are not using both stage monitors. If you need to kill the lows to the mains, use the EQ in the PMP-3000.

Use the EQ that is USUALLY on the subwoofer to kill the highs to the sub.

Lot less cables and hardware.

REMEMBER for equipment safety, power ALL interconnected equipment from the same source be it a receptacle or power distribution system.

Powering parts of a system from receptacles strewn around a room is asking for trouble of ground loops and ground faults.

SOURCE: hi i have 2x ev sx300 speakers (speakon) and 2x

Yes, you can put two 8 ohm speakers daisy chain per side MAX. The Speakon should have ONLY two wires on the +1 and -1 terminals unless you are using bridged mode which is NOT applicable in your configuration of speakers. Also be careful is you use any 1/4 inch speaker plugs in the sytem as the SLEEVE, not the TIP of channel A is the "hot" lead... get this to ground someplace and goodbye amp.

SOURCE: i have 2 x jbl

In spite of your description it is not quite clear of the connections... In general you should limit the number of speakers connected to an amp output to a maximum of two. I am not sure if you might have more than that in your daisy chain. Let's go over another important thing: are ALL of the amps and the mixer (desk?) powered from the SAME receptacle or power conditioning module? If not, make it so even if you have to run extension cords. The ground bounce of building power at venues can destroy your equipment. The brand/model of the amp(s) and the mixer would be useful to analyzing the problem. It is unlikely the failing battery in a guitar would kill one side of the PA. If the amp is overloaded, the thermal cutout may be disabling part of the amp and the system. Also please verify the RMS capability of your amp. You want the power of the amp to NOT exceed the rating of the speakers USE RMS VALUES... not the fakey "program" or "peak" ratings... those are just advertising gimmiks to show my numbers are bigger than yours... we know that game...

How can I connect my Peavey xr600 mixer amp to my Behringer Super-x Pro cx2310 crossover?

That depends on what you want to end up doing. You will end up patching into/out of the jacks on the front. You do not come out of the jacks on the back to the crossover.

Have a xga 4000 amp only channel 2 works fine . Channel 1 very very low

Switch input connection pairs and if the 'fault' doesn't changes from one channel to the other it is almost certainly an amplifier or output fault.
Likewise switching the speakers. If after swapping the speaker connections the fault changes to the other speaker it is an amplifier fault. If not a speaker fault.

Distorted audio

Check the connections to the speaker(s) and make sure the connections are clean and sound first. If you are running in bridge mode, make sure the connections are correct- someone may have unplugged them.. Check to make sure input sensitivity is correct, and make sure mode is correct for your setup. and press rest button as a last resort.

Check external connections to make sure nothing is shorting, and also check to make sure any inputs are not shorted or broken, and any muting or monitor functions are switched off on the mixer. Also check any network connections to make sure they have not pulled apart in the keystone.

I dont know how to connect my gem sound trf152 speakers

Looks like it takes regular home theatre speaker wire. If this is a powered speaker (like a JBL eon g2), then all you need is a passive mixer, and connect the speakers to the mixer. If this is not a powered (amplified) speaker, then you will need an amplifier to boost the sound source and drive the speakers, so you would connect the mixer to the amplifier, then the amp outs to the speakers.

How do you "bridge" a d.j. 2 channel power amp? it

Very carefully... SInce the outputs are not specified as isolated, your speakers would be connected across the hots and the returns would be jumpered.
Then for the two inputs you would drive them balanced into the XLR connectors from a single balanced source and reverse pins 2 and 3 in ONE of the connectors of this Wye cable into one of the two inputs on the amp.

My crown amp (model xls 402) lost sound and the fault light came on

Chances are you have a failure in the final amp stage.

Check the voltage on the buss where the output transistors merge via the equalizing resistors. The voltage here should be very near zero.

Crown XLS402 amplifier will not work

It is probablly in protect mode due to a failure. This prevents blowing your speakers.

You will need to have or do servicing on it. First verify that you can unplug ALL INPUTS and that speakers are connected and problem of the protect LED exists. A bad input MIGHT be causing this due to a ground loop.

Make sure NONE of your speaker leads are grounded or shorted.
