Another question; can you guys give an example of how electrical engineering can be applied to theatre?

Thank you all again for all your help! Its a hard time when you begin to question your goals in life, you guys really have helped me see more realistically. I really appreciate this board, you guys are great, from HS kids trying to find direction, to pro's looking for troubleshooting advise. You...

I didn't mention it earlier but my parents, did the Florida Pre-Paid college plan for me, so I have 60 credit hours (2 years) of any public university in FL paid for. By then I will be living on my own for some time and should qualify for some good grants from the government.

Thank you for your advise, I am leaning more towards electrical engineering. I'm going to do some more research on it, but I really think engineering is the way to go.

I love my math and science classes, I'm in trig and physics right now and I do very well. I just got 100% on a physics test that everyone else barley passed. I also understand that I'm going to have to work hard for everything to be the best and be successful. After a lot of consideration I've...

I get where your coming from, most of my knowledge is from me reading about things, and then applying them. I read books, study diagrams and drawings, or read online. I've had a lot of help from an engineer who works for disney, if I have any questions about electrical things, he is always a big...

Yeah, but I don't know a lot about it, what jobs are available, if I'll like it, etc...

Well I don't really have the money for a surge x, is this comparable: Tripp Lite ISOBAR12ULTRA 12 Outlets 3840 Joules 15' Cord Isobar Premium Rackmount Surge Suppressor - Newegg.com

I'm almost certain, they are 500 watt rms. Regardless I know they aren't the problem, I plugged the output from the amps into a pair that I know works, and I'm still not getting anything. I've narrowed the problem down to the amp. I'll try hooking up my backup amp tomorrow and seeing if that...

The two lower amps are Altec Lansing 9444 600 watt amps and the high end is a crown ce2000. The high amp powers a horn array in the cut, the mids come through the JBL's on stage and the lows go to 2 18" JBL Subs in the cut. I've been wanting to replace the horns upstairs with a smaller set of...

I didn't have time to check it out today, I'll try to get to it tomorrow

We have the amps on a fused power strip, but I don't know if that's as good as a power conditioner

In your opinion would you get a power conditioner installed anyway? We live in Florida and have lost some equipment due to lightning strikes.
