This is usually what I bring when I do large or outdoor events.

Four folded horns and my 4 way tops. And yes I do run it set up like that most of the time. Sometimes I corner load the bass stack and put the tops on a stage or a stand.

Define what you mean by "4 way tops"?
Are you referring to a 4 way electronic crossover feeding four amps to run the tops i.e. 4 cables going in? Or is it a passive network inside separating the frequencies?
Or other?
 
The tops consist of a 15" coaxial driver a 12" mid range driver and a supertweeter. The coaxial driver looks like this Mine has no crossover on the back. Inside the box it has a passive crossover.

I can run two amps to the tops (one feeding the woofer and the other running the mids and higs) and the subs have their own amps.

So the tops have 4 drivers hence 4 way.

OK I understand now. You are using the tops as 4way passive mains.
When I think of 4 way what comes to my mind is the following.
Highs
Mids
Mid Bass
Bass
With each section being powered by a separate amp each fed by a dedicated signal from a 4 way Electronic Crossover.

There is also Bi-Amped/2 way = Lows & Mid/Highs (Everything above Bass) requires two amps.

Not to be mistaken for another form Full Range (Includes Bass) + Additional Sub/Bass Requires two amps or one amp with a bypass for the Subs.

What output signals are you getting from your processing and from where? (Before the amps)
 
My signal processing is the Behringer DCX 2496 coupled with a DEQ2496.

Look at my library you can see the speakers without a grill and my amp rack.
