Need some help setting up my equipment

I'll chime in 
I've been doing this as a hobby since the early 80's always dj'ing my parties and parties in my friends homes. There are some things you need to realize:
It is an art
You don't get to play what you want to hear all the time
If your music selection at an event is no good you0re screwed you need to learn some stuff before trying to jump on the train
It is hard work
You are going to be performing in very valuable events in people's lives, you screw up, don't prepare, don't listen or don't care you'll not only be out of business you'll probably be sued
It's also going to get expensive as you'll need to upgrade, repair, replace, maintain equipment and music library
So think about it before getting in the water and watch out for the "fins" swimming around. By the way I've never seen Hank get upset as he's one of the coolest guys around and is willing to help with the most incredible stuff so take it easy and let us know what you want to do and learn.

Not that I haven't in the past, but I don't recall being upset in this particular thread. I merely had Rob's back and wanted to illustrate how vague information can get misconstrued.
Thanks Jacob! I'm quite fond of you as well.
I won't reply to all the negative comments. I am going to push forward and hope that in the long run I can become one of the chosen few and pass it forward one day.
Thanksvforvresponding to the actual issue I have. If you would've read my first post, I have already figured out how to setup the existing speakers. The problem is hooking up two additional speakers out of the bbe. I know once the new wires coming out of the bbe will go to the amp. The question is and as I was trying to configure the bbe through my pc, it is setup as a 3 way crossover and withou a lot more research, it looked to me that the final 2 out on the bbe couldn't be configured correctly.
I understand if you don't have experience with the bbe because there are many competing brands. Just thought someone might be famiar with it and be able to help out.
I have not meant to offend anyone, if you look at my posts I am asking questions and introducing myself before I was attacked assumption of many things.
Let's try and start again and see if we can all get along...
Thanks
Matthew

I remember when in high school.. "long time ago" I worked at this catalogue showroom store, in electronics, guy came back in with a turntable, and said he couldnt get it to play no sound,, duhhhhh,,,
And I probably took your support call at microsoft. Yeah I think I remember, you couldn't click a mouse properly so I took you into command prompt to perform the task and I told you ok, type in exactly what I tell you. Ipconfig. It didn't work. What id you type in? I typed in typeinexactlywhatitellyouipconfig. Nothing happens. Duhhhh
