It might be best if you asked whoever sold you that equipment to show you how to hook it up. Per your statement that you are unfamiliar with how to set it up, will you be familiar with its use and the settings? There is one piece of equipment that you listed that worries me for you, the BBE Sonic maximizer. In the hands of an experienced operator it can cause major devastation. I would suggest you recruit local, hands on help. Pay someone a few dollars to assist you.

Or start out smaller...its like jumping feet first into a volcano wearing tinfoil.
 
My Opinion, YMMV
I would personally not use a Maximizer
I would ditch the Dual 15s
I will get 15s and pole mount them over the subs


anyways here is how I would hook it up:

Source ------- Processing ----------- Amplification -------------- Speakers

THATS IT!! Decrease SPL!!!

In that case refer to one of the above pieces of advise and stay away from the Dual 15s. They are better suited for Bands on stages or on top of subs. On the floor they tend to sound muddy if too many people get in front of them to block the sound waves.

High notes should travel over people's heads. Those Duals are usually not pole mounted..The higher you put them then the more bass from them you will loose as bass belongs on the floor.. So it is always going to be a compromise between bass and highs.

If you want something that will work in a two way as tops, I would strongly recommend the Bose 802s and their controller (Two way crossover) that goes with them. It is a line array and has great Mids and highs. They keep up with my 4 JBL Bass Bins very nicely.
