I am after some help designing a PA system for an outdoor sport venue. Open to any suggestions but this is what I have at the moment. They already have a PMX700 amp/mixer, can I run say 4 Titan 12d's active speakers of this unit daisy chained? That way I can adjust the sound volume tone etc at each point to optimize quality. They have two inputs a mic and the scoring from a PC. Any help much appreciated.
Sorry I haven't got any pictures, its a 40 foot shipping container with a platform on top. So there will be two speakers pointing outwards on this and another building about 20 meters away with two more speakers.
Ok, that's something but please do a simple sketch showing the general area, where will the public be, the track or field where the "activity" will be performed, etc.
Also what it's about, a quiet cricket or golf tournament is very different to an earsplitting car or motorcycle race.
Where will the people be and how many of them.
Otherwise your question is impossible to answer.

Consider the use, announce systems at a race track need to be heard and understood, they are not all that concerned with how hifi it sounds. Your telephone is not hifi, yet it sounds great for voice communication. On the other hand if this is for music performance, then hifi matters more. I suspect it is the former.
is it permanently installed? Or is it portable, meaning to be struck down and stored between uses? if it is to be left outdoors, then THAT is a primary concern. Are the speakers you mentioned weatherproof? It does not say so in the brochure I see. And full range speakers like that might be wasted for an announce system. Announce horns can be a lot more efficient, meaning more coverage per watt.
Active speakers on poles or elevated must have not only the signal cable, but also mains power routed to each. Plain old passive speakers can be wired to your powered mixer, with only four of them, we ought to have no impedance problems.
And consider paying an audio professional to come in and assess your situation and suggest solutions. he may have ideas you never considered. It would be a worthwhile investment. You don't need to buy gear from him, make it a paid consultation.
