If your "dbx drive box" is a driverack then you have
presets for the JBL's and also for the crown amps. 
I guess you should power your celestion with the mackie amp.
the mrx subs with the xti4000 and the 15" mains with the xls.
What kind of dbx do you have?
Can you provide some more info on the celestion's also?
Nice setup btw

yup, it does have the presets for the crowns and the JBLS, trying to figure out how to wire the celestrions in there....
unforunatly, i haven't been able to find any info on em.
they're extremely awesome sounding, for what it's worth...
i'll get a picture later today. |

Without any data on the celestions it would be quite hard to set any good crossover slopes from this side of the computer :>
Anyways, go with the available presets for the jbl's and the crown amps. They are there for a reason
Not sure at all if this is a good way to do it with the others, but you could try until you have more info about the celestions..
Connect the mackie amp to the mid out of the driverack and configure it as a low, set the system as a 3 way, and in the mid configuration you set HPF 45hz BW18, LPF 100hz LR24.
In the wizard the mackie amp should be set as custom :>
Let me know how it sounds =)
Cheers
