I've got a SB2 and 2 Active Speakers. Since the SB2 only has RCA out and not XLR, how can I connect both speakers to SB2? Thanks.

So the speakers only have XLR inputs? It would've been helpful if you'd told us the make and model.

Anyway, the connection is simple. Just buy a cable that has RCA plugs at one end and XLR the other.

...or you could use a standard RCA-RCA cable and buy RCA to XLR adaptors (Google 'rca xlr adator').

Sorry about that. I have two Harbinger V2112 Vari. So I could go two XLR male to two RCA Male connectors? It has RCA and XLR connections.

I see that input 2 on the speaker has RCA connections, so why not use those? Obviously only use one per speaker (left to one, right to the other).

It does. But there is a significant sound decrease with only one per left & right vs both. So that's what I am curious of any other options for full sound.

Would I be able use RCA to 1/4 in the Line 1? Just two sets.

No, you are looking at this the wrong way. Yes, there is a sound decrease, because you are not sending both channels to one speaker. However, you are making up for it by adding another speaker, and getting separation. That input is would typically be used for output from a mp3, or CD player. I don't see why you can't use it with your controller. Of course you would have to use single RCA to RCA males, or pull apart a stereo set. The other two suggestions work fine, RCA to XLR or RCA to 1/4 inch.
