I have recently purchased a PreSonus Firebox, which I am using with Rokit KRK 5 studio monitors. I am using an Intel iMac Intel Core Duo to record with Logic Pro. However, when I'm trying to connect these monitors, I am getting no sound whatsoever. I have plugged all the cords in every which way possible, but nothing. Here is the setup...

I have plugged the two cords for the left speaker on the Main Out and Line In and the same with the right one, but on the bottom. Yet I continue to get no sound. Does anyone know of a possible remedy for this, so I can FINALLY get this going? Thanks! :D
 
1. Turn the speakers on.
2. Send sound to them through your computer software.

You are going to have to explain that one^, because right now it doesn't make any sense. All you have to do is plug a TRS cable (1/4" with 2 black bands on the end) from the L Main out to your left speaker TRS input, and plug a separate TRS cable from the R Main out to your right speaker TRS input. Then you probably need to check your soundcard settings and Ins/Outs in Logic. The sound won't just happen automatically as soon as you hook a cable into every possible hole. You have to tell the computer or software what soundcard to use, and where it should route what signal.
 
Why do you have two cords coming outta the left speaker? Each speaker should have one cord going directly to the Main outs.
