Hi
I have peavey Xr800F Plus mixer 1000w, would you recommend connecting active speakers to the main outs of this mixer. Also The mixer has a efx send but no return. Is there anyway i can hook up an external effects unit and use it with the mixers effects at the same time

The 1/4" master outputs can connect to active speakers.
To use external effects you use the effects send, and then return back to an unused channel as your effects return.

Ok thanks for that. But if i use the effects send won't that mean i willonly be using the external effects unit and not the internal. As i wish to use both

Also is there any risk of blowing the speakers if i have just active connected to the master output?

No risk if you are connecting to the Master SIGNAL output of the mixer. Never connect active speakers to the Master SPEAKER outputs on the back of any mixer.

Yes there is master outputs left and right which are a 6.35mm jack and there are speaker outputs which are speakon
