Gearhead, plz: Bass head / power amp questions[views:1254][posts:7]________________________________________ [Aug 5,2007 12:28am - DestroyYouAlot ""] Hey, gearheads; a query: If I have an older-model GK 400rb bass head (125w into 8 ohms), is there any sense in combining a Crown Com-Tech 210 (270w into 8 ohms) to get more volume, or am I just going to blow my gear up? I've got 2 15-inch, 8 ohm cabs to run into. [img] [img] |

Are you using two seperate speaker outs from the head into each cab? or is there one speaker out and you're daisy chaining the two cabs? I suppose it could go either way; the Crown can do 270 watts mono, or 105 dual-channel. I'm fucking clueless with this shit. |

More then likely though, a power amp won't help you out a ton. I'd probably put the money that you were going to spend on a power amp (and maybe sell your existing head as well) to just buy a better head. I'd got a hartke ha3500 that was used in TYAG and hardly ever turned up past half way and it gave me plenty of volume. (not the best head in the world, but it can be had for cheap). |
