Sound In Gloucestershire Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 as for crossovers, dont forget that the Peavey 2600 amps have a crossover built in, so you can kill the mid/high or the bass, id give that a go and see if you are happy with the sound before investing in a dedicated crossover as for running in bridged mode at 4 ohms, no idea, we regularly use one at 2ohms for 12+ hours at a time (loud too) but never tried it bridged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acdisco Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I think ive got 2 of those amps somewhere. Although both a bit battered will be willing to sort out a deal if you want em for spares? They were ex install, I dont think they were treated too well! students :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already have the active crossover ( cx 2300 ) , in fact I now have all the gear I listed , except the 2nd peavey amp , that's due delivery anytime now , I just wanted to confirm that it was the right set-up , both quality and reliable , and more importantly , I wont damage any equipment in the process eg :- do I run with both amps fully up ?? do I now back off low end in my mix for kick drum and bass guitar etc....... dave.

Sound In Gloucestershire Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 yes , but they are set at 150 hz ... is this ideal ?? id have given them a go to see if I was happy with the sound, but if you already have the crossover, then of course use it!

dhilly Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 ok , thanks for everyones input .... can anyone advise me on my speaker cables ??? would I be wise to run 4 core from my bridged amp to the bins or will 2 core be ok ?? dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndenim Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 As for cable size the minimum I use is 2.5mm. You should be ok running two 2 core cables, as long as they are this diameter.I bought some quality speaker cable from Beyerdynamic just before they stopped selling it, (IS it still available?)but it wasn't cheap, 30m was about £60. I'm sure some other blue roomers could point you in the right direction. John Denim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berry120 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 http://www.maxiaudio.co.uk/products.php?cat=720 The stuff there looks a lot cheaper, and you get plenty of it! do I run with both amps fully up ?? do I now back off low end in my mix for kick drum and bass guitar etc.......Just to be on the safe side, I usually start quietly, check everything's sounding the way it should, then when I'm happy that that's the case I'll push it up to the level I need.

Brad123 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Hey Dave, I own a couple of the FBQ3102 EQ's and I must admit I'm happy with them for the price, they're fader's are smoother than I expected and they've come quite a way from the old GEQ3102's, that's for sure... For Your Crossover, I would DEFINETLY recommend getting ahold of the DBX Driverack PA's. I own one of these and it's great! It's your X-Over, RTA, EQ, COMP, LIMITER and a whole lot more all in one digital unit. If you set it up well enough, you can save your system setting in it for next time... Definetly worth a look at. I'm looking at buying a second one or even upgrading to the Driverack 260... Cheers, Brad. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do a search to find out why they're really not popular. I use the 260 which is great in pretty much every way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
