Crown drivecore question

[Trashy]

If I'm running a drive core bi-amped do I need to ohms match on each side?

I'm thinking a neo 2x12 running for the lows and mids and a 2x12 greenback for the clank tones I love. I absolutely love greenbacks for the top end clank, and I'm trying to figure a way to get a rig together with them.

The 25 watt power handling (each) is more than enough, because I will use it at low to mid volume, and only above 200-300 hz.

But would I need to have the seperate cab ohms match?

No, the load on each channel do not need to match.

You might want to program power limits into the DriveCore's limiter function however, an accident will take those drivers out in an instant.

Didn't know that was possible, that makes those drive cores even better for my needs.

Most models (depending on the series) contain programmable DSP based operating parameters

There are a couple 'Drivecore' models but if you're using the cheap and common Crown XLS, it doesn't have power limit settings.

Correct, it depends on the model. The ones I typically work with contain the processing.
