Nope. There IS a bridge mode for the Peavey IPR series, and one of Peavey's own has posted on TB as to how to build the cable for bridging.
I've recently moved to the IPR-3000 for my fEARful rig. Fronted by a Kern IP-777 (IPIPR!). What I'd tell you is that it certainly IS bridgeable.

Hey look...there's my bridging cable for it!
I would guess that you may never ever need to bridge though. Because if you run of of each channel at 8ohms you're seeing about 450~500w per cab. If you run both cabs off of one side, you're seeing ~525w per channel. If you bridge, you're getting a total of 2980w at 4ohms, or 1490w per cab.
Now, I can say that I looked at 450w per cab and felt underwhelmed. Until I used 450w per cab. Its a really LOUD F#@&$%$ 450w per cab. I'ma sayin' that run one cab off of each channel I'm attenuating to the tune of no hotter than both channels running at 9 to 10 o'clock on the attenuating knobs, and I have my bass volume rolled back to half volume. And its still screamin' loud.
I haven't even bothered to bridge, because can't think of why I'd want to be loud enough to sterilize the rest of the band.
Edited to add, that my 'loud' is louder than most people's loud. My loud is 'I turned you off in the PA and had to push the front end to match you out front' outdoors and with a full system kind of loud.
Thanks! It seems this power amp has got to be the best value right now comparing performance, dollars spent, etc..
I went with the two 15/6/1 option.

If you have the room to haul two then why not. It can't be much more than a 12/6/1 cube.
OK -That looks like the rig for me.
Wow.
Did you do the build yourself, or were they made for you?
I know I could probably find an answer to this if I searched through the thousands of posts in these multiple threads... but just asking seems simpler!
Does anyone have any experience with the 'flat pack deluxe kits' (contains speakers pre cut wood, etc... only needs assembly) offered by speakerhardware.com?
I'm considering trying out a fEARful for the first time. The idea with the 6" driver makes sense to me, and i'm in need of a new cab. So what the heck, I'll try it!
Any personal experiences, or advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated!

Less barking, more wagging!
Are any TBers using a fEARful Headcase?
Have any TBers tried a pair of 3-way fEARfuls as PA cabs?

So the Line 6 Pod X3 takes the place of any preamps or other gear, straight into the Peavey?
I've been wondering if my Zoom B9 might be able to do that.
Nice stack! I like the blue baffles.
What's that gathering dust in the background?

Yeah I use the Line 6 as my preamp and it works great too. I never really compared the models to see if they sound like the real deal because I really don't care as long as I can get good tones out of it.
The Acmes are long gone.
And thanks for the compliment.
So all you'd need is one more Peavey and you could go stereo or at least left and right out of the Line 6? That would probably provide that last little bit of power as well....
Thanks.
I got wheels mounted on the bottom of the cab now and a handle on the back of the amphead case. It becomes it's own dolly/hand cart.
If I build either a 12/6 Cube or a 15 Sub later on, they'll latch together with this as well. Makes it modular and it's own transport.
singlemalt said:
You could but the X3 will mix the dual tones internally and output in mono. I guess you would need another power amp though if you wanted to run a true stereo rig. I personally don't need it.
I use the dual tone feature and use two different amp models at the same time. One of my patches is a Marshall with a 4x12 with the gain cranked and an SVT with an 810. That gets mixed in the X3 and it output in mono.

That's very cool. I wish I would have latched the two cabinets together. When it starts getting loud I would get a buzzing sound from the plastic corners rubbing together. Although I found a cheap way to fix that. I put a bath towel in between the two cabinets when they are stacked.
