GK and Avatar?

[SimplyChaotic]

I've seen a few users in here using Avatar cabs with their GK heads. Would I still be able to use the Biamp capabilities of my GK (seperate woofer and tweeter controls) with an Avatar Neo? I heard you could only do it with a Gk Neo or RBH cab and the four wire speakon.

EDIT: I realise I accidentally said HK instead of GK in the title.

With one cab, the only way to use the GK bi-amping would be to rewire the cab, and even then you would have to make sure that you have the right impedences and wattage handling for the separated components.

I didn't mean biamping, sorry. I meant how GK has the seprate 'woofer' and 'tweeter' volume knobs. Would those still be in use with an Avatar? Or would I have to use a 2 conductor speakon cable and use only the woofer control and the tweeter volume on the cab?

They won't work unless you rewire the cab to function like a GK cabinet. The system is fairly laughable as far as I'm concerned. All it really does is move the tweeter control to the front of your amp rather than on the back of the cabinet. Even when I was using one of my old GK heads with a GK cabinet (albeit not very frequently) I would always run them full range as they typically sounded better that way.

+1 short answer, no, it won't work the same. But, as stated, you won't be missing out on anything, anyway. Just run full range, and smile when you play.

Thanks, this means I'll be saving money on cabs with better speakers than the GK Neos. Now, onto the important question. Any idea where I can find a white rack case to match the white tolex cabs I'm getting?

Fixed!

I love my rig, in my sig. I wouldnt change it for anything, especially in the price range.
