dimplebutt said:cool cool.. hmm i would like to already use the head i have..but it doesn't come with a crossover.. is there something on the market that i can buy. where i would take my bass head. line out into this crossover device then line that out to the speakers. My head is 400w @ 4Ohm i don't think i need any more power than that..![]()
If you want to keep your current head, then I'd suggest getting a crossover, and a small, say 200W PA style poweramp. Then run the DI (set to 'post') output of the Yorkville into the crossover, then into the extra poweramp. Use the 'high-pass' to drive the new poweramp, which drives the 2x10 box. The PV poweramp drives the new low frequency box, and I'd probably go with a 1x18.
Crossovers can be had cheaply enough; [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] for example. Rane also make some good ones, and both could be had at better street prices or secondhand/ebay.
Ditto the poweramps, any decent brand will do fine. Most pro poweramps are 2 channel, but you can either use the extra as a spare, or wire in a small horn driver, and use the extra outputs of the Behringer to make a 3 way rig, crossing up around 3kHz.
Even though I seldom use more than a tiny fraction of it's power, I use a big 2x500W amp as I got it cheap, and has served with perfect reliably for a looooong time. It's a bit heavy, but bulletproof, and as I'm not using it near it's max, it should outlast me. Newer poweramps are generally a lot lighter.
The only down side of this rig will be the added weight, cost and bulk, but it will sound a LOT bigger than the 2x10. You'll also need to spend some time frigging around with the controls to get it to sound right.
