Peavey PV115D and PV 118

[tonybassman]

Has anyone heard this combination? The PV115D has a second internal amp for an additional 8 Ohm cabinet.

“The PV115D speaker system includes an internal power amp to drive its own speakers, as well as an amplifier output jack to drive another (passive) loudspeaker system. It supplies up to 400 watts peak available power to the internal speakers, and up to 400 watts peak available power to an external 8 ohm speaker system, for a total of 800 watts peak available power.”

The PV118 has a built in crossover but I am not sure if when connected if the PV115D will still be full range. It could be a decent PA for $1,120.

Yep...I run that...drummer decided to shell out for the 118...still waiting to pick up another one. It's definitely not what I would have gone for...but I am sure you could have done much worse

Do you know if the 15 top is run full range when the sub is plugged in? From what I read that is the case and not what I would want.

Edit: I think I have answered my own question. It looks like the top would run in full range.

USE WITH A PASSIVE ADD-ON SUBWOOFER
Non-powered subwoofers that have a built-in high frequency roll-off (often referred to as “add-on” subwoofers),
can also be used with this output, as long as the nominal impedance is 8-ohms or above.
The PV®118 Sub is in this category, and can be used with this output jack. Normally, the closer to the PV®115D
the Sub is placed, the better it will work WITH the PV®115D to increase bass output. Since the PV118 Sub has
a built-in pole guide for placing a pole stand for the PV®115D, this makes use of a PV®118 Sub a natural for use with the PV®115D.

I believe it is still full range, but I could be wrong
