Power Amp Inputs

...Can I run the 2000 Watt Power Amp into...
aaahh!

you can't run a power amp into anything but speakers!

you can send a line signal out of the mixer head and into the power amp, using the "preamp outputs" of the head (left and right, or mono). the outputs of the power amp go into speakers only.

get this wrong and you get to buy new gear.

So say I want to run a bass head and a power amp? How would I go about hooking it up safely
