Behringer EP1500. If you only need 200 watts, just use one side of it (270 watts) as your need for power grows, you can add more cabs to get more volume, or bridge the amp for more power.

This amp does not bridge mono. Specs are per channel.
I would get that PV900 instead (link in my previous post)
darn if only i had seen those last two posts, anyway a bougth the servvo 260 for 130$. Thanks for the help
im so confused i didnt recieve the pre amp yet but how the hell do i hook the pre amp into it, or whats the best way to set this thing up?

Which preamp are you getting?
It will makew a difference if it is mono or stereo.
Stereo = 1 output per side
Mono = Get a 'y' cable and go from your mono out to each input.
Well i dont exactly know because i have this friend who makes amps and pedals, and hes makin me a pre amp that is like a 1987 marshall. I gonna ask him about that and see what he says. O also is there any way that i can hook the power amp up to my gk head and use them both.

You can go mono into one side of the ampfrom your preamp into one cab and then from the preamp out on the GK into the other side of the power amp into another SEPERATE cab.
But you would still need to split your signal to feed the inputs of the preamp and the GK simultaneously.
