QUICK REPLY NEEDED PLEASE ABOUT LINKING AMPS

[rymiraflores]

I have had to borrow bass amps for an upcoming gig...Hartke HA2500 with 4 x 10 and a Behringer 300W 1 x 15 combo.not the greatest of amps I know but all I could get at short notice..anyway neither by itself will have enough volume for the show...so is there a way to link them together so that I will get the TOTAL of their combined outputs and will I need to EQ them separately or can 1 of them control the sound of both?
Thanks

If they both have an effects loop, run the effects send of the Hartke in to the Behringer effects return, that should work, although changing tones will depend on how the effects loops are set up.

If either amp has a line out or tuner out, just link it to the other amp using that.

DO NOT wire a cable from a 'speaker out' to anything other than a speaker/cab!

so from line out or tuner out to....normal instrument input?

 

[Jimbob Jones]

Yup!

You have several options. You can split your signal and run into both amps. This approach can cause a humming if the ground is not handled properly. Many amps have effects loops which might work ok. Probably the best way is if the amps have a line out/line in or a power amp out/power amp in. Then you can daisy chain several amps together.

OK thanks everyone.....should be easy enough.
