speaker to amp matching

Post by jcb3cx55 » Mon Jul 17, 2017 4:42 pm

Can someone please confirm my amp/speaker compatibility.

Stereo setup with each side consisting of

Peavey messenger mk2 prosub 15" 600w program 4ohm linked to
Peavey pv215 700w program 4 ohm

According to Peavey, these pro sub's have clever crossover that keeps impedance at 4 ohm even when daisyed to another 4 ohm cab?

There fore, each side is 1300w program at 4ohm?

I will be using a behringer ep4000 power amp which at 4 ohm states

2 x 950w RMS and 2 x 1400w peak power

Does this set up sound stable?

Regards

2 x

There is not a system available that will maintain impedance when daisy chaining cabinets together.
you are presenting a 2 ohm load to the amp which is not recommended.

or is it a crossover the sends the highs to the tops and lows to the single 215? i think with that the impedance stays 4 ohms?

correct me if wrong though.

Not according to Peavey's spec of these sub's. When linking these sub's into any satellite speaker system, their clever crossover keeps impedance at 4 ohms. I've had this confirmed by peavey.

And yes, crossover sends lows to sub's and mids/tops to the pv215 s
