Ah cross-over. Now we're talking... Would changing my EQ on my amp effect this? i.e. push the signals too high etc? Am i buying one or making one? Or am i naive to the humungous complexity of that task? What kind fo prices am i looking at for one? This is new territory for me.

[quote name='stevie' post='194451' date='May 8 2008, 09:27 AM']What's the impedance of the 15?[/quote] 4 ohms. Think this calculation explains it: Both cabs are 4 Ohms each. so in parallel it'd be 1/((1/4) + (1/4)) = 2 Ohms (eeep!) In series it'd be 4 + 4 = 8 ohms (limiting the power of the amp!)

Hey Bassing Comrades, My trusty workhorse head got nicked at a gig [color="#0000FF"]([url="http://www.peavey.com/media/pdf/manuals/80301702.pdf"]Peavey Mark VII XP Bass Head[/url][/color]) So i got the [color="#0000FF"][url="http://www.markbass.it/products.php?lingua=en&cat=1&vedi=69"]Mark Bass Little Mark II[/url][/color] paying no consideration to impedance, doh! I have these two cabs, workhorses once again: [color="#0000FF"][url="http://www.peavey.com/media/pdf/manuals/80300395.pdf"]BX115 BW[/url] [url="http://www.peavey.com/media/pdf/manuals/80301560.pdf"]TX210[/url][/color] So when I first got them i hooked them up in parallel to hear the awesome 500W and my amp kept safety switching itself off , after realising my mistake, i've been running one cable from the back of my amp and into splitter taking the signal to both cabs in series basically. This is fine, "sound comes out n everyfin'" but to my understanding i'm not making the most of my head and am running at less than i had before which just isn't enough for me . So basically, with spending as little money as possible what can i do to take advantage of the 500W i.e. change impedance of cabs? replace speakers? sod it all and save for new cabs etc? i'd like to explore the impedance thing first.
