zephead Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Hi guys! Just bought a Peavey Megabass Head with a bi-amping facility from ebay for £100. Anyone had any experience with one? Sounds awesome but i have no experience of bi-amps or crossovers. errrrrrrrrrrrr........................what are they? What are the best settings etc?

You'd have a fair enough result with a 2x15 for the bottom and a 2x10 sealed guitar cab on the top, using around 300 Hz for the crossover frequency, but with two bass cabs running both full range will probably work better.

I've had a couple Bi-amp rigs (GK800RB was a classic example) and tbh when put through bog standard bass cabs, imho they sounded better run full-range.
