You should be running the 4x10 full range, the 1x15 lows only with the low pass filter set around 800 Hz.[/quote] I will give it a go, cheers buddy. Can I just be clear, do you mean set the left knob to about 4 o clock?

Anyone know where this is now? Apologies for not keeping up.

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' post='616802' date='Oct 4 2009, 08:10 PM']I just assumed he was running both cabs full range. There's no point to bi-amping these speakers, though running stereo does offer the advantage of being able to power shade.[/quote] So will changing the fequency on the cross-over to put more of the load onto the 4X10 help?

Progress

I think if it goes for under £125 it could be worth a punt.

TBH I only use the 15" for the low end which is usually loud enough, as long as it's not cuting the 4X10 then awesome. But I will try all the options out, maybe I shouldn't have sold the 6X12 but I had extreme Stingray GAS.

Right as I don't have the budget for another 15" ATM I have a few choices. I could use just the 4X10, I could put both cabs on the same power amp, I could turn the limiter off or as they are bi-amped on a cross-over I could give the 4X10 more to do. Which would work best?

All the manual says about the limiter is "24. LIMIT: This LED illuminates when the internal limit circuit is activated. This indicates that the amplifier is nearing full output and the limiter is keeping it from clipping the output signal." Hmmm I'm guessing the 15" is causing it as that is 300W, might be worth investing in a new cab.

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' post='616099' date='Oct 3 2009, 10:15 PM']That depends on how it's configured. The owner's manual should say.[/quote] All the manual has is this.

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' post='616089' date='Oct 3 2009, 09:57 PM']If you're lighting up the limiter it means you've reached the extent of the clean rated power of the amp. If that's not loud enough chances are your speakers are insufficient for the job, no matter what they're rated, and sending even more power to them probably will lead to a less than desirable result.[/quote] Could it be possible that the limiter is only kicking in for one side?

[quote name='WarPig' post='615393' date='Oct 2 2009, 11:49 PM'] 1200w's thatll be in total once ive got the superfly. Shame i only have the one cab The B5Rs up on feebay, but hasnt sold yet.[/quote] I'm at 1800W after the Superfly has gone so combined we are 3KW

Oh the specs of my amp are: OUTPUT POWER RATING 1350 Watts Mono-Bridged @ 4 Ohms (1000 Watts Continuous) 840 Watts Mono-Bridged @ 8 Ohms (680 Watts Continuous) 2 x 675 Watts @ 2 Ohms (500 Watts Continuous) 2 x 420 Watts @ 4 Ohms (340 Watts Continuous) 2 x 255 Watts @ 8 Ohms (205 Watts Continuous) I use both power amps at 8OHMS (1 cab per power amp) my cabs are 300W & 600W

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' post='616030' date='Oct 3 2009, 08:18 PM']The light won't come on. And of course the limiter won't be functional, which increases the possibility of damaging your speakers.[/quote] Is there a big chance of that happening?

My limiter light keeps on coming on, what will happen if I press the limit defeat button?

[quote name='TheButler' post='615578' date='Oct 3 2009, 11:06 AM']Oh, and my interpretation of 'backline' as regards gigging is just drum 'breakables' and cabs. Backline really does mean [i]everything[/i] at the back i suppose, but oh well.[/quote] I agree.

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='615600' date='Oct 3 2009, 11:35 AM']just something that will be of use and/or interest to fellow bassists and which will encourage them to buy tickets![/quote] Oh, I won't offer a free slap lesson then

[quote name='lemmywinks' post='615643' date='Oct 3 2009, 12:34 PM']Aye it was flagged up on eBay i think This one? [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=33981&hl=musicman"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...amp;hl=musicman[/url] Link is dead now as it was a while ago, pretty sure this bass has been here before[/quote] That's the one.

[quote name='WarPig' post='613708' date='Oct 1 2009, 11:52 AM']BAM! [/quote] Are you still selling the B5 or are you playing to win? Hang on you're buying an amp from me next week, are we going to take on Joe and Oli in volume?

This Tuesday.

[quote name='MythSte' post='615071' date='Oct 2 2009, 06:20 PM']That i do![/quote] Not as yet I need to try all kinds of combinations but the way I have it set up is so savage I just leave it, I will round to it though.

[quote name='MythSte' post='615066' date='Oct 2 2009, 06:18 PM']have you tried them round the other way yet? Id be interested to see if you notice much difference![/quote] You mean low end through the 4X10 and full range through the 15"?
