Hello,

As some of you may already know, I am currently using a Peavey PV 1500 power amplifier to run my 2 Peavey Pro 15's + 2 Peavey Pro Subs which I use for my DJ sound system at gigs.

Over these last few weeks of gigging, I have felt the weight of the amp strain my back and I already have back problems so I don't want to do anymore damage to my back.

I have thought about selling my Peavey Amplifier and getting 1 or 2 lightweight amplifiers to run my speakers.

Ideally, I would like to get 2 amps and 1 crossover so I can run 1 amp on tops, 1 amp on subs and have a cross over to split the signals.

I haven't worked out how much I would like to spend yet, but I don't want to spend no more than £600 if I can help it.

What do you think and what amplifiers would you reccommend?

Many Thanks,

Tom

I currently power my speakers by radon emissions generated by a small reactor I smuggle into gigs.

HANG ON TOM!!!!
your only 16 !!!
wait til your 52 like some of us dinosaurs!!
then your back will feel it matey!!!!!
Anyway the IPR1600 is
800 watts per chan rms at 2 ohm
530 watts per chan rms at 4 ohm
300 watts per chan rms at 8 ohm so itll match yr old amp performance wise
Enjoy!

This is in the wrong section. It clearly isn't a review.
