Crown XLS Drivcore or XTI Series For Bass Amp

#1 Post by MusicalAlchemy »

I recently purchased an ADA MB-1 pre amp and am about to build a T39 loaded with a 3012LF on the bottom, and an OTop 12 loaded with a 3012HO and a full melded array on the top. These are the cabinets I was told to build when I asked the question on the forums when I had my SVT-IV, so I assume I would still want the same cabinets for bi-amping with a 6 string using the ADA. Which power amp would be the best for this setup, one of the XLS Drivecore Series or the XTI Series?

Thanks

xti 2k will do you. run -3 limiters, and hp your sub at 45 hz, crossover to tops between 125 the xls *will* work, but you wont be able to hp your sub, which means you could run into blown driver issues.
Built:
2x Tuba 30s delta12lf loaded (gone)
4x Otop12 d2512 loaded
8x t48s (18, 18, 24, 24, 30, 30) 3015lf loaded
2x AT (1 mcm, 1 gto 804)
2x SLA Pro (dayton pa6, 6 goldwood piezo loaded)
1x bastard XF208

2x OT212 (delta pro 450a loaded, eminence psd)

Given the fairly flexible EQ on the ADA, I think the drivecore is more than good enough.
Built:
6xDR200, 2xT39, 2xT48, 2xJack110, 1xOmni10.5, 1xAutotuba, 1xT18, 1xSLA Pro, 1xW8, 1xW10
