Members flanc Posted August 12, 2003 Members Share Posted August 12, 2003 What model Peavey Amp do you have? Without subs, your asking alot out of those Yahaha 15's. With subs, and properly sized amps, the Yamaha's should be fine for a room with up to 200 people. Those speakers are rated 250/500/1000 so you want to give them 1.5 to 2 times the RMS rating. That equates to 375 to 500 watts each. Again, I'm not sure if the Peavey amp you have will do that but can check further if you report back the model number. Give me more info on the "Behringer Emulator". Are you talking about the VAMP (Guitar) or the Bass Vamp or the DI with cabinet emulation?

Members flanc Posted August 12, 2003 Members Share Posted August 12, 2003 I found the Peavey 1.3K amp specs; it does 400watts per channel into 8 ohms. That will be real good for your Yamaha Speakers (just use a pair of them and use the other pair for floor monitors). For Subs, check out the Yorkville stuff at:http://www.audioeast.com/subs.htm Call/email Dan and let him know you are a HC board regular and he'll cut you a deal. Oh..that Behringer Ultramizer is some kind of limiter/compressor that you're probably better off leaving out of the signal chain for a while. Keep it very simple at first!
