Members Dapp Posted July 24, 2003 Members Share Posted July 24, 2003 hello, sorry for my ignorance.... an ex-drummer for our band brought once a powered head and a speaker for the vocals... huge set for a single room.. he quit and took his gear with him.Now he's selling them to me... the thing is I didn't even look at it when we had it in our room; I only remember it sounding really loud for our room and more than what we needed.He says, it's a Peavey Mark IV head, and a Hartke cabinet that handles 300 watts. I remember the cabinet, it had a small horn on top and a 12 or 15" speaker in the center. I've searched and it seems this thing is really for bass, both the head and the cabinet, and he's selling them both for $350. They are used but work well... we were actually looking for some kind of pa that we could grow with, and start with $400... buying maybe a used amp and a speaker to start... first of all, is this a good deal? second, would it be acceptable to use it as a PA, connecting later a second speaker to the head?? (I already have a small passive mixer, behringer MX802A). The guy says the head can drive 2 speakers. I know this may not be intended as a PA, but we were planning to start one for the same money that this guy wants for his gear. thanks..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tommy Tune Posted July 24, 2003 Members Share Posted July 24, 2003 You could be in a little bit of a pickle, here. It looks like you're old drummer bought a bass rig and now he wants to dump it. First of all, the Hartke 15 has no horn. I wouldn't think of using it as a main. Secondly, you might be better off trying to hit a pawn shop or look in the local paper to get a real power amp and a few speakers that will do the job. Third, you are definitely going to need more money. It's only a good deal if you can use it, it hasn't been beat up and it's cheap. If I were you, I'd pass. This setup is of no use to anyone for a PA application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
