Members soundtecwannabe Posted August 10, 2003 Members Share Posted August 10, 2003 Has anyone used the Crest CPX amps? I'm curious how well the built in crossover works. They're about the same pricepoint as QSC RMX series, so I'm suprised I've never read anything about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted August 10, 2003 Members Share Posted August 10, 2003 Because QSC and Crown have pretty much dominated the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thunderpaw Posted August 10, 2003 Members Share Posted August 10, 2003 Same basic amp as the Peavey PV series. Peavey owns Crest. The built in crossover works fine and each channel has one. Rugged amp, similar to the excellent RMX series from QSC. Recently, the specs game has reared its head, with the same CPX amps appearing to be rated more conservatively than their PV breathren. It's all about market share and bragging rights, I guess. If pricing was the same, I'd go with the QSC, simply because if you need to sell later on, it's more recognizable. If the Crest were significantly less expensive, I'd go that route and not think twice. Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members steelyD Posted August 10, 2003 Members Share Posted August 10, 2003 The CPX appears to be exactly the same as the PV Series. Only the front plate is styled a little different, but everything, switches, knobs and lights, are in the exact same place and are the same type. The CPX even has the Peavey DDT Compression (although they call it GCL, stands for something like "Global Compression Limiting"). I've had a CPX1500 for several months, but, due to circumstances beyond its control, haven't been able to use it more than a few times.

Members Dookietwo Posted August 10, 2003 Members Share Posted August 10, 2003 I do sound for different bands .One band has had 2 of them for some time now .They use the 150hz crossover to biamp . Works fine . Amps don't run hot and seem to deliver the goods . I believe they are around 800 to 900 watts per channel . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
