Not that I can think of.

 

If you run a 2x10 and a 2x15 though (I do exactly this), the 2x10 will most likely represent the highs better naturally without any sort of crossover biamp madness. :thu:

Yes, that's a good point.

I bought a second amp and tried boosting the signal for an extra favorable response, but I've never found a "biamped" (it isn't technically a biamp if you don't run a crossover) sound that I preferred to just running my amp into two cabs that react differently.

depends on your amp. if your amp is bi-ampable, there *should* be a crossover setting that changes where the split is in your sound, and on the back it *should* be marked as to which output is highs, which one is lows.

 

 

(all of this is strictly conjecture on my part, based solely on my previous experiences, and should not, under any circumstances, be taken as the gospel truth)

Actually you're spot on - that's exactly how it works.

 

Only problem is, unless the 2 internal power amps are bridgeable, you can only run 1 of the amps if you play through a single cab. And you have to be careful as to what frequency to crossover vs how much power you send to your nominal 'bass' cab, or you may do as I did and fry one of the power amps!
