MGR/Dustin Peterson « Carvin PB200-15 Bass Combo Amplifier »
Published on 01/16/03 at 15:00This was about $400 (450 after tax and shipping) ordered directly from the Carvin online site.
Excellent amp, speaker, tweeter. There is even a compressor/gate and a 5 band eq. This has almost as much, or the same amount of construction and features as SWR combos. I have had zero problems with it, and it even has a cutout switch, where if the amp is overpowered, it shuts down.
This has to be the best combo with a 15" speaker and a tweeter. The tweeter has an adjustment pad in the back, and you can decide how much high frequencies you want it to play. This amp is 160 watts bridged into 8ohms, and I even hooked a nice 4ohm 2x10 carvin cabinet in along with it, and it has plenty of power in biamp range. I can't think of a better bass stack for the money.
The construction in this unit is excellent. Duratuff carpet lining, birch plywood cabinet. It weighs about 50 lbs, and that's really portable considering that's a large amp inside.
For about $400, this combo amp has some of the best low end I've heard, and for higher frequencies it compares pretty close to a 2X10 I own. You wont be dissapointed.
