Proline will kill everything if clipped, even once.
Seen XP3000 on bench dummy load test, my own amp in perfect order. No where near 1500 a side. The older model pre XP 3000 did though.

Spend more or wait for the Berry NX6000 next month.Tongue

For the under 500 mark my alternatives could be a qsc 4050 or a crest 8001. I’m quite sceptical about the berry’s ratings as I will be using it for sub, I won’t be able to get it in time for my giggs too. I prefer a big toroidal amp on bass, the matrix was a recommendation from a friend who powered his scoops off one.

I have heard about the prolines clipping and it’s putting me off a bit despite its decent benchmark figures.
I’m powering 2 pd186 hogs (mk1) and possibly 2 186 es18s (if I find something suitable). I’ve seen a matrix xt5000 pop up which looked like it would be upto the job and also the macro tech 3600vz. It’s just very hard to come accross certain amps.

i think for running 186s the qsc or crest a good option ,crown 3600 good but again bit of a driver killa , i know some one who runs 4 pd186s on a 8001 with very good results :)

Funny that about the Crown 3600 being a killer of drivers. I have never blown a driver with one. Still got 5 in my arsenal.

8001. EV P3000 (it WONT overheat if you get the bias and other adjustments done properly), 4050, big Peavey GPS 3400, Crown 5000. Moving modern a Yamaha T5n will do the job and a few have gone for 7/800.

The Peavey although a couple of hundred watts short does almost the same at 40hz as 10k!


With the Berry I meant two of them.

I might be to get my hands on a 8001 (recently serviced) and qsc 4050, out of the two which would you recommend? Will the 8001 have enough power for x4 186s? I want it to be reliable and don’t want to be carrying out too many repairs.

The Yamaha/p3000 are abit out my price range. The peavey amp looks decent, just depends whether I’d be able to find one.
