im a noob so im just going to ask what could be a dumb question.

Could you use this (or any other power amp) to run a guitar cab? or do you need a guitar specific power amp? been using a line6 spider4 hd150 head and it has no power at all. so im thinking of just buying a power amp and just using the effects on my pedal. i need to power a crate 4x12.

@carpenterbee10 you can use a power amp like this, but you might not get the sound you want even with your pedal. Is your line6 spider4 hd150 a tube amp? If it is, power amps like the one i have are not tube amps and might have a different kind of sound to it then your old amp head. I don't think it could be that much of a difference in sound, but if you are really picky about how your guitar sounds maybe you would notice it more.

I just got me a XLS 1000 Crown amp and hooked it up to my speakers but im not getting any thing out of them...What were the settings that you put the amp on I'm using bare wire and RCA jacks and just not getting anything out of them.

[speakerlover13]

@klintravis It should not make a difference if you are using bare wire or speakon, I have used channel 1 with speakon and channel 2 with bare wire. I would test your rca signals first, if you turn on the amp and turn up the volume of your source, see if the power indicators show any green light. that means your rca's are working. If you see the green lights and when you turn up the gain on the amp, that means something internal could be broken. Message me back about what you find out

Speakers never sound good out of the box, plus you could blow them!

@RutlesRyan your the one who said the xti is better than xls

[RutlesRyan]

@cadw600 wth tell it to somebody who cares

[speakerlover13]

@cadw600 if you could invest $300 you could buy the xls 1000. I have used it at house parties with just my ipod plugged straight into it and i got plenty of volume, plus the xls 1000 only weights 10lbs and puts out 1100 watts rms of clean power. What kind of speakers do you have and what sony stereo do you use? and yea $65 is kinda expensive, i bought mine for like $25 at a local audio store

[cadw600]

@speakerlover13 yep thats exactly what I'm taking about thanks! small and makes the iPod signal stronger. but $65 is not what i was planning on spending ha.
