SWL Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 https://www.amazon.com/Crown-XLS1502-Two-channel-x2126-Amplifier/dp/B011X2HTZC I'm considering this amp to power my horn loaded THTLP subs. I've never used DSP to manipulate my subs before so I'm looking for a little insight. I know the Behringer amps get some use around here but I'm heavily leaning towards Crown. Not written in stone....so input is much appreciated. I've only powered the Tubas with the EP4000 so I'm curious to try a different amp that may give better results. Thanks.

holtrp Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Good video that explains Room EQ Wizard and the subsequent filter adjustments on your DSP. I am happy with iNuke, but I am sure the Crowns are just as good and there are probably videos out there that can help explain the DSP adjustments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason str Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 The XTI series has more DSP options if interested in PEQ adjustments. Crown XTI 1002 $$$ other option If you are interested in a price for the Lab Gruppen let me know, one of my clients is a dealer. If you need help after purchase just give me a call Scott. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason str Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 If you are happy with the current amplifier why not just look at DSP options to handle the task you are interested in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWL Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 That's just it.....something is up and I think it's this cheap Behringer amp.As long as I'm gonna try another sub amp, it might as well have dsp. Eventually, I'll check out the Mini-DSP but in the meantime something ain't right with this amp. I bought it new but there's a story behind it. Typical Behringer stuff......Sent from my SM-G920R4 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason str Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Problem is you will still be stuck with no high pass filter for the mains. How about a 4 channel amplifier with all the options you need ? >link< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are not familiar with the DSP it could be a simple fix. Help is available right here if needed. Don't write off the Berhinger amps as cheap, I have 7 and they have performed great for the last 3-4 plus years. I traded in my Crown XLS 1500 and 2500 amps for the Berhinger and could not be more pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWL Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 I've had four of these amps and I'm very familiar with them. I'm confident the dip switches are correct.Sent from my SM-G920R4 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWL Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 Derek this is the ep4000 so there is no DSP.Sent from my SM-G920R4 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWL Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 When I first bought this amp I had to return it because of the sound was very dull. After some convincing they gave me a new amp and the new amp sounded fine.Now, the sound is very dull and not clean like how I remember it sounding. It's like the amp degraded or something. It's not tight and snappy anymore. Sent from my SM-G920R4 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboKlipsch Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 SWL have you ever measured the room with microphone and software? If not you would like doing so. You've done so much with your ear and trial/error and experience that it would take you up even another notch. I've been to several theaters now that use just the Behringers and they do sound great. The designer of my current LCRs actually is selling an EP4000 on another site right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWL Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 Thanks Rob.....measuring my room is gonna happen eventually.
