Hello! Our band is new to having halfstacks! Last year we got a Carvin R1000 for our bass rig paired with an Ampeg 4x10. After 5 months which included a tour and several shows, two speakers ripped. I think there was too much power for the speakers to handle. I do know know much about speakers and amps and I had some questions that I think will help is not blow any speakers and to understand our gear better. Also the speakers were eminence speakers that are red with a picture of a guitar on them, I can’t find any info on them.
I keep reading the manual but I still do not understand the Carvin R1000 (series 3)
1. What is bridged mode, in layman’s terms
2. Should we be using the amp in bridge only mode? (Impedance is correct but that means all 1000w of power going to the 4x10 if I read that correctly)
3. How should we go about figuring out which speakers to use so we don’t blow any more
4. In layman’s terms, what is bi-amp, and do we need to worry about that when using a single cab?
We are total noobs I apologize, but we wish to learn, or at least I do.
