KPA (Beginner)

dmvaughn11 · Mar 31st 2017

Does anyone know if you can connect the KPA to (2) regular Peavey non-powered 4x12 speaker cabinets ?
Im sorry if this is a dumb question but im having problems getting assistance. Im told you can do it, that your supposed to be able to do it, thus the 600 watt KPA, but I cant figure it out.
when I connect the speakers, I can only barely hear the guitar out of the speakers.

I am also having problems getting the full volume that should be available when I connect to my Roland JC120. It should blow my windows out but dosnt. Its loud, but nothing to what it should be able to do. My Roland JC120 is louder by itself.

I assume I have something setup wrong, configured wrong, etc.

Would very much appreciate any assistance, I play on a worship team and I need to have more volume.

Thanks in advance,

I don't use a Powered KPA, but I can get you started:

To use a 4x12 cabinet, connect the Red Output jack of the KPA to the Speaker input jack of the cabinet, using a speaker cable. Turn up the Master Volume of the KPA.

There's a poweramp boost in the output menu.
Make use of it if volume is not sufficient (provided the speakers can take the power).

What are the ohms of each cab? If you put them together that will be diff to, you just want to make sure it matches to the kemper.

Also, how do you hook them up? The Kemper has a single poweramp output. Do the Cabs provide a "Daisy Chain" option or parallel with a Y-Cable? All this changes the Impedance of the cabs...
