I was wondering about this and thought I would ask...
Why is the ampeg 1x15 (Svt-15e or b-115e) only able to handle 200 watts at 8 ohms?
It just seems ridiculously low, and after looking at the specs for ampeg heads, I can't find any of their amps that would be able to be used with just a 1x15 at 8 ohms and not be too much power for their 1x15 or even any that would be fine at 4 ohms with 2 of their 1x15's!
As far as I understand, a lot of them mean that I couldn't even combine a 410 and 115 as at 4 ohms, most amps would still be giving it more than 200 watts?!
Is it just me that finds this silly, or have I got something wrong?
Eg, if like I do, I have 2 1x15 8 ohm ampeg cabs, the list of their amps that I CAN'T use is -
B2RE, SVT 3 pro, SVT 4 pro, SVT 7 pro, SVT 8 pro, SVT CL, SVT 450h etc etc...
If I am wrong, please site right, but as far as I can read it, I for example, couldn't put an SVT 3pro through my 2 ampeg 8 ohm 1x15 cabs??
