hi folks,
Bet this has been asked before but can't find a solid answer...
Am I OK running my amp (Ashdown ABM) with a 16ohm cab? I know that doing so will reduce power compared to an 8ohm cab, I don't mind that, but is it going to do any damage to the head at all. I think not, but want to be sure.
The idea is to run a very portable 16ohm 1x10 cab that would see about 1/4 of the rated power of the amp as a little practice amp, leaving me free to add an 8ohm 2x10 (and a third cab if i was really in need of volume, but I can't see that ever happening). That way the three 10 inch drivers each see the same amp power.
I can imagine folk wondering why not just 2 x 210s, but I want to keep one cab v compact.
Cheers all.
