Cheers guys!

Hi guys, I have just bought a Hartke ha5500 rated 550w @ 4ohms (my ashdown mag c210 just wasn't loud enough!). Anyway I have a 250w@8ohm Ashdown mag extension caninet and for the short term I may use this with hartke till I get a decent cab. From what I have read, am I right in saying that because the speaker is 8ohm the wattage to the speaker will be less (closer to the 250w speaker rating). With regard to buying a new cab, I will probably only buy & use 1 - should I ideally get a 550w or above at 4ohm? Cheers

Well, I had a feeling I was doing something wrong. I was using the pod cos i could get a bit more volume. That shouldn't be a problem now cos I just won a hartke ha5500 on eBay - now to find a decent cab to pair it with...

Hi All, So... a bit about myself. My names Alex and I play in a band called 'the simpletone'. I currently have a Fender Jazz bass (mexican) and an Ashdown evo2 Mag c210 amp. I also have a line 6 pod xt. Recently I have been experimenting using my Ashdown amp as a power amp and my pod as pre amp. I have joined the site because I always have little questions about the way I set up my gear and no one to answer them. So this forum should be good for me. Cheers Alex
