Thanks for your advice. Much appreciated. 

This is the amp I want the cube to go into. It has the c d in which I was thinking or going into

I'm coming out of a 20w cube and into my main amp which is a behringer ultrabass bx3000h

I'm still a bit unsure what to do

 I thought you could plug headphone from another source to aux in on my amp. Isn't that what you can do to play along to your favourite tracks

This man's advice is never to be ignored.

Or can I plug the headphone from modelling app to the aux in on my main amp 

Thanks I will try that

Thanks . I really don't know weather to just use A multi FX pedal . 

Thanks that's  great help

Does anyone have any ideas about plugin my bass into a modelling amp then plug that into my main amp so I can get different sounds? I heard I can do this if I use a low wattage modeling amp and keep the volume low and use my main amp for more volume, but don't want to damage anything

It's probably worth going over the whole driver and the cab itself. If it's an old speaker sometimes the dust cone in the middle or even the corrugated surround  start to come loose as the glue hardens and breaks over time. anything loose in the cab will sound and anything not screwed down properly or even the speaker grille might be making a noise.

Thanks I will check everything over the weekend

Maybe you have a loose wire resting on the cone? Have yo taken the driver out and had a look?

 

Yeh not that

Fuzzy notes doesn't sound right. Maybe the driver has a problem or there might be an issue in the amp.

Does it with both amps think it could be speaker or venting

Define "struggle". Define "house practice"! Sounds like you are playing a lot louder than I do at home! The difference between 8 ohms and 4 ohms at home shouldn't be so noticeable. Are you sure the 400 is the watts and not just the model number?

You can connect 2 8 ohm cabs or 1 4 ohm cab and your amp is at it's max. That's fine, but you can't mix 4 and 8 ohm cabs because that will look like 2.67 ohms to your amp and that is beyond what it can handle. I don't know Behringer amps but depending on how clever the designers were, but at 2.67 ohms, you might see the amp just power off when it gets too hot or you could cause damage to the amp.

Thanks for that advice. Yeh it is definitely 400w speaker, but there seems to be sent sort of fuzz there especially if I longer on a note. Maybe my cab needs venting as there is nothing to let the bass out. Don't know if that would make the sound better

Thanks Bill. That's very technical for me

I have a Laney bc75 for house practice but someone had swaped the speaker for a rubbish one. So I swapped it for a 400w 8 ohm so I could also use the cab with my Behringer Ultrabass 300. What's confused me is my 300 is 300w at 4 ohm or150w at 8 ohm. Am I right in thinking if I put two 8 ohm I will still get 300w or could I mix and put a 4 and 8 ohm together. The 400w speaker seems to struggle which I didn't think it would if my amp is only 300w. Any ideas

Yes I meant to say 2 at 8 ohms . Thanks for that advice I will stick to the 2 at 8 ohm

Thanks. Maybe I will just use the two 8 Ohm 150w speakers as I don't want to damage the amp. Can that be done. I never have it over half volume.

Hi I need a bit of help with all these ohms which I have no understanding of these. I have an EB 180 and I have upgraded the speaker to a Soundlab 1041f. its a 15 inch 400 W speaker rated at 8 ohm. My question is can I add the original blue line 150 W speaker which I have put in a cab, its rated at 4 ohm? I dont want to add too much and cause damage to my amp. Help please

Gary

I have an ibanez soundgear sr300 but have just seen an ibanez srx500 is this worth swapping from the 300 to the 500.is the 500 that much better and what's the action like on these as my 300 not that bad. I need some advice please help
