[quote name='david_l_perry' post='151507' date='Mar 5 2008, 08:25 AM']Lets say your 2 drivers are rated at 300w RMS @ 8ohms
Thats 600w RMS @ 4ohms when linked together (and it [i]really [/i]does not matter if you link the cabs together or straight into the amp contrary to the second post - if it was a single 2x12 cab you would only be feeding one cable from the amp.....)[/quote]
It doesn't matter, but it makes more sense to do it from both amp outputs. If you daisy chain, the first cable takes ALL the power down it, if you use both amp outputs, the power is split evenly across the two. There was a post by Oxblood or someone explaining this in terms of two bits of elastic and it makes sense, but I can't find it now. Basically, think of 2 equal weights, one on the end of each bit of elastic. If one bit of elastic is connected tot eh weight of the other, the first bit of elastic is holding twice the weight. If each bit of elastic is fastened to separate points (ie not together) then there is equal weight distribution between the elastic and one isn't holding both. Simple analogy, badly explained. It doesn't MATTER, but it DOES make a difference!
