munkonthehill Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 just a quckie what output would you get with a 500watt at 2ohm head going into a 8ohm cab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Depends on the am and how it drives it power as far as I'm aware (correct me if I'm wrong). What amp are you looking at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickH Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I'm not familiar with that head and the work PC makes searching for things a bit awkward. If it's a valve head, IE not just a preamp valve but vales in the power section, you don't want to under-load it any more than you'd want to overload it. If it's transistor, go ahead and fill your boots with the 8 ohm cab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xgsjx Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 You do realise you could pop 2 of those 15" cabs under your 4x10 & run the lot off your amp*. * provided both 15s are 8 ohm & your 4x10 is 4 ohm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
