farmer61 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 (edited) I have the option to either put 2 x 4 Ohm speakers into two stereo output ports or daisy chain into a mono port. If I daisy chain 2 x 4 ohm cabs, what is the ohm rating is it 4 or 2 ohm? Excuse terminology and hope makes sense. Thanks Edited June 22, 2011 by farmer61 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crez5150 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Yes it is in theory 2Ohm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless your amp is bridged for a 2ohm load. Do you have more amps to power the other speakers? If so, [url="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0017H52KI?tag=receiversamplifiers.fb-20"]this little device[/url] (one of which I happen to have for sale at a reasonable price) may well be your answer!!!

nottswarwick Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 What is the PA amp in question? Some (like my old QSC amps) will drive a 2 ohm load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Make a series lead. Then you can connect them as an 8ohm load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamPodmore Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) If the back of what your using looks like that, with 2 seperate outputs and one bridged, it is most likely 2 seperate power amps and you should be fine plugging a 4 ohm speaker into the left and right outputs. My bands PA is like this and we run a 4 ohm load on each side with ease. Liam Edited June 23, 2011 by LiamPodmore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
