Protium Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Does anyone know the minimum impedance cabinet you can connect to the speaker out? And does this cut power to the internal speaker? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennifer Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Might well be useful... [url="http://forum.orangeamps.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4538&SearchTerms=orange,crush,speaker,external"]http://forum.orangeamps.com/topic.asp?TOPI...peaker,external[/url] In short - the amp kicks out 35w at 4ohms. The built in speaker is 4ohm. The unknown is if it automatically breaks the link to the internal speaker. If it doesnt, and you hook up a 4ohm extension cab to it, the amp will see 2ohms and become quite unhappy. What are you trying to achieve by driving an extension cab? As really 35w of bass really isn't going to be too loud whatever speaker you use is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mate has a spare 8ohm driver knocking about which I was gona make up into a mini-cabinet, but by the sounds of it the internal speaker will get cut off so there's no point. Extension cab (usually) = more volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protium Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 (edited) Wow, the reply from Orange was really helpful... -----Original Message----- From: Adrian Emsley <[email protected]> To: Me Sent: Tue, 9 Sep 2008 9:26 Subject: Crush 35B The Crush 35B runs at 8 ohms only. [b]UPDATE: IS THIS GUY HIGH?[/b] No it does not mute the speaker. The Crush 35B is a practice amp and does not really have the power required for playing bass with live drums. You need at least 200 watts for that. On 10 Sep 2008, at 15:11, ********** wrote: > So the minimum impedance for the speaker out is 8ohms?

Protium Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 Allegedly Emsley designed these amps yet (after 4 emails of nonsense/avoiding the question) gives out duff info about them... For future reference: Connecting an extension speaker will CUT power to the internal speaker, leading me to believe that you can connect a 4ohm cabinet to this output. (I tested with an 8ohm since that's all I have handy atm) RH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
