Skywalker83 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Ok i'm downsizing my amp, and really fancy going for a Superfly (500w @ 4 Ohms). Cab wise im using a PJB 4B cab (8 ohms) , and i plan on buying another one of these cabs soon. I've noticed that the Superfly has 2 speakon outputs, one for each internal power amp. what i'm wondering is, if i run each cab from each output will i get the the full 500W capability of the amp? or will it be less, as each output is going into an 8 Ohm cab? Also if i use only one 8 ohm cab (not all gigs will require the 2 cabs) from one output, how much power will i get? Any help appreciated.

Heres the link for the Sfly 1000 anyway [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Ashdown-Superfly-1000~ID~11117.asp"]http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~A...00~ID~11117.asp[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynepunkdude Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Might also be worth looking at the Little Giant 1000 [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product.asp?id=8585"]http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product.asp?id=8585[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I asked Ashdown - I wanted to find out if I was better off using an 8 ohm in each power output rather than paralleling the two speakers and running 4 ohms off one output. With an 8 ohm load, the output per channel is about 175W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
