Craigster Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Hi all! Any advice if poss? I'm getting to grips with the whole impedance / resistance thing when considering matching amps & cabinets together. But just when I thought i was beginning to understand it all, I discovered an amp head that I wanted to buy but its rated resistance is '2.67 min' OHMS In my recent experience most amp heads that I've come across are rated at 4 OHMS. I want the option to run 2 x 8 OHMS cabinets together for larger gigs and 1 x 8 OHMS cab for smaller pub gigs. I know I'd be ok doing this with a 4 OHM head but whats the deal with a 2.67 OHM head?? The head I was looking at is a Blackstar Unity Elite 700W. Is this head suitable for 8 OHMS cabs? https://www.andertons.co.uk/blackstar-unity-700h-elite-700w-bass-head Thanks in advance everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundfreedom Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Yes. The 2.67 ohms is a minimum rating. So no problems at all. The 2 X 8ohm cabs would give you a total load of 4ohms. Well above the 2.67 minimum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunion Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 The 2.67 is to allow a 4 ohm and an 8 ohm to be used together or sometimes you see 3 8 ohm cabs which equates to the same 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
