scottblessed Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 recently, I've been thinking about running 2 amps into one cab. Currently I'm using a Mesa Boogie 400+ which can be used at 2, 4 or 8 ohms. I'm also using an Ampeg 8x10 at 4 ohms. Now the 8x10 can be split into 2 seperate 4x10s, making them 8ohms each, however, I was wondering if it would be possible to run the mesa AND a peavey 6505 guitar amp into the full 8x10, without splitting them in to two 4x10s.

Better off splitting it into two anyway, would be better all round. No reason to try and make the speakers do two things at once. I run a bass head and a guitar head into my 8x10 as two 4x10s, as my oldschool heads don't do 4 ohm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not unless you want dead amps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telebass Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Not a chance unless the cab is split. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottblessed Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 cool, thanks. Thought I had best check before I did something stupid. Not really fond of running the 8x10 as 2 seperate 4x10s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
