Advice needed!!

I have 2 Orange 112 cabs and want to use my Warwick Gnome to power them. It only has one jack output on it. Can I connect that to one of them and then daisy chain to the other one? Sorry for the naivety, I've never done this before!!

That's why the cabs have two jacks. Make sure the impedance load isn't too low for the amp.

If they are 4 ohm cabs it is a no go unless your amp is a rare breed of 2 ohm capable kind. Unlikely.

 

2 x 8 ohm cabs should always be fine.

 

Once in a blue moon a cable or socket can be miswired. That can really mess with you mind. You would hear it as a dropout of most of the low end.

As above check the impedance of the Orange cabs. If they are 8ohm cabs then you can daisy chain two of them and you'll get a very noticable increase in volume. If they are 4ohm cabs your Gnome won't power them and will go into a fault mode when you play at any volume with a bit of a risk that you could damage your amp.

If there is any chance they could have non original drivers or they don't say they are 8ohm you should probably check.

 

That's a lot harder with speakons.

 

You would have to find your preferred way of getting a multimeter on the driver to measure DCR. Should be in the 5 to 6 ohm range for an 8 ohm cab. Impedance goes up when it is working to push air.
