Skezza Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 My son has bought a secondhand superfly head 500watts, As yet he has no speaker cabs and we are looking for a couple of 4 ohm cabs. In the meantime he wants to know if he is ok using my trave elliot 1518 8ohm cabinet on one side and nothing on the other or must both side have a speaker attached. cheers in anticipation for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also check what is the min impedance of the Superfly, if it is 2ohm them two 4 ohm cabs will be fine, but if it is 4 ohm min then you will need two 8 ohm cabs.
