    Mismatched speaker ohms?

    Hi everyone. I’ve been reading posts here for a few years now and it’s finally time that I need to get in here and ask some questions. I’ll start by saying that I’ve been building pedals for a several years but I’m new to messing with amps and cabs. I’ve recently acquired an old 2x15 Kustom...

    Amp Cab Setup

    I just purchased a Little Mark iv 300w amp and the mark bass mb58r 102 pure bass cab 4ohms. I just realized the amp is rated at 8 ohms. Did I make a mistake in not buying an 8 ohm cab

    Random ohm/amp question

    Quick question because I’ve been looking at some new amps but I’ve never bought anything but a combo amp. If I’ve got a 1000w @ 4 ohm head going into a singular 500w @ 8 ohm cab, do I have to keep the volume below 12 o clock to keep from blowing the speaker out? Or does the difference in ohms...

    Horns impact on 8 to 4 ohm driver swap in a Ampeg PR-15h

    I would like to put a 4 ohm speaker (of appropriate wattage) into the cab . Will the horn's ohm rating impact the overall load on the amp? Can I can just disconnect it to eliminate worry? I would like to keep it, but ill ditch it if it will cause an issue.

    The number of speaker cones...

    ...changes what? Does it even change anything? Or should I just care about the frequency response, the ohms and the practicality of the cab? Would a 2x10 sound different to a 4x10 at the same volume?

    Two cabs/cabinets parallel vs Series

    Two cabs, each 8ohm. Connecting parallel maths is easy: 2x8ohm=4ohm. Does anyone know how to calculate load when connecting series (I understand it's also called daisy chain?).

    Can I run a 240w amp at 8ohms into a 200w RMS speaker at 8ohm

    I have a Hartke HA3500 which would output 240w at 8ohms with a single cab. Can I safely run an Ampeg SVT210AV which is rated for 200w RMS at 8ohms. Or would this be harmful to the speaker? thanks for help guidance!!

    Clipping risk? Matching a 350w head with a 500w 8 ohm cab
