    Amp cab distorting??

    I’ll keep this quick. I’m running a 500 watt amp through a couple 10s. The amp is 500 watts at 4 ohms. The two 10s are 16 ohms, combined to make 8 ohm load or whatever…Thus I’m running 250 watts. WHY IS IT DISTORTING IF I COULD THEORETICALLY PUMP DOUBLE THE WATTS??? It distorts at high...

    Eich T-1000 Wattage Questions

    Hello my fellow bassists! I was wondering how many watts I would get if I run only one 8 ohms cab on channel A or B? I've been looking around the web but the only 8 ohms wattage listed is for running the amp in bridge (700 watts). I'm interested in running the amp in parallel, having the...

    Watts/Ohms for Speaker cab

    Got a question for the gear heads out here. I'm looking at buying a new bass cabinet for my TH500. Most cabs I'm looking at within my price range are sold at 8ohms. The TH500 runs 250W at 8ohms, so if a cab advertises itself as 400W RMS (with 8ohm impedance), would that mean that the most power...

    Minimum 4 Ohm Load Head? 4 Ohm Cab?

    Running a 16 ohm and 8 ohm cabinet at 5.33 ohms

    Hello, I have a question regarding the safety of running a 5.33 ohms load? Both of my bass Amps can handle a load of 4 ohms which I've seen on other threads is "close enough" to 5.33 ohms to run an 8 ohm and 16 ohm cab together, but my question remains. Is this safe? For example on the Hughes...

The amp's starting to sound a little flubby (you know what I mean, right?) and muddy. I haven't taken...

    Speaker box config Question

    Setting up a bass half stack

    I’m saving up for a new amp and decided to go with Gallien-Krueger. I’ll probably go with the MB 800 head. Would it be a good idea to use a Neo 4x10 cab? If so, should I use 4 ohms or 8 ohms?

    Ampeg PF-800 into PF-115LF

    I think I understand this, but just to be sure I thought I'd check in with you all: I'm running an Ampeg PF-800 (800w into 4 ohms) into an Ampeg PF-115LF (400w/8 ohms). My thinking is that the 8 ohm cab will choke the amp down to 400w, which will be fine. Right?
