    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...

    Just got this wonderful little amp. It’s for those times I didn’t want to haul out the heavier guns. I’ve tried a few smaller amps and found they couldn’t handle any volume. I wanted an amp that I could turn up a little and not sound like the speaker was going to blow. I found this beauty for...

    Choosing a Cabinet

    I have an Ampeg BA-210 and want to add an additional cabinet. The specs show that the combo alone has 283 watts for the 210, and that an 8 ohm cabinet can be added that will allow the full 450 watts from the amp to be utilized. My question is how to choose the best cabinet to pair with this...

    Is 167 Watts really worth $300

    I have an Ampeg BA210 that makes 283W in and of itself. With the 8Ohm extension cab that should go up to 450W. But is the difference in wattage or loudness worth the extra $300 the extension cab is going to cost. IME 167W is negligible in as much as being heard. Am I right? Am I wrong? Am I...

    Ampeg Heritage SVT-410HLF 2011 Bass Cabinet (500 Watts, 4x10") Opinions?

    I need a cab I can put on a plane (weight limit 100 lbs) and bring out here to Peru to stay and want at least a 410 cab to match a 70's SVT head which means it has to be a 4 ohm cab. This weighs 76 lbs which is that bad. The regular 410 HLF weighs more than 100 lbs and so does the 610 HLF. Other...

    Amp Wattage help

    I'm in a 3 piece hard rock band and I'm wondering what wattage would be best to get my sound through. Why is there such a wide range (250w - 1000w) when it comes to bass? When guitar is alot lower. I'm originally a guitar player so I'm new to bass. I'm wondering what is a decent wattage amount.

    Amp & Cab Compatible?

    Hey everyone, I'm new to this, so please go easy on what may be a dumb question. Could I use a Hartke LH500 amp head (500 watts at 4 ohms) with a Hartke 4x10 Transporter cab (300 watts at 8 ohms). I'm still figuring out watts and ohms and amps and how it applies to speakers. Thanks!!!

    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?
