Ashdown Mag300H Bass Amp

[alexander_gbass]

Here is an amp I just cAme across,

And it’s saying rms , which is continuous power of 307watts
Now, as I read further it goes to 4 ohms

Since I’m running a single 8ohm 300 watt 4x10 cab, wouldn’t that drop to 180 watts ? Would I be under powering my cab ?

It’s been a struggle getting this cab up and running for me .. ughhhhhhh

Cheers and blessings

There is no such thing as underpowering a cab; you should be fine.

So long as you don't clip your amp in an effort to get to a volume level that isn't available . . . Having said that MAG amps require you to drive the pre to get a decent volume level. Use your ears as well as the VU meter, if you hear it distorting then turn the preamp down. Otherwise you'll be fine.

That would be overpowering a cab IMO .

AFAIK, a 300w Ashdown will run around 220w into 8 Ohms.

They do have Manuals on their site, so you can search for the appropriate one.

I have a MAG 300 2x12 combo, the book states 330w into 4 Ohms, 220w into 8 Ohms.

Should be pretty loud into the 410, based on the 410 you have. I wouldn't worry too much that it is an 8ohm cab, there are other things that effect overall volume just as significantly as resistance.
