Does it fit: Bugera Veyron Tube amp & Markbass 151p + 102p?

[Lysander]

Hello everyone,

At the moment I use a Bugera Veyron Tube amp with a Markbass Traveler 151p.
Now I have the possibility to buy a Markbass Traveler 102p.

The question is, can I run this three things together without destroying something? If I can run them together how to connect them ?

I'm a noob in this, so thanks a lot for your answers

Welcome to TB!
When connecting cabinets to an amp, you need to know the minimum load it will be happy with. In the case of your Bugera, the minimum is 4 ohms.
1 x 8 ohms cabinet = 8 ohms total = okay
2 x 8 ohms cabinets = 4 ohms total = okay
1 x 4 ohms cabinet = 4 ohms total = okay
2 x 4 ohms cabinets = 2 ohms total = NO!

The 151P is an 8 ohms cabinet.
The 102P can be ordered as either 4 or 8 ohms. Make sure you get the 8 ohms version.

Use Speakon cables with genuine Neutrik connectors to connect the head and cabinets.
There are two ways to connect everything up: neither is better than the other.
Option 1
Bugera speaker output A —> cabinet A input, cabinet A output —> cabinet B input.
The connectors on the cabinets are in parallel so it doesn’t matter which you use.

Option 2
Bugera speaker output A —> cabinet A input
Bugera speaker output B —> cabinet B input
Never connect both amplifier outputs to the same cabinet.

Thank you.

I asked the seller and the 102p is in 4 Ohm. This means that I can't use it with my current stack? Or can I still connect it to the second output (option 2)?

Your explanation is super useful

No, you cannot use it with your 115 because combined, the total impedance will be less than the minimum 4 ohms that the amp will support.

You cannot use a 4 ohm and 8 ohm cabinet together if the head will only support a 4 ohm load as most amps do. I'd pass on the 4 ohm 102P and look for the 8 ohm version.

Drat, I left off that combination. Thanks to everyone else for stepping in.

No. Minimum 4ohms on that head. 8+8 or one 4. Those are your options.

Might the speakers in the 4 ohm 210 be re-wired for eight ohms?
And would that affect power handling? Contact the manufacturer if possible.

No, the only options would be 4 ohms and 16 ohms.
