weepaul Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Greetings, Been offered a wee jam session, so I want to travel light. This is what I'm thinking of taking .......... Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0 Trace Elliot 1 X 15 (1153) 200 watts The amps min load is 4 ohms, and the cab is 8 ohms. Would this be okay ? I've been out of the loop for awhile so, I'm a bit rusty with this stuff. cheers, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Fitzmaurice Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Definition minimum: The [i]lowest[/i] acceptable value. 8 is higher than 4, so no worries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weepaul Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 Cheers Bill, thought it would be alright. Just didn't want to go ahead then blow all my gear up. Would there be any issues with the cab ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest monsterthompson Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 That is a 600w head at 4 ohms, so it will generate 375 watts at 8 ohms (per Genz). The cab is rated at 200w, so if you crank it and/or run a hot signal into it, you could damage the speaker. Go easy on the bass eq, probably cutting some as you crank the volume higher. Listen. When the speaker starts distorting, call Kenny Loggins because you are in The Danger Zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
