jimmy23cricket Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Hello All, First post, so be gentle. I am currently running a TC BH250 head with 2 Hydrive 112 cabs. I need something else with more power and like the look of the LH500. The on-line manual has a warning though which states something along the lines of 600w at a minimum of 4 ohms should only be connected to this head. Would the two 112's (300w with switchable impedance 4 or 8 ohms) be ok with this head? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisK1975 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 If you set the 2 cabs to 8 ohms and connect them in parallel with normal speaker cable, that will present a load of 4 ohms to the amp, which will be fine. Didn't know the hydrive cabs had switchable impedance though, that really is useful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkin Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Switch both the cabs to 8 Ohm (for a combined impedance of 4 Ohms) and you're good to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonzodog Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I use a LH500 and am very happy with it. It is a very simple setup so not everyones cup of tea but i like the simplistic eq. i have never seen the bit about having 600w at 4ohm. I use mine with two TC elec BC212 at 250w each so i am only getting 500w at 4ohm not 600w. Never had a problem though and it never goes up past a quarter even at big gigs with no PA support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I`ve seen a bassist use the LH500/2xHD112 set-up and it sounded very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
