Kevin Dean Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I'm thinking about getting a Ashdown 12" white coned lightweight cab to see how it compares to my barefaced super compacts , The Ashdown is rated at 300w & the Barfaced 600w both 8 ohms If both were connected to the same 4 ohm amp , would the Ashdown 300w cab be driven harder ?

Merton Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 No, the power is split by impedance, not the power handling of the driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Vincent Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 No.Power rating of the speakers is unimportant, as long as they're both 8 ohms they will both receive the same amount of power fro the amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el borracho Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Did you get one - I've been thinking of trying the same? If you did what was the result? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the White cone is pretty good ,It's actually a Blue line speaker . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Rock Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Like others say, not driven harder in that it would recieve the same power from the amp. However, the one with the lower rating may be so because of lower excursion/other reasons. Therefore it might be 'driven harder' ie pushed to its limit more.
