Oh boy! Popcorn time! 😃

That I get! 😂 I'll give that info a little time tonight, thanks you guys, I appreciate the interest and help!

The math before me is like an irritating repellant before a garden-pillaging rodent. 😂 Ok, fair enough, I stand corrected.

The guy who's been repairing my amps the last 6 or so years there me that measuring at 1KHz takes less power than lower frequencies, so the rated power brings a higher number. This is incorrect?

Power is measured differently than it used to be. The numbers get blown up and it seems like power just ain't what it used to be. It is, it's just sold "differently"... Advertising...

I remember drooling over the SMX line in '95...

Old school dub reggae players could get with that I think.

Thanks everyone for posting. 😎👍

I like the presentation and then bringing in some mids with the graphic.

This about honest ratings hits the mark. My tech friend says similar about how power is now rated at 1k, which isn't really honest low end. It requires more power to reproduce low end, so you get higher, impressive numbers.

Thank you guys.

I've got a kind of prog-ish doom style original band, I play bass. I'm in process of getting a Mk IV head cleaned up and installed in a plywood sleeve I made, and I'm thinking about running it into an Ampeg PR410HLF cab, 600w @4 ohms. The Mk IV is rated at 250w, 4 ohms. In my experience, Trace heads seem to deliver more than that. I'm thinking this'll be loud as Godzilla with a stubbed toe in a mix with two loud guitars and big drums, playing some melodically complex bass lines. Can I get witness?
