[quote name='billrasic' post='1070139' date='Dec 27 2010, 02:27 PM']hi i have an ash down 600w rms amp with a min load of 4 ohms and would like to know if it will run a 8x10 ashdown cab (800w 4 ohms) and a hartke 4x10 cab (400w 8 ohms)

thanks :)[/quote]

Without making yourself a special lead (or rewiring your cabs internally) you'd not be able to run both cabs at once... but why would you! A 4ohm 8x10 cab is getting the max from your amp and you'd surely be able to hear yourself, what benefit from adding another cab?

Look here. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=135"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=135[/url]

In short; your cabs if connected together via any combination of amp to cab or cab to cab using normal speaker leads will be in parallel.

Not without rewiring cabs or having special leads made up which if you get it wrong or they short could spell disaster!

In short the answer is 'No'.
