___---___ Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 On a whim (how very typical of me) I have just purchased a series 1 UL110. It is rated at 8ohms. The print on the back of my UL502 says that the load must be a minimum of 4ohms. Seeing as the speaker is small, and the amp relatively powerful, will I be able to use this set up? And yes, I plan to use a solitary UL110. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexclaber Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Minimum load means your amp isn't rated to drive a sub 4 ohms nominal load, so the 8 ohm load of the UL110 will be fine. The only problem you're likely to run into is loudness especially in the lows - if you have to keep up with a drummer expect to hear distortion if things are getting loud. This distortion serves as a warning that if you carry on like this you'll blow the speaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
___---___ Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 Ok, cool. Surely it won't distort at low levels? I bought such a small cabinet solely for bedroom use you see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
