Impedance etc

I agree that the Z matcher is not an ideal choice for matching a cab to an amp. 

I don’t agree that you need a minimum 300 watts.  Though there’s plenty of threads about that already.

For bass you probably would need to use a 300 Watt amp if you were going also use an impedance matcher, as any setting that isn't a 1:1 match is going dissipate at leat 1/3 of the amp's power as heat through the resistors rather than sound through the speakers.
