AsterL Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I have a question about ohms. If lets say for instance a Eden wtx 264 is 300 watts at 4 ohms. If I plug both of the speaker outputs in to a ashdown abm 210 a 8 ohms cab, would it then become a 300 watt rig at 4 ohms, or 150 watts at 8 ohms (which is what it would be if only one input was used.) ? I'm looking to get both of these, tried the eden head at my local guitar shop today, didnt think it was loudest thing ever, but sounded great. totally what I'm after tonally. My other option is to get their wtdi pedal and have that drive a power amp into the cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you run a 300W @ 4Ω amp into an 8Ω cab then you're effectively pushing 150W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man, I'll try and find a 4 ohm cab. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 300w/4 ohm amp will actually deliver about 200w into 8 ohms, and it's highly doubtful your 2x10 can make use of even 150w before the drivers reach their excursion limits. Not loud enough? Add another identical cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
