Smash Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Has anyone tried using 2 x Markbass 121P together as in stereo output then also disconnecting 1 to use as a full 4ohm stack? I like this idea but wondering what it may sound like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) I think either way would be just as loud as they're gonna move just as much air. I'd love to do the stereo thing though! The Bass Murf has had me wanting to for many yonks. edit to say I've seriously considered getting another 102P combo to do such a thing, but funds won't allow just now (& there's one for sale for £550 too!!!).

JTUK Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 hmmm... 2 300watt amps into 8ohms gives you 300watts. If you can unplug one amp and link the cab.. therefore using it as an extn cab, you'll get closer to 500watts into 4ohms. Why would you want the two combos...the extn cab on its own would be the cheaper lighter better option, IMO. The only reason why you would want a two channel amp is if you were to bi-amp...and this is a zillion miles away from that anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to know how 2 x combos would sound as I like the form factor, also hopefully be able to connect them together and disable one amp for a full 4ohm set up. if this is possible?

alexclaber Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 How does 300W+300W=300W but 250W+250W=500W?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBod Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 A very long time ago I experimented with two amps/biamping etc. I discovered a world of earth loop hums and odd phase cancellation effects (that made you inaudible in one part of the room but deafening elsewhere), and I quickly decided it was better just to get one big amp.
