Setting up two cabs - best way?

[aidanhallbass]

I will be looking to put my hartke LH1000 head on two HX410 1000w cabs

How is the best way to cable them up?

The options I think are,

1. head to top cab using channel A and bottom cab using channel B (which is how i've done it befroe) Or

2. Out from head using Speakon to top cab, then out from top cab to bottom cab, or

3. out from head channel A to top cab (1/4 jack) to top cab then top cab out to bottom cab..

Any wrong way or right way? What power would be used? 8ohm 4ohm??

[/quote]Option 1, one cab per channel. There's no advantage to the others.

As I have a preference for Speakons for speaker connections I bridged my LH1000 and daisy chained from the head to the first 410 and out of the first in to the second.

If you want to make use of the balance control then option A will allow this. It is disengaged when you bridge the two 500w power amplifiers together for option B

I'd not do option 3 even if you do use the balance control to attempt to mute channel B. it is infact still outputting signal, but you won't have a speaker connected.
