HeadLove Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Sorry if this is obvious and I feel like I should know, I just wanted to be sure before I try.... I have a Warwick Quad IV head and Eden Nemesis 2 x 10 cb(8 Ohms, 300watt) The quad IV is 4 Ohms, 400 Watt so is it OK to use it with this cab? I assume the head will run at 8 Ohms at half the power but it doesn't say anywhere in the documentation (or on the net that I can find) that it will do that..... Thanks in advance.

Mog Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Aye. Running a single 8ohm cab will get between 200-300 odd watts out of the head. It should be perfectly fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icastle Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 It's not half power exactly but yes, you can use your 2x10 quite safely with that amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Fitzmaurice Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 It's OK to run any amp with any cab so long as there's no impedance mis-match. If the amp is powerful enough to cause the speakers to distort turn it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Note that impedance matching rules are different for valve and solid state power stages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
