E sharp Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Hi guys Got a big rally gig tomorrow , and thinking about bringing along all of my cabs . Just cause I only get the chance once a year , and want to hear what it all sounds like . Gonna bring a 5.3 ohm 610 , 4 ohm 410 and 8 ohm 210 . Borrowing a power amp , and slaving out of my amp . Am I right in thinking that if I hook up the 5.3 ohm 610 and 8 ohm 210 together , that'll make 4 ohms ? Then the 4 ohm 410 can be run off of the other side of the amp . Overkill I know - he he , but just fancy a monster rig for the first time , as it's rare I get any room on stage , and I'm gonna have bags of it tomorrow . Think I'm correct with the ohmage , but just thought I'd ask . Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essexbasscat Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I don't know the answer to your question Paul, but I'd really like to hear some feedback about the sound if the plan comes together Hope the gig goes well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOD2 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Running 5.3 ohms and 8 ohms in parallel will create a load of around 3.2 ohms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 One cab off each side of the power amp and one from your proper amp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 When are you on? I'll go out into the back garden and have a listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
