gub Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Sorry if this sounds stupid but I confess watts ,ohms , and all confuses the hell out of my little brain ! I have an orange terror 500 head which ATM run in to a trace Elliot 2x10 8 ohm 300 watt cab , all seems fine but would like a bit more power for the larger gigs we do and have seen a 115 trace Elliot cab also rated the same as the one I am using now , would this be a good match s an extension cab do you think ? Ta in advance folks Gav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I'd get another 8 ohm 210 but if you have to have the 115 it will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1348408170' post='1813217'] I'd get another 8 ohm 210 but if you have to have the 115 it will be fine. [/quote] me too, that would be my choice..and maybe lighter/smaller....but the 15 will be ok... I've had some great sounds out of 210 plus 115 and if the cabs are matched, I am sure it will work really well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 (edited) IMO, no. Another 8 ohm TE 2x10 would be a good match. Took me taht long to write that, everyone knew what I was writing! Edited September 23, 2012 by xgsjx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 The benefit of having the same 210 again is that, as well as the techie stuff about speaker excursion etc, for rehearsals you can use 1 cab, for gigs when you need more sound/power, you can then use the 2. Whereas with the 210 & 115 set-up - which usually works very well - for "your" sound, you are then dependent on using both cabs all the time. This can take some of the fun away from it all, having amp, 2 cabs, bass, leads etc to carry to rehearsals every time. And 115s are usually rather heavy.

brensabre79 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I'd make sure its the same 2x10 as the one you have though, if you get a different 2x10 you'll run into similar problems to getting a 1x15 in terms of EQ. I.E the settings you need to apply for one speaker may make the other speaker sound worse because they have a different flat sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
