bobbytodd Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 i was talking to another bass player last night at our gig and he asked me a question that i didn't know the answer to so i thought id ask on here he has a peavey max450 head 1 4ohm cab and 2 8ohm cabs.if he was to put the 4ohm cab into one speaker jack and then daisey chain the 2 8ohm cabs from the other would the amp see a 2ohm load or less.just to be on the safe side i told him not to do it rob Quote
Dad3353 Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 Good afternoon, Rob... As far as impedance is concerned, loading the amp, the answer is 'Yes, the amp will have a 2 ohm load, which it is, according to it's spec, capable of handling'. Whether these amps are 'safe' running full bore for long periods into such a load, I can't say. Hope this helps... Quote
bobbytodd Posted December 9, 2012 Author Posted December 9, 2012 cheers mate.the cheeky git also asked if i would swap my streamliner and focus cabs for his rig....erm no chance was the reply Quote
Mr. Foxen Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 Depends if the daisy chain is series or parallel. Quote
Spike Vincent Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 Assuming a 2 ohm load,should be ok.I've run Peaveys at 2 ohms for extended periods with no problems. Quote
