Possibly Noob Question..

[Myke]

Due to a very kind Ian Savage I am now the owner of a Marshall 1x15 DBS. The back says 8ohms power handling 300w RMS.

My question is if I bought a speakon to jack would I be able to power the cab through my 100w Roland Cube amp?

I ask because I know nothing about amps and cabs so it's all over my head atm.

Cheers for the help. Please be kind

Is your Marshall a combo or a cab ? My google search came up with both.

Anyway, whichever it is, if you have a power amp output from the Roland Cube and an input to the cab (or cab portion of a combo), then you should be able to power the Marshall with the Roland. Just make sure that the Roland amp can handle an 8 ohm speaker load, it certainly should be able to, but please check first.

That sounds fine then. The cab can handle 300W, so the output from the 100W Roland will be no problem for it. Just check that the Roland amp can handle an 8 ohm load ... edit, just looked at the manual and it can. OK, you are all good to go .... once you have the correct connecting cable - and make sure it is a speaker cable, not an instrument cable as you will fry an instrument cable with speaker cable type currents.
