aende Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Makes my 2 x 4 ohm cabs look like 1 x 8 ohm cab to my amp! Nice if your amp won't handle a 2 ohm load! A big thank you to OBBM; exceptional quality, works well and he is a nice bloke to deal with - Cheers Dave. Quote
obbm Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 It was a pleasure Jeff. All the sockets are Speakon/Jack combos so that you can use any mix of connectors. There is another version which is a one to two splitter which allows you to run two cabs from an amp with a single outlet. Useful if the cabs have single input connectors. Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 The next time I see a cheap genz neox2x12t cab I'm going to tempted! 4x12, two adjustable tweeters and 900watts Quote
molan Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Ok, so I'm a complete dumbass when it comes to stuff like this Would it be possible to have something similar that makes 2 x 4 ohm cabs appear as a single 4 ohm load to an amp? Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) In parallel as normal either from two amp outputs or linked cab to cab the impedance halfs hence most people have a pair of 8 ohm cabs and a 4 ohm minimum head, in series the impendances are added up so you would get 8 ohms which if all the amp gurus on here are correct then the fact your head is running at 8 ohm rather than 4 won't matter a jot but double the amount of cabs will, a lot! Plus you can always get 4 4x12 cabs and another series box for some 16x12 action Depending on your cabs you could put a switch on them to make the cabs series wired taking them up to 8 ohm then use them as normal giving the head a 4 ohm load.

[/quote] Sadly not Barry, but you can run the two cabs at 8-ohms and enjoy the extra air movement. Up until recently I've been running 2 Schroeder 1212Ls together as 8-ohms and never got anywhere near running out of steam. Quote
chris_b Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Dave, Can you make a box that works with an 8 ohm cab and a 4 ohm cab? Quote
obbm Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 It makes no difference what the impedances of the cabs are. Putting them in series will just add them so 8 + 4 will give 12-ohms. One of the things you need to consider however is whether the two cabs are in-phase or not but that can be easily checked. Quote

aende Posted June 27, 2013 Author Posted June 27, 2013 Used the cable splitter last night at rehearsal - GK1001RB ii and 2 x 4ohm 210 cabs. Works a treat! Quote
