nemesis Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 have to admit I'm a bit naïve on the ohm issue folks. about to buy a markbass 104hf "4" or "8" ohm cab to accompany my genz 12.2 shuttlemax but i'm unsure why I should go for a particular ohm spec ??. I'm aware of the many configurations the genz will allow but what's the logic ?.. is it a case of "if I add a cab later then they should really both be 4 o 8 ohm ?. should I be going for a particular spec for maximum wattage output?. thanks in advance Quote
xgsjx Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 8 ohm. 8 & 8 make 4 when it comes to ohms. Even if you're not planning on adding a cab, go for the 8 ohm as the difference in volume is so little it's hardly worth wearing your amp out for. Quote
yorks5stringer Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 Most MB amps run at 300w into an 8 ohm cab and 500 watts into a 4 ohm cab so into a 4 ohm cab will sound fuller and slightly louder. However MB will not run with 2x 4ohm cabs as it will blow the amp. I have no knowledge of GB amps however and if that would be the case too! Quote
nemesis Posted November 8, 2015 Author Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) the genz runs 2 separate power amps which will possibly confuse.... One 8 ohm load (either Amp A or Amp B driven)...375 watts - One 4 ohm load (either Amp A or Amp B driven)...600 watts - Two 8 ohm loads (Amp A and Amp B driven)...750 watts - One 4 ohm load (Amp A) and one 8 ohm load (Amp ...975 watts - Two 4 ohm loads (Amp A and Amp B driven)...1200 watts Edited November 8, 2015 by nemesis Quote
