logicred Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Hi all, I have a MarkBass CMD102P combo (which is the Combo Head 2 amp and 2x10 speakers). I also have a matching Markbass 1x15 extension cabinet. After hearing an Aguilar Tone Hammer setup (I think with a 1x12 cab) I thought it sounded much better. I will shortly be taking deliver of a Aguilar TH350 amp only, but before I buy a 1x12 cab I was wondering if I can use the amp to drive the 2x10 or 1x15 Markbass speakers? The 1x15 has the speakon connector, but the 2x10 cab has a 1/4 connector which looks as though it won't fit in the back of the TH350. Thanks.

simonlittle Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 You can get a Speakon to jack cable for that. Any decent guitar shop will have one of those... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Or get our very own OBBM to make you one. Great quality cables at great prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logicred Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Thanks. I can't run both my cabs at the same time though can I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonlittle Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I'm sure you can run both at the same time. The TH500 has a plenty of welly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logicred Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 The 350 only has one speaker out that I can see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonlittle Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 [quote name='logicred' timestamp='1494853348' post='3298986'] The 350 only has one speaker out that I can see. [/quote] Sorry I misread and thought it was a 500. Even still if the cans have two connections you should be able to daisy chain them. Don't know the Markbass cabs but most other cans have two connectors... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonlittle Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 CABS!!! Not bloody cans!! Hate auto-correct so much!!! 😤 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logicred Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Superb, that makes sense. So the 350 can handle 175w into 8 Ohms. So I go from the speakon output of the 350 amp, then to my 1x15 8 ohm Mark bass cabinet, then daisy chain to my 2x10 Mark bass cabinet with a speakon adapter.

simonlittle Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I'd imagine so. My knowledge comes unstuck as soon as people start talking about impedance but I think problems only occur when driving cabs that are too small with an overly powerful amp. Hopefully someone a bit more tech savvy will chime in with the specifics but I'd say daisy-chaining would work a treat. I used to daisy chain my two SL112's out of my old Warwick LWA100 with no issues. Got a TH500 now so don't have to do that anymore...

Treb Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) You can indeed daisy chain two 8 ohm cabs to a TH350. The TH350 can handle that and will be able to deliver its full power. Only use one of these setups:[list] [*]1x 8 ohm cab (175 W) [*]2x 8 ohm cab (350 W) [*]1x 4 ohm cab (350 W) [/list] I had my TH350 hooked up to 2x 4x8" cabs. Works well! I keep the TH350 as backup since I have a GK Fusion 550. Edited May 15, 2017 by Treb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
