pal1972 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Right, ive got an ashdown LG1000 which i know is 2x500 at 4ohm. I run off one output into a markbass 2x10 (4ohm version) so this gives me 500w right? Now then, i 'm planning on using a second cab (ashdown mag15) which is rated at 8ohm. If i then connect the second output from the head into this 8ohm cab am i right in assuming that this will give me about 350w? so ishould in theory be getting around 800w total is that right? I really dont understand all this watt/ohms stuff!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont get suckered into the 'I [i]need [/i]a 15" to add more bass' view. Some do some dont...My own experiences have been mixed on this. You will [i]possibly [/i]be better off with another identical 2x10, if you get chance try both and make up your mind that way. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
