Tav Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 Yes...but you run the risk of blowing up the cabinet.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skuzzlebutt Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 is it possible to match heads with more wattage than a cab with less?dan...just which head are u thinking of hooking up to which cab???...as long as the impedances are acceptable...ie large enough load impedance to the selected o/p impedance of the head is an important prerequisite... as for power....if u keep the volume low you are limiting the o/p current to the cab and hence the power...and u might be ok... as tav said...u run the risk of burning out your speakers... and if it is a valve head...u will have no load on the o/p stage and pop goes your head too...

Daniel Posted May 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 ok i was hoping to link a Behringer ULTRABASS BX3000T with a Behringer ULTRABASS BB410 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted May 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 ow by the way my first post was i asked the wrong question, "is it possible to match a lower wattage head with a higher cab?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tav Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 That's the whole point really. For example a Marshall DSL 50watt amplifier head will be paired with a 300watt Marshall cabinet usually. My Ashdown MAG300 produces 307watts and goes into a 450watt cabinet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skuzzlebutt Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 ow by the way my first post was i asked the wrong question' date=' "is it possible to match a lower wattage head with a higher cab?"[/quote']no sweat... just make sure the impedances- input to output are happy...and u should be all set...

Tav Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 I went to the site for a look and couldn't see the products? What's the out put of the amp and what is the cab rated at? As your friend said impdences are important too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tav Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 1200watt 3 speaker cab...never seen that before.Nice to see them trying to rip off the Ashdown VU meter and just make it look tacky...damn that company and their idea stealing/copying ways! EDIT: Wait a minute that thing looks a bit too much like my MAG300...and it says it has a sub harmonics generator...can anyone else say rip off?

threeornothing Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 The entire Behringer range is a rip off, the most notable of which being the MX8000 desk which is arip of the Mackie 24:8 , or their blatant rip off of the legendary Aphex Aurel Exciter, which won them a lawsuit...Mr. Behringer claimed he invented the technology, yet when they lost in court they scrapped their product saying they no longer believe it to be a good effect (despite the legendary status of the original product!!!)That said...their price range agrees more with my wallet than the other manufacturers out there....

IamScrooge Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 That said...their price range agrees more with my wallet than the other manufacturers out there....Yeah but you just pay for what you get.You're getting the lowest grade possible components they can get away with in anything you buy from them.Do you really want to buy equipment that has the lowest grade, cheapest grade of components in anything you buy?Do you want to buy from, and therefore fund a company which disrespects intellectual property?
