1output for 2 speakers

Hello!
I saw an amp bundle on thomann.de. A Behringer bxr1800h head with two Hartke speaker. But on the head is only 1 speaker output. Can i play with 2 cabinets?

Do the cabs have a link jack? In other words, do the cabs have a single jack or two jacks?

The biggie is the cabinet impedances. If they are less than 8Ω each you cannot run both at the same time.

Since it's sold as a bundle by Thomann, you can probably figure the system is able to work together. Thomann would be making a huge mistake to bundle gear that would not function that way. So the cabs are probably 8 ohms each, but it is worth checking to be sure.

The speaker boxes probably have two jacks each, and you are supposed to connect the second jack of one speaker directly to the next speaker, in a chain.

I thought this was a 2 channel amp?? You can usually daisy chain most cabinets but as stated above, Stay within Impedance guidelines.

I'm not sure there is much to gain with a 2nd cab and the 180 watt head. I doubt you've maxed out the capability of the single cab

Only in that it has two preamp gain settings. Nothing else about it is two channels.

even if this is correct, you have increased the system sensitivity by 3 db and therefore will make better sue of the watts you do have.

The less watts you have, the MORE cabs you need to get loud.

Just looked at link, both cabs are 8ohm. Connect as RickenBoogie stated above.

I have a TC Electronic RH450 head. It has only one speaker output. I ordered two Hartke cabs from separate stores - a 410tp and a 210tp. Each sound great separately, but they both have only ONE input jack! HELP! How do I connect them all together?
