210 TVX with my SVT 3 pro

[thekorean]

Right now at a local music shop there is a peavey 210 TVX for around 110. I was thinking of buying it for a practice cab but it is rated at 175/350. My 3 pro puts 275 watts out. My question is will the 350 cover me or should I look elsewhere?

Thanks

Whats the RMS of the cab?

if its 350watts RMS you'll be fine, especially because the 3 pro isn't a very loud head.

[thekorean]

if RMS means program than yes. If it is a synonym for continuous then no. Continuous would be 175w I think

The Peavey should be perfect. the cab is rated low, but puts out major punch.

[thekorean]

what I am worried about is that extra 75w will blow the speakers. I am glad to know it has some power.

[JimmyM]

if you keep it down below what will blow it, you will be fine.

[thekorean]

im assuming it will distort when it is close right?

[JimmyM]

it should, but not always. there was one guy on here who couldn't hear it distorting and POOF! but usually you do get a little warning.

I have tvx210 and ran a 500 watt head through it at what seemed a reasonable volume and without warning, 2 blown speakers.Those tvx's wont take alot.Run my lmiii through carvin brx210 and push it pretty hard,for a 210 the brx is the shiznit!

[thekorean]

i guess im going to look elsewhere for a cab. Thanks for all the replys

IT's a good deal..

Why not find an old mixer head and pair the 2 together.. there are some great Peaveys always for sale that will work great for this.. complete practice rig for about $160
