it's a power amp to be used with an acoustic 360 preamp so you can drive unpowered cabs (the 361 was a powered 18" cab).

It's simply a power amp so use it like you would any other. It will support a 2ohm load too. Great deal for $85 smackeroos!

Yes - and most PA's now days.

Even if i'm pretty sure wood stock was powered by 10x Mcintosh 350w tube amplifiers.

Just use a LINE OUT to drive out your acoustic 300.

Ah the looks are the only thing those two pieces have in common. Those two amps are not the same manufacture, not even close. The one you just picked up was made by Acoustic Control Corp in California, your B600H is a GC house brand made overseas.

and kramerbassfan what do you mean about just use the line out on the 300 to drive it..sorry i just dont understand what you mean

Effects send (or line out) on the B600H, connect to the 300's input and hookup additional cabs to the 300.
