Acoustic B200 combo with Ampeg SVT 410 he hooked on - Sounds Good!

Tried it out - sounds awesome! With the series wiring the two 8 ohm speakers equal a 16 ohm load, which the combo amp has no problem with. Volume is plenty loud, sound is GREAT!

The two 8 ohm speakers equal 4ohms, not 16. You have them running in parallel, not in series.

The B200 was my first big amp. It was pretty nice as I remember it. I really liked the eq section and the notch filter was pretty sweet. I ran a BDDI into mine and really liked the sound.

Nope.The B200 IS in series, which is why I got rid of it. Crazy, huh?

Needed more than 60 watts

I had that combo.
Sounded sweet, but was pretty heavy.
Sold it, but wish I still had it.
Cool deal on the extension cab.
