Ampeg pn-410hlf?

TheNightLife · #1 04-22-2011, 04:29 PM

Does anyone know why Ampeg isnt making the pro neo 410hlf in a 4ohm setup? you would think itd be 4ohm like the standard 410hlf. im looking for a light weight 4x10 cab thats 4ohms and i can run my svtcl through it. i was really interested in the pro neo ampegs but I dont want an 8ohm cab. any ideas? or reccomendations?

After a quick search on the web, i found out that the PN-410 is 8ohms 850w RMS

Yea i said that. im asking why its only an 8ohm cab as opposed to a 4ohm cab like the standard 410hlf. It doesnt really make that much sense to me to make an 8ohm cab thats 850 watts rms when most amps are even doing close to that at 4ohms let alone 8ohms

Is it possible to wire this cab down to 4ohms?

Short answer - NO

Why would you want to anyway ? (please DO NOT say "to get all the watts from my amp" either)

lol no. it has nothing to do with watts its just that i use an svtcl.

Gotcha

Don't know "why" it is not available in a 4 ohm cab. You would think with Ampegs buying power, they could have any speaker they want produced in whatever ohm configuration they needed ????

it might be possible to wire it to 2 ohms the svt cl can handle 2 ohms right?

good point...would be nice in your case, but i figure ampeg assumes those who are using neos would also be using lighter heads as well, so it makes more sense that they'd make them 8 ohms to allow for expandability.

The Pro Neos came out around the time of the 7PRO and 8PRO. I think Ampeg has intended for these to be mated with each other, not that you have to...

weird. i see the pn210 is 8ohms as well which i would assume means there using different speakers in those to get the 8 ohms instead of what would be 16ohms. either that or its a wiring thing. does anyone know of any good neo 410 cabs out there that are 4ohms?

Possibly so they can sell you two cabs to get to 4 ohms.

You could get a Bergantino NV610. It's a 4Ω 6x10 that goes great with an SVT. It's a little bit heavy but has tilt back wheels.

Otherwise, get two PN-410HLF cabs or two PN-210 cabs . You can daisy chain two 8Ω cabs in parallel for 4Ω total load.
