Another quick newb question

Sign in to disble this ad
Im getting ready to order a GK 210mbx cab. The cab is rated 200watts at 8ohm. My head is rated the same. I just want to make sure this will be alright or if i should get a cab rated for more watts. Its just the next step up is 400 watts on a cab, and cost more. So just as long as its not cranked to max i should be good right? But i will be playing with a band so it will be cranked pretty good. I plan on getting a 1x15(200watts at 8ohm) later on so that will drop the watts to 350 at 4. So then i will be under the max watts on the cabs. Just wanting to make sure im good before i click submit order! thanks

Just be aware that you can exceed the rating for a cabinet without using your amps full wattage by cranking the daylights out of the EQ. So dont get too crazy with the lows etc.
