Sign in to disble this ad
I've got two questions before I go pick this amp up.
First-I hate the blue faceplate, how difficult would it be to alter it? Wanting to paint it black but unsure of how big/impossible of a task this would be....
Second-i've got a 2x15 cab thats 1000 watts. I know theres a billion discussions about ohms and wattages on this page but i'm confused as to how it breaks down on this specific amp with the 575/575 deal. Would I be alright on this?
Thanks!

However, if the cabinet is 4 or 8 ohms, then you'll be just fine. You could run two of the cabs off that amp (it's 575 @ 4 ohms per side). But you'll get more out of it with a 4 ohm cab. |

| | | No, you can't bridge the channels on an ABM-900
Two 4 ohm cabs is the best way to run it
Used to have one but found that with one four ohm cab and running "one side" was PLENTY! so I got rid of it and got the ABM500-RC instead.
NICE amp though, especially if you can use / need that much power

This was a special edition from past year i think, try to get one.
Or, if you don't mind silver, get the rack one.

They may have a spare Shavo one?
