Ashdown Mag 400 Help

Sign in to disble this ad
Looking for a bit of help with my speaker setup. Have an Avatar B210 at 8 ohms (700W) and an Aguilar GS212 at 4 ohms (600W). Before I hit the on switch and rock my balls off...am I asking for trouble?

Thanks for your help.

Ashdown MAG run at minimum 4 ohm only. The setup you're describing shows a 2.67 ohm load. Bad for the lifespan of your amp.

BTW, you'll get the full juice out of your amp from a 4 ohm cab, so the GS212 is the way to go, as a standalone cab.
