IM ABOUT TO UNLEASH A MONSTER

Sign in to disble this ad
I need some advice on how to hook up my svt 4 pro to my newly acquired (ampeg) 810. I have no idea what the correct configuration. Any suggestions are much appreciated!

Read the manual.

In this instance, there is more than one way to skin a cat:

-You could bridge the amp and use the entire cab.
-You could use each side to a seperate half of the 810.
-You could use one side to power the entire cab.

Running bridge mono is probably the best choice, but I can't remember the 810s power rating off hand.

Use a speakon cable to the bridge section (between power section A/B) and then to one of the speakon slots on the 810.

OK you can just hook up a regular speakon & put 490 watts into the 810E or you can wire the speakon the correct way & run 1200 watts into the 810 like you need to. Read the manual & here is a video to show you how to rewire aregular speakon to mono/bridge http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iH0kVA-ZvPQ once yo do this there your ready for stadium gigs. I don't run my 4pro/810E any othe way. you get ultra headroom

I had this very setup, and it only roared when run with two 4 ohm cabs.(2 - 810s)

and BOY will it roar! get two 810s and run it in stereo! (someday...)
