Hello almighty seers of talkbass, I need advice on a hopeful amp purchase. So, im thinking about purchasing a very nice CL steal on a ampeg classic anyways i have a ampeg SVT1540 which runs at 8 ohms and 400 watts on the full range inputs but on the bi amp input it runs at 4 ohms and 200 watts. the Ampeg CL runs at 300 watts at 4 ohms so im flabergasted is there anyway the amp will work with my cab please tell me yes!

Assuming you want to use all 5 drivers:
Set the CL for 2 Ohms. Set the SVT1540 for bi-amp. Drive both of the latter's bi-amp inputs from any of the internally paralleled outputs of the CL, preferably the Speakon.

The 15" will get half the output power. Each of the 10" will get 1/8 of the power.

Old thread: SVT-CL with 1540HE
