ohm,I have a question.

Sign in to disble this ad
I have a carvin brx410 and a brx210,both 4 ohm cabs that I run with carvin b1500 or bx500.Im considering buying another brx210 so I could run the 210s stacked vertically,question is could I run the 210's on top of the 410 just like another 410,one speaker cable going from amp to 410 and another cable going to 210 daisey chained to 2nd 210,would this work? Thanks.

it would as long as each side of your amp has 2 ohm capability.

Nope............

The B1500 and the BX500 are both mono amps

Your 2 cabs are already presenting a 2 ohm load - you cannot add any more cabs (unless you made a serial cable to make the two 2X10's an 8 ohm load).

theoretically there could, but if they're built similarly, it should minimize it.
