svt-4 pro stereo set-up

Sign in to disble this ad
I have a four pro and I want to run a speaker from each power amp section. will the ohm rating be cut in half like normal, or will they stay the same because they are being powered from their own amp sections(A-to 115 and B-to 410)?

I'm looking at the manual right now and cut in half looks correct.

1600w mono-bridged@4 ohms
1200w mono-bridged@8 ohms
2x900w @ 2 ohms
2x625w @ 4 ohms
2x350w @ 8 ohms

WRONG! The ohm value will be cut in half if you hook both cabs up to the same power amp.

115 speaker to power amp A - one speaker load
410 speaker to power amp B - one speaker load

Two separate power amps, two separate loads. You can setup a bi-amp operation with the cabs. Keep in mind the 115 will not handle as much wattage as the 410 can. So the 115 will run out of steam before the 410 will. Otherwise, have fun.

I guess I misunderstood what he was asking. I was thinking about mono 4 ohms is the minimum but stereo you can go down to 2 ohms per channel. My bad.
