Is there a way to hook this up?

Sign in to disble this ad
I have an ampeg b2r and a 215 cabinet from seismic audio(yeah its not great but it was my first cab and i was low on cash) and i was planning on getting a 410 cab soon(probably an ampeg or gk). The problem is the 215 is 4 ohms and the 410 would most likely be 8 ohms. Should i hook them both up or just use one? If i should hook them up together how would i do it? I know parallel is out of the picture because id get something like 2.6666 ohms and that would fry the head. Is there any way i can hook them up and still get a decent amount of volume from my head?

There is really no reasonable way to use both together.

Someone here will probably suggest a 12-ohm series connection, but with dissimilar cabinets, it's a bad idea.

Personally, I'd use the 410 and sell the 215 and use the funds to get another 8ohm 410. Oh wait, that's what I did. The 410 by itself even at 8ohms will sound much better than the 215, you'll see.
