Sign in to disble this ad
I have an Ampeg classic 410 cab (8ohm/500Watt) and en Eden Nemesis EN400 head which is 4ohms. So I need an extra cab (8ohm) to get the most watts out of my rigg. I found an Ampeg SVT15e cab which is 8 ohms, but it only goes up to 200Watts... Am I going to blow the extra 200Watt cab's speaker apart if I hook it up with my rigg and turn up the volume? I guess I will but I'm new to cabs and heads...
Any advice welcome!

That meaning, it is designed to handle a steady flow of 200w without issue. You would have to run your amp to its very limits, and probably fry the head first, before ruining that 15 cab. |
