Will this head overpower this cab?

[DwaynieAD]

Simple Question: Will a Gallien Krueger 1001RBII overpower a Revsound RS210?

cab:
http://www.revsound.net/Cabs_RS210Series.htm

head:
http://www.guitarcenter.com/Gallien-...GP&cagpspn=pla

Explanation: A certain ultralight cab thread got me interested in Revsound cabs so I started doing some looking around and found myself interested. That being said I don't understand Ohms, Impedance, and a myriad of other things related to the spec's being thrown at me. So while I do some online sleuthing I figured it would behoove me to leave this here to get an answer from someone more knowledgeable than me on the subject.

thanks.

Yes that head will over power any 210. But thats why they make amps with a volume knob.

Just be aware, that regardless of power rating specs, there is no replacement for displacement. No 210 using full range drivers is going to be louder than a 410, or any bigger cab.

[RickenBoogie]

Yes, but in fact, almost ANY amp is capable of overpowering ANY spkr cab. You have to be careful with both the ovetall volume, and especially, the amount of low eq you use. Cutting the uber lows will actually provide more volume, as the power it takes to push the lows is extreme, and they're also the hardest on a spkr.

But like anything in engineering with real skill and perfect self discipline
You could even operate this fiat engine:

In this fiat car:

You won't have anywhere to sit and it might be very dangerous operating the throttle beyond idle and experienced engineers would most likely laugh like a drain, but hey it's your dime.

My gut told me "just go easy on it" my research told me that its not a good idea.

the main reason that I was thinking of doing it this way was because I don't have the money lying around for new gear and am actively gigging so I'd have to sell this piece to buy that piece and was trying to figure out how to accomplish it. guess that won't work.

thanks for your help.

All the answers you received are true. That said, the RS210 is rated full bandwidth @ 400 watts conservatively. 800 peak again conservatively rated. Most of our players are using high power amps for clean headroom and versatility; MarkBass, GK, Epifani, Walter Woods, etc. You can find a good amount of player feedback on the RS210 and certainly get any questions answered from players on the Revsound Facebook page. Hope this helps.

Absolutely.

Is that a V 24?

It has a kind of Ferrari look to it.

If some is good, more is better. And too much is just about right.


Most people know about Carol Shelby shoe horning an American V-8 into a little British sports car. And the the V-8 into a the sunbeam called a Tiger.

More recently was the Miata 5.0 where a five liter V-8 was installed into a Mazda Miata.

Did you actually do the V24 into the Fiat? How did it work? Handle? Etc?

Pushing the limits is one of the ways to change limits.

A GK 1001rb will overpower (insert pretty much any cab here). You can use that head with any cab, just be mindful.

I've ridden in one of those Tigers. Quite the machine.

Dad still won't let me drive it though.

Simple Answer: Yes, if you turn up the volume too high.

Can a Mack truck tow a 6x4 trailer? So long as you don't load the trailer up to the tyres are about to burst the Mack will tow it fine.

I have a question. Guitarist have many options like the THD Univalve which allows the player to turn down the power of the amp. This can done Via either/ both voltages and/ or a hot plate built into the amp. You can have anywhere from 1/2 watt up to 15 watts available.

I have never seen an option like this for bass amps.

Any of the more talented inventor types here on TB want to tackle this project?

It looks like a airplane or boat motor to me

Have you seen the price of the 100W guitar hotplate? Bump that up some more for a 300W. Iirc it has been tried and found wanting.

You can use the Univalve for bass if you like. Or an old 50W bass head, or a new 30W one, on sale recently for what you would pay for a 300W attenuator.

Seems to be parked next to a floatplane, you're both right.
