The 4 ohms and 8 ohms thing you mentioned doesn't work that way. 2 8 ohms cabs hooked to it = a resistance of 4 ohms, and so you'd get the full 240 watts with 2 cabs. I'm not sure about that cab, but I'm pretty sure the other output is for another cab. You could run cables to each cab form the...

Thanks, that was extremely helpful. Unfortunately they shipped friday, so I won't be able to have them wired a certain way. I will buy a couple 1/4" cables though. No biggie. Will the 2 conductor speakons still work fine for general use?

One more question: I ended up going with the GK 700RB-II (great price form that website, thanks.) and two Avatar cabinets, both 8 ohm. Their B210 and their SB112. Now, I've been reading up on this head, and it mentioned something abut speakon cables, both 2 conductor speakon cable and a 4...

Thanks, that was my question. I was pretty sure that's what he meant by daisy chaining, but figured I'd make sure. So the 1x12 with the 2x10 would really sound better (not to mention the cost) than the 1x15?

Thanks, and thanks everybody else. When you say daisy chain, just to clarify, you mean run a cable to a cabinet, then from that cabinet to the other correct? Would I have to use the 1/4" jacks that way, or speakon or? And would it matter if I go to the 210 or the 112 first?

Well, after all the insight, I'm going to head to Guitar Center (unfortunately, there's no good music stores nearby with any kind of selection.) and try out a 2x12, 2x10, and 4x10. I'm guessing I'm going to like the 2x12 the best. I'll see what they have for used gear, heads especially. I'll...

You're right of course, and I'm not offended. Unfortunately, where I live, used is probably not an option. I really don't trust ebay or online much, either. It's not like the Avatar's are very expensive to begin with though.

Thank you for the Ampeg info :). I've been looking at the Avatar cabs a lot, and I can't seem to find anyone that has anything bad to say about them, especially for the cost. On to next question: I'm reading a lot about different speaker configurations, and I still don't know what would sound...

I'm a complete amp newbie, but I have a question. Just to clarify the general consensus of this thread, a 4x10 won't sound as good as two 2x10's, with one stacked on top? And when you say stacked vertically, do you just mean on top, or do you mean so the two speakers are vertical to each other...

Any specific reasons why?

Sorry. I really should've read others' newbie posts and done what other people said they should've, heh. About 900-1200. Maybe a little more if I have to?

Ah, sorry. I play mostly rock, and alternative. A little reggae/ska. I've only played seriously for like 7 months, so. I'm not in a band, I just jam with some friends and learn covers at the moment. None of us have a PA (And again, I'm super new to bass let alone amps and PA's). I've never...

I'm at the point where I think need a new bass amp. I've been using a small practice one for awhile, but I want something bigger. I know next to nothing about amps, but I've been reading up on some stuff, basics etc. I'm pretty sure I want a head and separate cabinet... and I was looking...

I don't know if I'd want to be good at something that's going to suck quite a bit later, but more power to you. Our local music scene is filled with bands that think having no vocals but screaming is music. It's entirely depressing.
