    Buying new rig

    Yeah, I have run into that problem. Are there any 2x10 cabs out there that anyone knows of that are 8 ohms? I kinda doubt it, i haven't found any yet.

    Buying new rig

    I am looking into getting a new rig for my new gig. I currently have a 4ohm 2x10 cabinet which is rated at 175 watts RMS. I would like to find a bi-ampable head which can handle my 4ohm cabinet to which I can add a 15 cabinet of a certain impedance that will be solid for many years. I'm...

    Thanks bongomania and jemima! My amp is a solid state. It is a Peavey Firebass with a whiteface. I have been running my 4 ohm 2x10 cab, which is 175 Watts RMS, for 7 years or so by itself. This means that my amp has been sending it 475 watts RMS at 4 ohms for that time. With the...

    question regarding imedance and speaker combinations

    Thanks Jaco_Who? I wasn't so much worried about underpowering a cab as much as the 15 not being equal in volume. Any enlightenment?

    question regarding imedance and speaker combinations

    Thanks LowLee, I was thinking about getting a separate amp/combo with a 15 in case the combo doesn't work with only the firebass amp. If the 4ohm cab gets 2/3 of the amps power and the 8 ohm gets 1/3 of the amps power would that meant that the 4ohm cabinet would be louder? I am looking...

    Best Bass for Blues?

    Go with a Fender. Nothing else sounds the same. Jazz or P-Bass. I personally play a '76 Jazz and it gives me everything I need. Don't go anything less than american made. The mexi-fenders are crap.

    Help with White Face Firebass..please

    I only power up after everything is connected. Would there be any consequences if I chain the two cabinets together? I would have to first go to the Ampeg which has parallel jacks then to my Peavey 2x10 cabinet which only has one 1/4 inch jack. The ampeg is 8ohms with 400 watts RMS and...
