    575 watt head w/ 810 cab?...

    Hey guys, Need a bit of advice if you'd mind giving it! Basically I am wondering whether an Ashdown ABM500 EVO II head would do a good job of powering an 810 cabinet? Obviously if the impedances matched etc etc. Would the head be able to power the cab sufficiently or would it be under...

    Gigging Rig:advice needed...

    If a 410 would make alot of difference, would a 610 make more difference? Will my 500 watt amp be able to power both the original 210 speakers in the combo and an additional 610 cabinet? If I was to get a 410 cabinet, what wattage should I look at? For example, would a 4ohm 650 watt cabinet...

    Gigging Rig:advice needed...

    In everyone's opinion is a 500watt head powerful enough for my situation? I realise that I am without adding the 410 cab but will this remedy my situation or should I save my money and upgrade to a more powerful head?
