    Two Heads One Bass

    So basically bridge the heads and run the remaining two to the cabs?

    Two Heads One Bass

    I recently got my hands on a couple of Marshall bass heads and want to run them through my rather large rig. My end goal is to run each head through it's own cab, through my Sans Amp, and into my bass... The complication is how. I've read into a bit of the pros and cons of using a A/B Y pedal...

    Ampeg V4B dating/price/power

    I plan on trying it out tomorrow, but I really dont want to over work the thing while testing it. It was "recently re-tubed and serviced" but it still sounds a little over priced. Has anyone had any experience actually trying to push two cabs with this head? I've read a lot that the older blue...

    Ampeg V4B dating/price/power

    I've recently run into a vintage Ampeg V4B that I'm interested in buying but cant quite narrow down the date. It looks like it's somewhere between 76-79. Are there any obvious tells to give away the year? Have any of you bought a head around this age? What did you pay for it? The link to the...

    ohms of speakers in cabs

    I found myself researching and struggling to find the answer to what seems to be a simple question. if you have 2 speakers that are 8 Ohms each how many ohms is the cab they're in all together? The question is for 2 carvin neo 15s that I installed into a cab. They are 8 ohms and 600 watts each...

    Advice: cabs, ohms, power?

    Sorry for the delayed response. I did the 9v test. The 810 moved OUT in unison and the 215 moved IN in unison. Does that mean the 215 is out of phase? If so, is the fix as easy as switching how the wires are attached to the speakers?

    Advice: cabs, ohms, power?

    I'm running a carvin b2000, a peavy 215 with both speakers replaced with carvin neo 15s, and an ampeg pr-810h. The ampeg is where it gets a little messy... It IS 2 410s put on top of each other and I have read it can be run stereo, the top and bottom halves playing separately, however I've...

    Advice: cabs, ohms, power?

    I have an 810 1200 watt rms that runs at 4 or 8 ohms, a 215 1200 rms that runs at 4 ohms, and a bass head that runs at 2, 4, or 8 ohms at 2000, 1300, and 700 watts. Right now I'm running both cabs from the head and not getting nearly as much power as I expected without peaking. My questions...

    Ohms FAQ

    I'm still a bit hazy on understanding the formula. My head doesnt have a way to set how many ohms I'm running but it allows 2,4, and 8 ohms (Carvin b2000). I'm running this head through an ampeg pr810h that can run 8 or 4 ohms and a peavey 215 cab that runs at 8 ohms. How many ohms am I running...

    Replacement Speaker for Ampeg PR810H

    Today I figured out it must be the wiring. I'm borrowing two speakers from a friend's Ampeg 810e and and despite replacing and rotating speakers, it's continuing to make the gravely noise. Sorry to mislead with the thread title. Any ideas to what wiring issue it could be? I didnt notice any...

    Replacement Speaker for Ampeg PR810H

    The serial number is pretty much gone but I believe it's dated to 1998. It's been faithful for the two years I've had it but it now has a blown speaker. My primary question is what do I replace it with? I had a cheaper rig previously, ampeg 410, and replaced the speakers in it with eminence...

    Madison Abraxas- The Atlantis of Bass Heads

    I heard that the Carvin B1500 was similar as well, checked out there gear, and it looks quite good and is definitely affordable. After all the input here Ill probably look around a bit more to see if there are any techs up for the challenge, if not Ill keep it as a souvenir and pick up that...
