1000w amp with a 1000w and a 300w cab

[Andrew Davey]

Am I likely to have issues when using the following...
1000w Ampeg Svt7 pro
1000w EBS Neoline 410 4ohm
300w EBS Neoline 115 4ohm

Both neoline are from the same range and therefore appear to be compatible when used together.
Obviously the 300w cab is rated much lower than the rest of the rig.
Is the entire sound level limited by the lower rated amp, or will each cab punch a relative sound relative to its own ability?

Not a noob, but new to the world of matching cabs etc.

Any advice appreciated!

The amp is rated for a 4 ohm minimum load, so you can only run one cab anyway unless you DIY a series connection, which won't be a good move at all with such different power ratings.

If the cabs were 8 ohms, you would be limited to the lower power of the 2 (300 W). But, as Passinwind said, you're stuck with a single cab anyway due to the impedance.

And if you can’t get by with a 4x10 and that amp, you’ve got other sound related problems.

And if you put the cabs on a 2 ohm capable 1000w then you could run into the problem of the ages which is not hearing the 15 on the bottom struggling until it dies.

Thanks everyone,
So for now I am just gonna use the 115 on its own at 4ohm with my GK 450w 700rb-ii but plan on getting my Greenboy cabs running with the Ampeg.
Each 8ohms.
Would the Svt7 pro be running the full 1000w into this pair of 8 ohm cabs?

Yeah, but not without some bloody good earplugs. 450w at that EBS is dangerous. 500w per cab is enough to overdo those GB cabs if you try hard enough too.
