2 4-ohm loads

Thanks Bob, for your insight.

Yes, I purchased the mini-LFE, which is the little guy. This is my $75 experiment, we'll see how it goes. I'm just hoping to get a little tactile sound, as it's called. Hopefully I won't find that I need a larger investment in power and transducers for my needs - we'll see. For those of you who have used this sort of thing, or had 2000 watt subs directly below you on an elevated stage such as I have, you know that it's about the coolest thing imaginable - to have the tone perception of your playing and the kick drum vibrating thru your feet, without a lot of ear bleeding volume.

My plan is to mount this on a 2'x3' piece of quality plywood, add rubber feet to isolate it from the stage, and plug into the amp. I'll post my results later, though it'll be perhaps 2-3 weeks.

ended up hooking up my BK to a 250-watt monitor amp. Worked like a CHAMP! After the service/gig, everyone in the band wanted to stand on my diy platform and get the sensation. Sometimes things work out. This gave me everything that I hoped it would, and then some. Beautiful tone perception from the vibrations from my low B to the 2nd lowest D.

If you're thinking of this route, I'm here to tell you that even the little mini-LFE driven by 200-250 watts works great.

My amp actually has two speaker outputs each marked 4-ohm, so I think it's 2 speaker outputs are internally wired in series, or is it parallel? 250 watts total output at 4-ohms. It's a Eden Nemesis, don't remember the model.

I have the same question about my head (SVT 4 Pro). I've been using bridged mode with a single cab. I'm considering switching to stereo mode with 2 cabs but I can't find anything in the manual regarding ohms/loads other than the overall ratings. Are the separate channels truly "separate" or will connecting a 4 ohm cabinet to each output drop me to 2 ohms?
