Amp output and cab power, dumb question

[Lowtonejoe]

It would also help to know what head and cabs you are talking about, and the specifics of therein.

It doesn't matter. If the jacks are parallel then they are parallel. Parallel jacks all perform the same.

I have recentl tested and ampeg svt401he bass cab with 8ohms.
But my poweramp with axe-fx 2 is the Matrix GT1600 with 4ohms.

What I'm loosing with this ampeg svt 410he cab?
Should I look for a bass cabinet with 4ohms to match the matrix gt 1600 ?

What do you think?

I have an GK MB800 and NEO212 (just arrived today!) the NEO cab is 600w and I would like to add my old Yorkville single 15" cab for some support. My concern is that it is only rated at 250 watts. Will I instantly blow the 15 when I turn it up for rehearsal?

A solid state amp just puts less wattage out into an 8 ohm cab than a 4 ohm cab. That's all you "lose" is a bit of potential wattage.

First, are they both 8 ohm cabs? If not, stop. If yes, then it's not going to blow up instantly. Just listen to that cab while playing, and if it starts to fart or buzz, turn down your volume until the noise ceases.
