Im curious about some Ashdown 500 features. Do the 500 series head have a tube preamp? Probably just one? And how many speaker outputs do they have on the back? I noticed just one Speakon and one 1/4. Is that right? What would I have to do to use two cabs?

Ashdown 500 Qs....

It has a SS preamp with some tubes in it, I think it has 3 tubes but I'm not sure. (I know its kinda wierd but it sounds real awesome) To plug in 2 cabs, you have to chain em together.lawndart said:
There is one tube in the tube stage of the pre-amp... This can be blended with a separate solid state pre-amp...
There is one speakon output and one 1/4 inch output wired in parallel...
You can either chain your cabs from one output... or run one out of each output... no difference...
This is for the 500 EVO II, Hope this helps...

wouldnt chaining them together drop the ohmage to 16ohms? I could be wrong. I have two Aguilar GS112s both rated at 8ohms.

Only if you chained them in series. And you would have to really know what you're doing to do that correctly. If you chain cabs with you rregular old cables, it's still in parallel and the impedence load is actually reduced.
