Backline OHM Question

[srslots81]

Howdy,

I did a search of the FAQ before asking this question but would like some additional feedback if possible.

I have an Aguilar TH500. My next gig in NYC is at a club with the following backline listed on their site:

BASS Cabinets *MUST USE HOUSE CABINET
Behringer UltraBass BB140
4x10 1200 watts 4 ohms

Warwick WCA 115 Pro
1x15 400 watts 8 ohms

So, based on the FAQ this would result in: "hooking up an 8 ohm cabinet and a 4 ohm cabinet in parallel to your amp gives the amp a load of 2.67 ohms to power."

Since my amp can only run at 4 or 8 Ohm does that mean I can only use one of the cabinets for the gig?

I am "hoping" the sound guy would know this anyway, but want to make sure. Thanks!

Yes you could only use one cab, probably the 410 would be best if you needs lots of stage volume (which the sound engineer probably does not want from you anyway).

the warwick probably has a better speaker in it, I'd go for that one. And yes, just use 1 cab.

Is this the Knitting Factory again ? That place is a pain.

Fontana's.

Thanks for the info!
