Hey guys, I know I'm asking a really stupid question and I'm ready to get yelled at but I'm going for it anyways... can I connect both 1/4 inch outs from my Berry BX4500H to my Berry BA210?

I need to get louder but I can't afford to buy more gear... I've got my eye on an Eden 550 / 210xst setup but I've got bigger purchases that need to be made right now - ie: college...

So I'm not completely flamed, I primary play jazz and blues and my BX4500H and my Eden D110 does fine for practice and gigs but I've joined a jam band project and I need to be heard with a key player, two guitarist, and a drummer.

My understanding is that each 1/4" out is only 225w so pushing a total of 450 out of my head into the 600w cab should be fine?...

Thanks guys!

It wouldn't matter, it would still be an 8 ohm load.

Here you go:

This will allow you to squeeze out every single watt from you amp into any load. Up to 400Watts, which may be in line with what the Behringer actually puts out.

It may only be around 3db, but at least you're squeezing out every watt. :)
Adding another cab would make it around 6db louder. (3db for double watts + 3db for more speakers)

RickenBoogie You're not asking about using 2 speaker cables from one amp to one cab, are you? Maybe I'm not understanding properly, but if that is the question, the answer is no way. If not, maybe 'splain it again.

Yup, I'm afraid so... I join the two 1/4" outs to the single input of my cab for hopefully 450 watts into a cab rated at 500w / 8ohms

Thanks for the link seamonkey! I'll have to bookmark that and check it out some more
