I recently got my genz Benz ml200 112
Idk anything about cab hookups,ohms

But I'm looking into getting either a 1x15 cab or 2x10


But it's all gibberish to me

These r the inputs on the back of the amp for cab connecting



Amp A. 100 wats 4ohm minimum

Mono bridge 200 watts 8ohm minimum

Amp b 100watts 4 ohm minimum


What can I hook up? How big? Would it be louder?

A four ohm tap could run one four ohm cab or two eight ohm cabs daisy chained together....the 8ohm tap can only take one 8ohm cab....or two 16ohm cabs, but noone really makes 16ohm bass cabs......

Fyi:
Two 8 ohms cabs equals four ohms
Three 8ohms cabs equals 2.67 ohms
Four 8ohms cabs equals 2 ohms
So does two 4ohm cabs.

That help?

Ok soo.. Basicly the higher the ohms the lower the levels? So the 2 8ohm cabs would run on the power of 4ohms...
And the higher the power level the lower the ohms are?

So with my 200 wats delivering a full 8ohms.

If I run it of both the a&b amp. I can run 4ohms at 100 watts to 2 cabinets that r rated for 4ohms.

Or I can take the entire 200wats and run only 1 8ohm cab at the full 200.


And I'm guessing that it would have more power to run 2 4 ohm cabs at 100 wats then 1 8 ohm cab at the full 200 watts?

Uh.......as to your response to my initial post...first question, yes...the rest......not so much. The things you got right I suspect were for the wrong reasons...I would suggest possibly googling the owners manual of your amp for clarity, or rereading the ohm sticky for a post that makes sense to you.

I recommend that you take the amp to your local music store and ask them to help you with selecting the right impedance (ohm) cab’s for your amp. Its better to be safe - if ya know what I mean bro.
