Can I Pair This Head and Cab Together?

[GuitarFreak1092]

I just purchased a Fender Rumble 4x10 cabinet to pair with my GK 700RB-II

700RB-II - 480watts at 4 ohms

Fender Rumble 4x10 - 500 watts at 4 ohms with 1000 watts power handling (what does that mean)

Will I have any issues pairing these two considering that they are so close to each other power wise?

Sounds like a great match to me.

No problem, if you had a 1000 watts amp you still be good as long as you kept your volume under control.....

Why would there be any issues?

yea. if the cab has 4 ohm cab, just make sure that the head has a 4 ohm output.... and the head puts out just enougth power that the cab can handle, so your good

Most likely means the cab can chew up 1000w briefly at 1 kHz before it overheats the speakers. In the context of bass playing that is meaningless!

Which means you must use your ears to moderate the eq and volume, that you may make bass frequencies which matter.

ok thanks for the replies i heard that gk amps are usually louder than rated and with the amp only being 20 watts less than the cab i just wanted to make sure i wouldnt run into any problems i recently blew a speaker in an acoustic cab that was 8 ohms at 400watts and the gk is 320watts at 8 ohms so im trying this cab as a replacement

Watts don't matter when they are in the neighbourhood. Speakers fail from too much low bass at way less than their rated power. You will blow up the new one just as easily as the old one if you don't learn the sound of a speaker in distress.

Is there an 8 ohm version of this cab available? The 4 ohm will work fine, but there is no options for expansion later if you want to add another cab.

no unfortunately it only comes as a 4 ohm cab but i figured i would notice a huge difference compared to the cheap 8 ohm acoustic cab
