Gallien 800RB question

Thats a great amp.
Four ohms is as low as you can go. Thats either a single 4ohm or a pair of 8ohm cabinets.
For further info go to Gallien Krueger's website and download a manual. It's free.

Yup....one four ohm cab. That's why most folks get an amp with headroom (more watts than you can imagine needing) and an 8 ohm cab that can handle the wattage of the amp into an 8 ohm load (the wattage is rated lower into an 8 ohm'er). Then as you grow to need more sound power, you add a second 8 ohm cab, use the full amp and more a lot more air.
For example, I have a GK 700RB-II which is 480W but into 4 ohms. It's rated at 320W into an 8 ohm load. I have a GK Neo 212-II which I think is rated 500W so niely conservative vs 320. If I had a second 212, I could probably plow snow on my street.

One of the outputs on the GK 800RB is only fiftey watts.It is intended to push hi-end frequencies in a bi-amped situation.The 800 RB has a crossover so depending on where you set it,everything above goes to the "hi-out",and everything below goes to the "lo-out".I used to love mine,and it is the original GK tone monster!!! Enjoy!
Ah the "high amp" on the 800RB is 100 watts RMS at 8 ohms min. The two amps can be run in full range or bi-amp; 300 watts @ 4 ohms and 100 watts @8 ohms.
You should have asked this in the "Amps" forum?
