Is there enough room on the edge of the step stool for Genzler badging? What power cord are you thinking of going with for the aftermarket hydraulics?

Very funny, again hydraulic lifts aren't very sensitive to dirty power as far as I know...
Am I the only one that thinks Genzler would sale a to of DI pedals if they would make one? I know I would buy one immediately.
I'm playing a Magellan 800 into a BA12-3. Looking to add another cabinet, could I combine my BA12-3 (8 ohm) with a BA410-3 (4 ohm) via the parallel outputs? Or do I need to stick with an 8 ohm cab (e.g., BA12-3 slant or a BA210-3)?
The band i play with has a few outdoor gigs lined up for this spring and summer and hoping for more.

Since the Mag 800 has a switch on the back that goes down to 2.whatever ohms, (senior moment), yes, you can pair one 8-ohm cab and one 4-ohm cab using that switch. You can also do 3 8-ohm cabs, as some have done on here (including moi).
You can run down to 2.66 ohm using the switch on the back of the 800. So with your 8ohm 12-3 you can add another 4ohm load like the 410
There is a serious case of power cord envy going on here.
It's not the length. It's the gauge.
Thanks for explaining the ohmage. Any thoughts on whether the BA12-3 and BA410-3 would combine well (from a sound POV)? I guess I'm looking for max versatility, and may only use both infrequently.
I added a second BA12-3 and it really is a 1+1=3 situation. Mr. Genzler can talk about the way the array works when you do this but I can tell you that it is simply sweet, loud and consistent. I would worry about the 4 ohm 410 overpowering the 8 ohm single 12. For me, I am considering adding either a slant 12 or a single 10 for small gigs/practice. The 410 is just too big and heavy for virtually everything I do.
Oh, and I didn't mean to start the now famous (infamous?) cable war on the board! But I hope everyone is enjoying a good laugh and not taking it too seriously. I've always wondered about expensive cables in general (looking at you Monster), especially in the digital domain where a 1 is a 1 and a 0 is a 0. I am enjoying the good-natured (I hope) teasing!
I will use my BA410-3 plus one BA12-3 this summer at some outdoor events. so yes.
Other than that, its either the 410 singly or 2 X 12-3s for me, depending on mood and type of music.
Rock is the 410. Country is the 2 X 12s.

I'm not offended just trying to educate those that are interested. So on the topic of digital transmission some of the same issues exist as in the analog domain. Attenuation of signal and interference. Now when talking about optical digital transmission the interference isn't as much of an issue but attenuation can be. Digital signals are expressed in square waves. What happens in that case is the square gets rounded off. This can lead to a "1" not reading as a "1" at the receiving end. Noise or corrupted signal can also cause a "0" to read as a "1". So while all the digital signals are simply made up of 1's and 0's, the receiving end ideally should receive the "1's" as "1's" and the "0's" as "0's". This is where cabling can come into play. I'm not saying there isn't a lot of snake oil out there, and yes I mean Monster Cable, but there are cable companies that make cable that works better even in the digital domain.
I won't get too far into it but there is also an issue of speed in digital cable that can make an audio difference as well.
Anywho, thanks for indulging me...
A great response! I can't tell you how many times I've heard that one!!!

I once powered my BA410-3 and BA12-3 with my MG800 out of curiosity and the least of my worries was the 410 over powering the 12. I was more concerned with what damage could I be doing to my hearing, since I wasn't wearing any earplugs. To say that combination is loud is an understatement!!

I would also agree with @Nightman. I don't think there is a specific issue with combining these cabs for ultimate power and performance. I would stand back!!
Jeff Genzler... I recently purchased a Magellan 350 head from Mark Gollihur to run with my pair of Barefaced One10 cabs. I have been gigging since 1963, including about 8 years fulltime pro. I have had amps from all the big box companies, plus some smaller boutique type companies. Kudos to you sir, my search is over, my GAS is banished, I have found my tone nirvana. The first time I set my gear up and plugged in, the hair on the back of my neck stood up and I got goosebumps on my arms. I do not know what about your product is different to all the other makes, but whatever it is, please keep doing it. It is perfection.
OK, thank you very much, Jeff and Nightman. I'll order a BA12-3 Slant and have a nice tidy stack of goodness.
