.....Would it work? The gk manual says not to use cabs under 8 ohms, the fender is 4 ohms, but it handles nearly twice the amount of watts the gk puts out. I'm really new to this whole Ohm concept as many would guess, so the question rests: Could it work, and if so, how could I make it work? I got a really good deal on the 810, so I'm hoping there would be some way.

Gk 1001rb Into Fender Pro 810

Per the 1001 RB manual:
"One 4 Ohm, or two 8 Ohm cabinets on the 540W Amp."
The 1001RB is the same, infact most all G-K amps are this way. Just plug your 810 into one of the speaker outs and level some buildings!

Is it the 1001RB?
Is it the 1001RB II?
Is it the combo?
Is it just the head?
Anyways, B-string is correct:
700W or 480W Amp Only:
¼” speaker output jacks. Impedances Lower than 4 Ohms should not be
used. Higher impedances such as 8 Ohms, 16 Ohms,
or No Load are acceptable. One 4 Ohm, one 8 Ohm,
or two 8 Ohm cabinets are okay. One 4 Ohm and one
8 Ohm together is not recommended. The internal
speakers equal an 8 Ohm load.

I used mine through a Ampeg 810. Be ready to blow down walls. The 1001RB is louder then my 1000watt Kilo.
Absolutely! I would be more worried about the cab than the amp head
Why should i be worried about the cab? Should i run two 1/4 cables from the head to the cab or just one speakon?
ONLY one cord from amp to cab always. He's saying it's gonna have tons of power! How's it sound?
Yes exactly. G-K under-rates the power output of their heads and most manufacturers over-rate the power they can take from an amp for bass use.
That's going to be a monstrous rig! I sometimes use an old 400rb with an Ampeg 810 and that kills! Wear some plugs!

I'd be more worried about his hearing and the structural integrity of the building in which the rig is used.
