GK backline 600 and Behringer BB410?

[sharp8874]

hi, quick simple question about the Backline 600 and BB410. i have the Behringer BB410 cab and need a new head for it and found the GK Backline 600 looked like a good amp in my used price range of $200. i would like to know if the Backline will work with the cab fine since the cab is rated at 1200w power handling at 4 ohms and the Backline head is rated at 300w rms at 4 ohms. so i know that the resistance shouldn't be a problem but if the gap in wattage is that big will it be fine?

thanks for any responses and if you have another head that will work and is in the $200 used range i will look into that too.

It will work fine. I like GK stuff, and while the backlines aren't top of the line, the ones I've used in the past have sounded great! No experience with that cab though.

Bottom line, don't pay too much attention to wattage. The cab sounds like it can handle a fairly powerful amp, so the backline will be fine. Still, be careful not to crank the bass knob and blast full tilt!

A geeky review of the Backline 600 at my website:

I'm still perfectly happy with mine, though it's been supplanted by the new "micro" heads.

Behringer's "ratings" are always a stretch of the real world. Most likely the BL600 would be able to take the cab to it's real world max or beyond.
