How should I configure my rig?

[jwoodplays4u]

Hola, I'm on a budget of basically $800. I need something LOUD. I was thinkin ashdown 600w head into a carvin 8x10. The watts are there and I heard this particular cab is amazing. Any other suggestions?

That rig should indeed be "loud", but I'd probably be searching around for used gear bargains too. Find the right used deal and your $800 might end up buying you a lightly used couple year old $1600 rig.

Get used gear for loud rigs on budget (and good tone )

ya, i agree. The thing is, the carvin 8x10 is $500 which is better than any deal i've been able to find. The thing is, i need a bass head that puts out 600w at 8 ohms (1200w at 4 ohms) for like $300. What companies make really good bass heads?

in case there is any confusion--- that carvin 8x10 is 4 ohms.

I agree with above.

Ya, I know, and a head that puts out 600w at 8 ohms is goin to put out close to double that at 4 ohms. But it doesn't matter cuz im gonna score on a sweet deal on the br810 and an rl100 which i know will provide enough power. Thanks for the "get used gear" advice!!

not necessarily.

in fact, not normally.
