- If only I were that good....
Sorry for the early post but hoping someone can help me out with two questions ASAP.
Doing an outdoor benefit today and need help with two things.
1.) my rig blew a speaker and I have two options. Need opinions. I have a 410 extension cab but need an amp. I have a 115 combo with speaker out I can use but it's 200watts. I can try borrowing a friends PF350 using just the 410. Does the 350 have more PERCEIVED loudness due to extra headroom and more power to the 410s? Or will that extra 115 speaker have more perceived loudness outdoors even though it's lower wattage??? I'm not a 115-410 fan but it's not an ideal situation
2.) I'm also apparently now running sound as we don't have a sound guy so using mixed PA gear. It's decent gear but I'm short on SPEAKER cables. Biggest question....since the mains are powered and will be linked to each other, do they need shielded speaker cables? It'll basically be an aux signal being sent but it's not my gear and I don't want to damage it....
Sorry for the long rant but again if anyone can help out ASAP you'd be doing me a solid as I just found out this morning and I'm packing the car in about 15 minutes.
