MarkBass Cab Stacking

[phatbass1]

Hi Guy's,

I just picked up a new MarkBass rig:
Little Mark III Head
(2) Traveler 151P's

I already had a MarkBass Traveler 210P so I was thinking that I would stack all (3) cab's to get the stack high enough so I can hear it easily while I stand in front of it on stage. At first I was just thinking of connecting two of the three cabs to the Little Mark III...sometimes both 15's and sometimes with one 15 and the 210...but always having all three stacked to get the height I want. Then I wondered what it would sound like with all three cab's connected at once. I know that they are all 8 ohm cabs and I really shouldn't run the Little Mark III lower than 4 ohms...but has anyone done it? Did it sound good? Any trouble as a result?

I've run amps below their 4 ohm rating several times in the past and didn't have any trouble and adding that 3rd cab did make a noticeable difference in low end.

So what do you think?

Yay or Nay?

what???? No ...Do not do it!
That is amp abuse and may end up ruining a great amp

Get a poweramp if you want to do that


or another little mark to run as a poweramp

Thanks for the reply,
Two cabs is more than enough...no need to connect a 3rd. Just gonna stack all three for the rig height I like.
Maybe switch from 2 x 15's to 1 x 15 and 2 x 10 every now and then
