Markbass combo power!!!

[nuckleheadjones]

Hey All,
Just joined this group but have been reading what you all say for some time. I need anybody/somebody's input.

I just bought the Markbass CMD 102P two ten combo amp. Also bought the front ported 4-10 box. Having been an Ampeg user (SVT 4 pro) for years I'm still trying to settle in if you will. I'm am finding that I miss the head room and sheer volume that I had with the Ampeg. I do however love the sound, technology and weight of the Markbass. What I am wondering is the amp that is in the Markbass combo is the Littlemark II. I would like to take the amp out and replace it with the Littlemark III tube 800 watt amp. I checked and the dimensions are exact but just want to make sure this is a good move or not. Or at least get a few posts on my power/volume delima....

Thanks

I'd sell the combo and buy the 800 head then. Besides, pairing a 410 with a 210 combo will put the 210 combo in danger, as the 410 can handle so much more power, and spread that power between 4 spkrs, vs. the 210 taking an equal share with just 2 spkrs. Not a good pairing. Just sell the combo, buy the head you want and use it with the 410. If that's not loud enough, get another identical 410.

if I'm using the Mark bass III tube which is 800 watts into 4 ohms what would it be if I had a 6 -10 6 ohm box?

Hard to say, but less than 800 watts. Prolly around 600, but that's a guess.
