Hi. I was hoping to elicit some opinions from you fine folks.
I'm currently running an '08 swr redhead and while I do enjoy the tone I find that I need more power and most importantly more low end than the tens in the combo want to give.
The swr people recommend their 350 watt 8 ohm cab. The redhead gives 400w @ 4 ohms, 525 @ 2.67 ohms (which is where I'd be if I ran their son of bertha 8 ohm cab) and 650w @ 2 ohms. I'd really like to use the full potential of the power amp (650w), plus it seems kind of useless to throw 175 watts at a 350 watt 8 ohm speaker, not that I'm worried about under powering it or any of that crap, but does any one make a 4 ohm 1x15?.
Maybe it'd be best to go with two 1x15 200w 8 ohm cabs? I'm not really interested in going with any more 10's.
Years ago I used to run a Traynor Mark II head into an old Kuhl 2x15 cab loaded with E.V.'s and I could not turn it up much more than a little under half on the pre gain and about 2 o'clock on the master and it would seriously scare the crap out of me it was so freakin' loud , and that Traynor could not have been more than 300w ss.
Any input would be appreciated. Thanx.
