Need a 2ohm bass head..

EBS TD660
Genzler Magellan will run at 2.67 ohms

 

Here's your best bet at the moment here in the TB classifieds:

For Sale/Trade - Ashdown ABM 1200 EVO IV 1200W Bass Magnifier Head

Shelve the 2 ohm stable for a moment. I'd go with a dedicated bass amp w/ two power sections, one side for each enclosure whether it be 4 or 8 ohm. I use a Epifani PS1000 which is of similar design.

Riis

 

SVT 4Pro works as Riis suggests above with the following difference:

2 power sections, both are 2ohm stable.

Bridged state is only 4ohm stable.

 

Marshall MB450H

 

Several older Peavey heads do 2 ohms and can be found inexpensively: ProBass 500; T-Max; Firebass.

 

The Mesa Subway D-800 is as simple as it gets in my experience. Light, portable, easy to dial in. Love mine. Subway cabs are great also. Very portable!!!!!!

 

The Fender 100t & the Super Bassman, are 2 ohm rated, so is the Ampeg SVT, along with the older V4-B
Peavey made a few amps that were 2ohm stable

 

One more to consider is a Bergantino Forte. Wonderful amp!

 

Many Eden heads run safely at 2ohm.

Eden WT 550. Bergantino Forte.

 

ampeg svt pro 4..

 

In a hurry? The new GK heads will work at 8 - 4 - 2 Ohms. Your choice with switch on back of all of them. They should be available within a few months.

 

The older Genz Benz GBE series will do 2ohms all day long without breaking a sweat!

 

Yeah, the Fender Rumble 800 HD was my first thought, also. But it would put all 800 watts into his single 450 watt 4 ohm cab. Could work OK, but gotta be careful. "With great power comes great responsibility."

 

From Nick Epifani:

How should I match my amp with my speaker cabinets?
Let’s consider power first. For optimum results the rule of thumb is that your amplifier’s power rating should be HIGHER than that of your speaker cabinet. Look at it this way: If a car that can only reach 100 MPH is driven at 100 MPH, it is being forced to operate at its maximum capacity and will not perform very well. But if a high performance car, that can reach a speed of 200 MPH is driven only at 100 MPH, it handles beautifully because it has plenty of power to spare. In like manner, a 100 watt amp, when using all 100 watts, is being driven to its maximum capabilities and will not perform well. However, a 500 or 1,000 watt amp that is using only 100 watts of its power is going to perform MUCH SMOOTHER because the amp does not have to push itself at MAXIMUM power to reach the 100 watt level. The result is a much CLEANER TONE at higher volume levels.

You're not buying a 800 watt amp to be pushing 800 watts.

 

just get a series/parallel wiring box and hook both your cabs into it. That'll put it at 8 ohms though.

 

I have an Eden WT550 and the Mesa Boogie D-800 and they both run 2 ohms with no problems at all. Would recommend either with confidence.
