New Rig Setup

[winstonthecat]

I am new to this custom rig setup, so please bear with me.

I am looking for a better rig for bar/club gigging. I'm playing rock music with two guitarists and a drummer, so I need some volume.

I am looking at a used Behringer BX-3000T.

I also have the opportunity for two Ampeg Cabs

SVT-210 and SVT-15. The cabs are rated at 200W 8 ohm each. The Behringer is 300W at 4 ohms. When run in parallel, I think the total cab impedence would be 4 ohm. Do I have this right? Is this amp too much for the cabs? Should I get bigger cabs to ensure more headroom?

Thanks

You got it right, (two 8 ohm cabs connected parallel, make a 4 ohm load), but when people
refer to "insuring more headroom" they usually mean, using an amp of higher wattage.

Those cabs should work great for a rock band sound, but I'd suggest just about any other brand of amp.

you'll love the cabs and hate whats coming out of it. Buy a used peavey/ashdown/fender/hartke, really anything thats not behringer. Their amps don't really have "good watts", although you probably won't be able to beat the price tag. You should be able to find something for a little more money that will be muuuuch better without much problem
