Proud owner of a vintage SVT ('73/74). Small in the picture but oh so heavy to carry!

am i able to join the ampeg club
holy hell!
how sweet does that look!
is that setup working for you now then?
andy
Bigger, actually! With the road case it weighs more than my bass and I together.
Sounds great - I'm playing it now through a vintage Acoustic 4x15 reflex. The weight is a serious trade-off though. If I had the budget I would add a smaller amp for gigging and leave this bad boy in the studio...
i wish that to!
would love to be able to run a 2x15/810 rig but not gonna happen until my band gets signed and also acquires some roadies! lol
also checked your stuff out! nice!

Hey ampeg club, I need some help
Can someone help me out here?
I have an ampeg SVT4pro (tons of power-maybe too much) I usually run it mono bridged to an ampeg 610. But i'd like to have a smaller cab for smaller gigs as well. I'd like to get an Aguilar (sorry if this offends anyone) DB210 8ohm cab. Will this work? and how? can I run the SVT4pro in the dual mono mode and only use one of the power amps? or is this just way too much power for the aguilar cab? Will I just have to get/use a less powerful head?
Here are the specs on each.
Aguilar db210:
Power Handling: 350 watts RMS
MAX SPL: 124 dB
Impedance: 8 ohms
AMPEG SVT4PRO:
OUTPUT POWER RATING
1600 Watts Mono-Bridged @ 4 Ohms (1200 Watts Continuous)
1200 Watts Mono-Bridged @ 8 Ohms (900 Watts Continuous)
2 x 900 Watts @ 2 Ohms (600 Watts Continuous)
2 x 625 Watts @ 4 Ohms (490 Watts Continuous)
2 x 350 Watts @ 8 Ohms (300 Watts Continuous) ** Would the BD210 be able to handle this?
Thanks in advance

if your gonna use a single 210 just use one side of the amp.
the pro puts out 350w and the cab at 8 ohms takes 350, sounds good to me?
you could have a cab on either side of the amp.

That is what I thought, but I don't want to drop $700 on the cab unless i know for sure. Also, I tried running just one half of the power amp (as suggested) with a shs 410 cab I have and got no sound. Not sure what why.
Thanks for the feedback!!
