Ohm Load issue solution??

[SVTDOUBLEBUCK]

I have the B2R head, it puts out 350 watts at 4 ohms, I am running it through the 4 ohm svt-410hlf and the 8 ohm svt-210He, is this a problem? am I getting the full potential of the head? what ohms is this setup running at?? What can I do to get the full power, 2-4 ohm cabs? selling the 2x10 and just using the 4x10?? please help!

I believe that amp is 350W at 4 ohms. So it is not recommended to run a 4ohm cabinet in conjunction with an 8ohm cabinet (Both cabs together equal a 2.67 ohm load). You might notice the amp getting hot, or shutting down during use.

You are running at 2.6 ohms, better stop that before your amp blows up. It needs a minimum of 4, so two 8ohm cabs would be best. Or just use the 4x10, it's 4ohms, perfect.

+1 to the above 2 posts. Either one 4 ohm cab, or two 8 ohm cabs. Nothing else.

You might also consider reading the manuals before mucking about with expensive pieces of equipent.

Seriously. Take 10 minutes out of your life and save yourself some serious heartache.

Here's a handy guide for you:

SPEAKER COMBINATIONS/OHMS (4OHM Minimum):
Two 16 ohm speakers = 8 ohms (OK)
Two 8 ohm speakers = 4 ohms (OK)
Three 8 ohm speakers = 2.66 ohms (NO)
Four 8 ohm speakers = 2 ohms (NO)
Two 4 ohm speakers = 2 ohms (NO)
One 4 & one 8 ohm speaker = 2.66 ohms (NO)
