Ohm stuff

[Indigo Montoya]

Hey guys, I'm checking out a Hartke lh500, and I want to play it with a hartke ak115 cab. the cab is 8 ohms, at 400 watts, while the head is 500 watts, at 4 ohms. That's the thing, though- all the websites say it's 4 ohms, but on the actual head it has 2 8ohm inputs. I'm just wondering if the aforementioned two pieces of gear would work well together- no melting the speakers, getting good sound, and overall just works totally how it's supposed too. Any advice or help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Two 8ohm cabs in parallel (nearly all amps and cabs wire parallel ins and outs) makes 4ohms.

There's a whole lot of good info in the sticky thread.

The stickies are a good place to read through.
The LH500 should output about 350 watts into an 8 ohm load (speaker cab). Should work fine, whether one 15" cab will give enough volume is up to whom you play with and where you play.
