Peavey Tour 450 or 700?

[Nick_Bass410]

I've decided to buy one of these amps along with a 4x10 cab. Which one should I get? I will also probably get an 8x10 cabinet in a few years, so maybe I should get the 700 watt amp.

Basically what I want to know is - Can the Tour 700 still be used with a 4x10 cab? or are they meant for 8x10's only?

Please forgive me for my noob questions!

I don't know too many details on those amps or cabs, but yes you can use the 700 with a 4x10, or the 450 with a 8x10. How loud do you need to be? 450 watts through a 4 ohm 8x10 would probably way louder than any gig id ever play. Then again im looking at a 500 watt GK head, mostly because its 4lbs.

I'd always would go for the larger amp, if the price is the same,

If you are buying used, there shouldn't be much difference in price. If you are buying new, there is only about $80 difference in price.

Yeah, go with the bigger one. I'd rather have the power and not need it that need the power and not have it.

BTW: I have a Max700, and it is LOUD.

Definitely get the bigger amp, always good to have more headroom.

Thanks for the input everyone, I went with the Tour 700. Looks like one of the best amps in it's price range.
