Power/impedance

Hi. I normally run a Rumble 200 combo and a Rumble 210 cab to get the full 200watts. I recently picked up a Behringer (hold the flames...hehe) BX3000T for peanuts for a backup amp. It's actually a great sounding, versatile amp. I did check with my amp guy and he said Behringer have some reliability probs but since the amp is quite a few years old, if it's still going it'll probably be fine....:D.

My question is, if I run the Behringer in to the Rumble 210 8ohm cab would I be right in assuming I'd be getting around 200watts. The BX3000T is rated at 300w @4ohms and the cab 350w continuous.
 
Never would. I just would like to know what my output would be just using the BX3000T through the 210 box. I only use the 210 box with the Rumble 200 to get more headroom.

If I wanted to run both amps I'd do it with a line out from the BX3000T/210 cab to the Rumble 200.....but that won't happen.
 
Since Behringer never published actual power output at 8 ohms, it could be anywhere between 150-200 watts.
Actually, Behringer ripped off the Ashdown MAG 300 design, and Ashdown never stated power at 8 ohms either.
