Shuttlemax 12.0 vs Magellan 800

So, s'cuse my daftness...
The load that an amp sees, during a gig, for example, does that vary a li'l?

If so, depending on what?


Impedance varies by frequency.

This graph shows the baseline impedance curve of the Emminence 2512.

The tuning of the cab also has an impact. This is the impedance curve for a large ported cab tuned to 44hz:

Here is the impedance curve for a small sealed cab:

AFAIK the impedance can also vary a bit depending on how hard you push the cab.
