I trust you guys to help me out more than the Amps forum, Im thinking of adding a tvx 210 to my 410 and running my red knob concert bass at 2ohms. Is this good or bad and what should I know about running a 30+ yeard old amp hard?

The only thing to think about is that if both cabs are 4 ohm then the 210 will get half the available power, meaning each of the 10's in the 210 will have twice the power of each 10's in the 410. Just make sure they can handle it.

Also, I have run vintage solid state heads at 2 ohms with no problems. If you smell anything burning back it off a bit.

Good luck!

As long as the amp is rated for 2 ohms there should be no problem. There's really nothing scary about running amps at 2 ohms as long as they are rated for it.

To expand on the previous post, if you really want to add another cab to your 410 I'd go with another 410 or something like a 215 so your power is more evenly distributed.

+1You'll be really pushing the 2-10" while the 4-10" will barely break a sweat.
