Two jacks on a cab would be used for daisy chaining.

No dumb questions. MI equipment has been poorly documented and standardized from the beginning.

Cabs have multiple jacks normally for connecting multiple cabinets together in parallel.
Two wires from one head to one cab will share the same load as one cable would have. No additional wattage, because its the same load.

Thanks, and damn it how the heck did I forget that, that's what I did when I had the Genz Benz 410 and the Avatar 210 for half-arsed 610 set up. Man don't get old and have migrianes your brain just melts away, they should revoke my BA, and hand me a shovel and gloves.

Beating a dead and decomposed horse here, but as awesome looking/sounding as T-40s are, they are heavy as fugg. A one hour set? No prob. Beyond that and it's sore shoulder city.

There's a pretty rad female local bassist in a band Supervoid is friends with that rocks a T-40. She might be 90 lbs soaking wet. I have no idea how she pulls it off, but she rocks the hell out of it.

I just love front seaters!!!
Even if she let herself go she would only risk getting a juicier arse and bigger tattas, front seatters for the win!
I like to call that fifty year pussy!!!

Does front seater mean you can bear to face them during?

There's quite a few people in school who should be offered a shovel and gloves...

If you are a senior level business major and can't calculate profit what the hell are you doing?

Really? Wow there's some dumb kids in your class. I ain't never had no biznezz book learnin but i can calculate profit, margin, markup, etc. I bet a lot of them think that markup and margin are the same thing, too.

so did you blow a fearful?

(cue its not possible jokes)

ITS NOT POSSIBLE THEY SAY!

In a word... yes.

I pumped my fEARful stack harder than ever with the Hartke, during the first jam it was overheating, 2nd jam I stupidly plugged it all in same as normal, and the bottom 12" blew. Some people alluded that since I was running the amp bridged and the cabs daisychained, and only 1 cab blew, that it was either the crossover or the speaker's fault. It would make sense that if the speaker was on its way out, the amp wouldnt have a solid 4 ohm load on it and would overheat / go into standby like it did. I'm really hoping its not the Hartke's fault, but I'm leery to run the Hartke + 2x15 as a "test", I'm not sure of any other way to determine the issue.

There were alot of people dumbfounded that it was possible to blow a fEARful, but I realize 99% of TB fEARful owners are barely pushing them. I had those suckers pumping out bass I've only ever heard from a dual 2x15 setup... so they were definitely up near their "limits". Had alot of fuzz, some delay, some flange going on too, so between volume, saturation, feedback, oscillation, its pretty much the perfect storm to create speaker goo. Maybe those hi-fi rigs just don't cut it like a simple 2x15.

People always slip through the cracks and get in, with school of you can pass though that's all it takes you can't really get fired.

When they get a job though..

And what dumbasses markup makes ladies purdy of course, margin is just fake butter.

In your circumstance I would not bridge into your Hartke.
What I would do is run each side one at a time at 2 ohms UNbridged. Then if, possible both sides at 2 ohms simultaneous.
That should spread the load out to more speakers and minimize the chances of losing another cab.

I wouldn't suggest this to anyone but a doomer, cause no one else would do the work to move enough cabs.

I remember bill F said something a long the lines of bridging causes voltage swings or something so if your Hartke was ailing and set to such levels it could happen.

Actually he said that on a thread where a guy was gonna bridge a poweramp and use it with two gk 2x12's

But then again I'm not bill F so I'm probably just taking up space to say that.
