Not exactly. Gotta save for my stuff. I want to be able to keep it light and powerful. Used is my friend.
Is it possible to fill a medium-large restaurant/lodge with a 2x10?
No, pinhole leak in radiator, and water pump bearings worn out. Temp down here is fine for running 180 degree thermostat over 195. Hoses and belts older and cracked.
No need to run 195 when it doesn't get much cooler than 50 degrees?
Not really. Used market sucks here. No chain music stores either.
My cab can handle 400w. Should I upgrade cab first or amp that'll run 400w after calculating impedance?

Be careful, the prop setting is based on a 195* base temp setting.
If you already know this, tell me to shut up?
Fender 500w into a GB Uber 410 or Ampeg 4-Vb into a SVT-410 HLF.
On a good day, both cabs through the V4
Overkill?
No highway driving here, most speed limits 20, with some 35-45, lots of stop and go, half the time I'm driving 1-2 miles, and never get up to temp.
See any issue running 180*?

Hartke cans are actually pretty decent. Obviously used is good, all your big name cans are decent.
Peak Watt numbers are important the harder you push the amp.
2 2x10 cans might be best, totaling 4 ohms would be sweet
Shipping pretty brutal to your place?
Drive it and see. Computer may think it's not warmed up and run on the closed loop to operate the choke circuit
Run different after 5-6 starts?
Not that I've noticed, but I'll keep an eye on it this week and see if its behaving differently.
Anything in particular I should be looking for?
Closed loop adds more fuel to help heat up the motor, probably run better!
Might see higher idle speed
Vehicle have a tachometer?
Or a tacometer?
No, no tach.
Actually, Oil pressure has been up a little higher then normal, until engine warms, which could indicate higher idle?
Maybe. If it acts bad after a week or if the check engine light comes on, let me know.
Ever bypass the OBDII to get error codes?
I'm pretty sure I'm running closed loop for 80% of my driving.
No, how do bypass OBDII?
Paper clip
All you need for basic troubleshooting will code through a series of flashes of the check engine light
Ever go to ck5.com?
