The perfect extension cab for Ampeg Rb?

[abarson]

Cabinets have rated maximum power they can receive, amplifiers deliver those watts. If you connect a 1 watt amplifier to a 450 watt capable cabinet, it's still only 1 watt of delivered power.

From the RB210 manual
Output power: 500 Watts RMS @ 4 5% THD+N (with external speaker) 250 Watts RMS @ 8 2% THD+N
The extension cabinet should be able to accommodate at least 250 watts RMS. A 150 watt extension cabinet would not be a good match.

The extension cab recommendation is 150W @ 8 ohms, the PF115 is 450W @ 8 ohms. This combination wouldn't blow the RB 210?

? Speakers don't produce power, they take it.

Also, the ext cab recommendation is not 150w. I don't know where you got that number

I’ve got my rb210 paired with an ampeg PF115LF and the power and tone is awesome!

Nearly the same here, but I'm running the PF-115HE

Hello I’m new here I got an Ampeg rb210 a few months ago. And while it’s good, I feel like for what I play (which is aggressive music) it’s needing some extra bottom end and punch. I was thinking the Ampeg 15e might be what I’m looking for since it’s 8ohms. I also could get a used swr son of Bertha 15 for under 200$ what do you guys think? Also I usually have the amp halfway up when playing

I agree with some here, for me the pf 115HE pairs very nicely
