Hello I have a Ampeg Micro VR 200 watts and it has two 1/4" inputs for the speakers.... One for 150W @ 8 ohms and the other for 200W @4 ohms... But my PEAVEY 410 tx speaker cab only has one input.... Is the any way I can run the two into one???? I'd really appreciate the help... And I thank you before hand....
You only need to use one. Obviously, look up the impedence of the cab and use the appropriate jack. sending both 8 and 4 ohm power to the cab will most likely damage it.
17. SPEAKER OUTPUTS: These 1/4" TS output jacks supply speaker-level power to the speaker cabinet. The rated power output is 200 watts rms into 4 ohms. The two identical outputs are wired in parallel, and you can use either one, or use both. Make sure the total speaker impedance load is 4 ohms or greater. For example, you could connect: Two 16 ohm speakers (an 8 ohm load), Two 8 ohm speakers (a 4 ohm load) or one 4 ohm speaker. From your owners manual. You're welcome.
Just use one lead son. There is nothing to gain and it makes us all jumpy when you talk about multiple amp leads. Really bad stuff happens in other situations.
Sorry... you guys answered my question before i posted the pictures... haha I feel like an idiot... But I Really appeciate it....
The only time you should connect multiple amp outputs to a single speaker is if you really hate both of them, and are secretly hoping to see both explode in a ball of flame. That's not quite what happens, but assume it will anyway, just to be on the safe side. It's kinda like "don't cross the streams", except it won't repel belligerent sumerian dieties if you try it.
Well yeah (mine is, in fact), but then we could split some hairs on terminology for a while... speaker vs cab vs drivers, then BFM could interrupt us to say you're right, and meanwhile the OP starts thinking it might be OK sometimes, and considers a preemptive strike against the marshmallows in his cupboard, and before you know it we're all roasting smores together over the smoldering remains of his rig. Best leave that topic for the more advanced class.
