What amp can do 2 ohms?

David Eden WT405 and WT550.

If that 210 was 8 Ohms I would say go for it. An impedance mismatch like (the 210 will get the same amount of power as the 410, straining the speakers on the smaller cab more) that isnt recommended.

The 2x10 cab can handle 700 watts the 4x10 can do 500 watts. i think I'll be fine.

Thunderfunk 800 TFB800-B2 and the Thunderfunk 600 TFB600-B2.

The peavy mark VIII is 800 watt, 2 ohm. and it dosent sound badd, its got a smooth bottom, and a nice top

The Sunn 1200s/fender bassman 1200, the fender 300pro, svt cl and vr, Ashdown abm 900 (runs two power amp outputs @ 4ohms each), fender mb1200 with whatever pre ya want and the fender 1200 TB?...GB 1200...mesa big block I think..

Sunn 1200s = epic amp.

Has two separate amps which you can make your 2ohms at 540w or separate both cabs and get 360w@4ohms x2 cabs. 720watts

My Carvin B2000 and Carvin BX500 will both do 2 Ohms. The B2000 puts out 2,050 watts @ 2 Ohms. The BX500 puts out 500 watts @ 4 Ohms or 2 Ohms.

Because i have a 210 and a 410 cab that are both 4 ohms. I was thinking of pairing them up for an out door gig.

Why not use a two channel amp and connect one cabinet to each channel? The amp will be happy, your speakers will be happy and you get the output from two cabinets with twice as much power as a one channel amp.

BTW- bridging an amp requires that the load impedance not be less than 4 Ohms, in most cases. Read the warnings in the amplifier spec sheets before connecting two cabinets in parallel.

Acoustic Image Focus, I think the Iamp800 will go to 2 ohms as well.

The iAmp800 will indeed do 2 ohms. It's my main gigging amp, and I run it below 4 all the time (3 or 4 cabs).

Peavey Mark VIII XP 602 watts at 2 ohms.

I was gonna Mention this too.
(this time I figured I'd actually read the thread to see if anyone posted it. )

Mine was only 99 bux at GC. Served me well at the practice space for several years (even gigged it a few times) , until I sold it to somebody else.

Most of the higher powered heads and all cabinets for the current lineup of glockenklang will do 2.7...weird # I know but german made so..

 

[Chef]

I'm unaware of any GK head that will do 2 ohms.

Most high end tube amps will.
I think GK's and GB's will as well(don't quote me on that)

Traynor 800 watt hybrids will as well.

Marshalls will but the run 4 ohm with 1 cab/2 ohm with 2.

+1, as I ran an 8 ohm 410 with an 8 ohm 210 for a really long time and had similar problems...

Although, I do have to admit that those problems weren't apparent until I was running them at near-deafening volumes.

Plenty of info elsewhere on TB re why mixing diff cabs with only one amp doesn't work that well. It just doesn't. Period. Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluding themselves IMO.

^^^Disagree.
Did it for years, with no ill results; and in fact, still do sometimes.

"It never works under any circumstances" is as mis-informative as saying "it works well under all circumstances."

Peavey Firebass 700 will do 2 ohms. i got mine for $150 including shipping.
