WHY ME!?!?!?!?!

Man, don't people read up on how to do stuff anymore? This info will be in the manual for your amp!

Bass amps 101, never use a guitar cable to hook up an amp to speakers.:eek:

There's a 99.9% chance that this is the problem, and I hope your brand new amp and cab is still OK.
 
dude, glad to see that you finally got your head, but sorry to read about the problem

read thru the whole thread & all i have to say is, do not,, repeat,, do not plug your head to your cab without a proper shielded speaker connection cable, either 1/4" or speakon

thats the whole problem right there

i know it sucks to have to wait till you get the speakon, but wait till you get the speakon
