Will chaining sound the same?

[jarrhead]

Im sure it's buried in the FAQ which is hours of reading nobody really does anyways.

Or not.

Whatever is, Will putting two GK Neo212 speakers together sound the same as the Neo412?

Also, on a side note, I KNOW this is in the FAQ...

How do you chain cabs together? Specifically GK Neo

The Neo212-II bass cabinet from GK's Artist series is now lighter and smaller than ever before—is a front-ported cabinet housing 2 custom-designed cast-frame neodymium 12" loudspeakers which deliver high sound output at a fraction of the weight of conventional speakers. A Paragon horn tweeter delivers your top end with brilliance and clarity.

The Gallien-Krueger Neo212-II performs beautifully, with consistent response from top to bottom, plenty of definition in the highs and midrange, and a fat low-end. It switches between standard full-range operation or biamped with GK's biamp system. Both Speakon-style and 1/4" connectors are provided. The Neo212-II bass speaker cabinet is constructed from rugged 11-ply poplar, wrapped in heavyweight Tolex, and fitted with sturdy, interlocking corners and a 16-gauge steel grille. 600W power handling. 8-ohm impedance.

nope.

almost. differemt volume cabs will sound a bit different but overall it may be close.

biggest worry is if your amp can handle the load of both of those cabs. not knowing what they are getting those specs and checking the faq may help.

212 has 600W Power Rating.

I'm getting a 1001-RBII so its 480 @ 8 and 700 @ 4 (if I remember right)

so I can send 480 to the 212 (clipping much?)
and then 350 to both when chained.

 

[jarrhead]

and when you say "almost"

What would the differences really be?

 

[TrevorOfDoom]

minumum ohms on the head? what's the rating on the cabs?

this information matters so much more than power ratings.

MOVED TO OT

If you are getting a 1001, just plug in each cab to your head. Done.
