Rebel 30 Impedance Setting Question...

[briguy73]

Admittedly a bit of a noob question but in the interest of not frying my new rebel 30 head... Are the speaker output jacks independent of each other? For instance I currently have 2 - 1x12 cabs...16ohm ea, so I run out of the main speaker output, set the ohms at 8 on the back of the head and daisy chain the cabs...all is good. But what if I want to run my two 1x12's daisy chained out of the primary speaker output and then I want to run a 2x12 tourmaster cab off of the second output on the back of the rebel. Still set it at 8ohms? Should be fine right? I wouldn't change it to 4ohms on the back of the head...UNLESS i daisychained ALL the cabinets off of a single output jack? Sorry if this sounds confusing but impedance/ohms has always confused the hell out of me.

It doesn't matter whether you daisy chain all the cabs together or use both jacks on the back of the amp. They're all hooked together in parallel.

You'll need to set the amp to 4 ohms, because there are (4) 16 ohm speakers all hooked together in parallel - 16 ohms/4 = 4 ohms.

With the speakers that you have, you can run one 1x12 at 16 ohms, two 1x12's at 8 ohms, the TM cab at 8 ohms, or everything all hooked together at 4 ohms.
