When running two cabinets.......?

[blumuz123]

I know this is basic to some but I really don't know the answer to this. I am used to thinking in terms of configuring ohms for PA system speakers and amps.

When running two cabinets, (each eggie 1X12 cabinet is 16 ohms), do I set the mod 50 on 16ohms then plug one cabinet in each of the mod50 speaker outs? or do I have to somehow divide it and set the mod50 head to a different ohm?

Is it the same for the Seminar head and Tourmaster 4100?


thanks for the help

Usually the outs are wired in parallel, which means you use two 8 ohm outs for two 16 ohm cabs.

Best to explain these things are Mesaboogie amp manuals, in the later section about speaker connections,,,

Yes, flip the switch to 8 ohm and run both cabs out of the back of the head. Two 16 ohm cabs/parallel = 8 ohm load. Man I bet two of these 112's just sounds monsterous!!
