Cabinet Chains

What happens with a speaker cabinet that has an output to another cabinet?

 

In this case, I have a 2x12 120watt, 16 ohm cabinet with an output to another cabinet.

 

Does this harm the amp? Lower it from 16 to 8?

 

Or does it do nothing but add more speakers?

no harm just make sure the load matches at the head, there is a direct link between the in and send jack so it is like having 2 speaker cords coming from the amp feeding 2 cabinets. (2) 16ohm cabs = 8 ohm load at the amp

Is the second cab also 16 ohm? If it is 16 and you daisy chain the two together then that will give you 8 ohms.

If it's your Quilter you're worried about, don't. It'll accept any match or mismatch as long as you don't go as low as 2ohms. One speaker might sound louder, but no harm.

 

And Mark, you are very mathy today. :thumbsup:
