Members UllyssesSB Posted March 16, 2008 Members Share Posted March 16, 2008 Okay, so my new Mesa/Boogie express has two external speaker jacks... 2x4OHM outputs for use with 8OHM speakers. Any ideas on what sort of cab I should get to fill a venue of maybe 500? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members walfordr Posted March 16, 2008 Members Share Posted March 16, 2008 No. The best way to fill a venue for 500 people is to use the PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members metallica_00 Posted March 16, 2008 Members Share Posted March 16, 2008 PA allows you to get a better mix but some times you don't always have that option and I have played 500 seat auditoriums with no PA, just my amp. At the time I was using a Mesa Single Recto and a Mesa 1x12" and had plenty of volume but I wish I had a vertical 2x12" so I could get the coupling effect with the ground and a speaker projecting a bit higher up for a bit more clarity. I dunno how many watts your express it, but you could get away with a 1x12" with a big cab and a high wattage speaker (mine was the oversize cab with the 90W Black Shadow) or a 2x12". 4x12" isn't worth the sacrifice if you have to carry it around all the time IMO.
