Members companyman Posted May 14, 2011 Members Share Posted May 14, 2011 is is true that solid state amps can be run at pretty much any ohm rating, someone told me that you can, true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Reauchambeau Posted May 14, 2011 Members Share Posted May 14, 2011 yes, they're not impedence specific like tube amps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members companyman Posted May 14, 2011 Author Members Share Posted May 14, 2011 cool, so I can run, say, a 16ohm cab from a 8ohm output on the amp then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Reauchambeau Posted May 14, 2011 Members Share Posted May 14, 2011 cool, so I can run, say, a 16ohm cab from a 8ohm output on the amp then. you should be fine, you won't draw the same amount of power from the amp though, as far as I know. if your amp is rated at 100w into an 8 ohm load, you may get half that or more into 16 ohms. I could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members companyman Posted May 14, 2011 Author Members Share Posted May 14, 2011 hmmm...I'm on the lookout for a cheap 2x12 cab for my Vox Pathfinder wich has an 8ohm out. The 8inch Weber Signature speaker I put in it sounds great, but I would like to move some more air with a cab. I wasn't aware that the ohm rating of the cab effected volume.

I'm fairly sure it works that way, my PA amps put out almost double into 4 ohms mode as opposed to 8 ohms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
