Daisy Chaining 4 cabs from 2 outputs?
« on: June 15, 2010, 08:44:09 pm »
On at least one occasion I've seen an amp's instruction manual discourage daisy chaining 2 cabs from the same output, but I don't see the problem. Am I wrong?

I ask because I have four 1x15, 8 ohm cabs I'd like to run from a single Model T. The 2 ohm load wouldn't be a problem, and I see no reason that I can't safely run 2 cabs from each of the Model T's 2 outputs.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

It's usually not a problem with good sturdy speaker cables. Don't use instrument (coax) cables.

As long as you don't go below the amps lowest load limit...you should have no problems.  4 - 8ohm cabs in parellel is a 2ohm load.
