Beta Lead into two 412L cabs...
« on: June 04, 2011, 09:22:07 am »
I have a Beta lead amp and just acquired two awesome 412L cabs. The beta lead has 2 speaker outs and reads: 4 ohms, 100 watt max. The 412L's read: impedence 8 ohm, continuous power 160 watts. Can I just go from the 2 speaker outs to the cabs - one cable for each? Sorry for the simpe post and I read all I could find on this - like lots of others, I'm confused on the ohm/impedence thing. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure that the Beta Lead outputs are in parallel, which would mean plugging in two 8 ohm speakers will give you a 4 ohm load.
Should work fine, and be pretty freekin' loud also.

I had a Beta Lead and one 412L, and it was plenty loud, and sounded fantastic! The two 412L cabs are just going to slay with all that nice mid-low the 412L puts out.

Thanks for the quick response - works great!! And yes, it sounds fantastic with both cabs at all volumes - at higher volume it's definitely paint-peeling loud...
