I need to power my 400 watt 16 ohm mono cab you see.
The questions on power amps, has any one EVER used one from ebay? I see alot of decent looking ones for around 250-300$ which is unfortunatly what my budget is allowing.
The questions for the Ohms masters are as followed. If you have a 16 ohm cab that handles 400 watts. You want to run about 300 16 ohm wats to the cab so as not to over load it, correct? OR what I have heard is, since alot of amps only run 8 ohms, if you run double the power through 16 ohms, it will work well also? So instead of 300 watts of 16 ohms, try 600 watts of 8 ohms?
Would that work well? I have got alot of different answers, but none actually pertaining to the 8 vs 16 ohm question. If anyone can please help, I would appreciate it, I cant seem to find a 16 ohm power amp.
I know The Dark Wolf said his 1400watt behringer power amp works well, but thats 1400 watts of 4 ohm. Not even close to 16. Since its such high power though, does it even out? like 1400/4 = 350 watts in to a 16 ohm?
Stupid ohms.
Thanks and sorry in advance for the bother : P
