 |
|
I am trying to connect a CRATE Powerblock to a CRATE GT412SL cab, but the ohms don't match up..
I bought my cab assuming I would be able to plug in witht he huge amount of options, but I don't know what to do.
I've played with the 4 ohm stereos going into the 8 ohm stereo jacks, and it sounds good, but I was wonding if any advice could be given, becasue I know it's not right?
Here's the back of my amp and cab (followed by the links to the manuals for the products). The cab has a (red) switch on it to switch configurations.
Powerblock manual:
http://www.crateamps.com/product/manuals/CPB150.pdf
Cab manual:
Unfortunately I can't find an online one, and I don't have a scanner, but it lists basic wiring information that you can deduct from the cab.
I can answer any questions about what the manual says about wiring.
Any help, much appreciated. Thankyou. |

The back of your amp says 4 ohm minimum. That doesn't mean your speakers MUST be 4 ohms. Higher impedances won't hurt anything (you will lose some efficiency due to a higher "load" on the amp). Too low an impedance is another story though. |
