In Reply to: Bass Cabinet Impedance posted by toons on June 9, 2004 at 21:30:21:
Your bassman is rated for 4 ohms; another 4 ohm cabinet could prove too much. Get an 8 ohm box; the two paralleled will come to a bit less than 3 ohms. Two four ohm boxes comes to two ohms. With only 50 watts you're not going to get much more output with the extra box anyway, though adding the tens will help the high end. The best result would be had if you added a passive crossover box to direct the lows to the 18 and highs to the tens, which would keep the impedance where it should be; then you would want to stay with a 4 ohm box for the tens.
