Re: help with head cab stuff
ths cab says 16 ohms, 4 ohms (mono) and eight ohms (stereo). there is a switch between 16 ohms mono, and 4 ohms mono
the 8 ohms stereo is under the 4 ohms mono.
it is located right under the and. get it????? lol sorry.
there are two inputs and one output. but in the input it has left right, and 100 watts 50 watts per side. i don't get it.

but there is no switch on the head that says 4 ohms or any switch on the back of the head at all.

plug the speaker output of the amp into the 4 ohm mono input of your cabinet. simple as that. however, as YJM already pointed out, your amp puts out more power than the speakers are rated to handle, so you do run a slight risk of cooking your speakers if you push them too hard.
as for the 400 watts / 60Hz thing, ignore it. it's probably just indicating how much power the amp consumes from the wall, as 60Hz is the frequency at which the AC in the wall is in the US.

also, if it's a solid state amp, i believe you can get away with running the cab in 16-ohm mode and get a drastic cut in the power coming from the amp, so you can run it at higher volumes and not worry about your speakers.

well it is actually 130 watts but it still more power than the cab.

Re: help with head cab stuff
yeah, if there's no impedance switch on the back of the amp, then 4 ohms is the minimum load, and a cab with greater impedance would get less power from the amp. example: i have a power amp that does 300 watts into 2 ohms, but only 210 into 4 ohms, and 170 into 8 ohms. so if you have a higher impedance cab, you'll get less than 130 watts, possibly a lot less.
