technical question about amp heads

[Sune]

Hello, if I bought a head, would I be able to connect it to my regular PA speakers?

You can see the speaker spec's here:

It's the PA15 model.

Would I need some kind of special jack's or whatever?

Yes,providing you match the ohms impedences...

Re: technical question about amp heads

What kind of jack would I need? Do you have a picture, or a link or something?
And what ohms does most head's use??

Thanks for your help.

assuming that the amp head will have 1/4" jacks youll need a 1/4" to speakon cable which shouldnt be hard to find. the cab is 8 ohms which should be ok for your head.

you can run a guitar amp into a pa cab but it wont sound the same as if it was into a guitar cab

Ok, thanks, it wouldn't be a long term solution, but it's just that if I buy a head I wouldn't be able to afford a guitar cab at the same time, and I could use the PA speakers as a solution until I have enough money for a guitar cab.

doesn't seem to be a practical solution to me. If you DO do that though, be careful, if you don't, you can destroy the amp or speakers, or BOTH.

Well, if there's such a big chance of ruining the gear, then I will wait until I can afford both. I was just thinking about it.
