So much conflicting information out there about matching ohms between heads and cabs.
My question is simple, and I just need a simple, not overexplained overtechnical answer.
I’ve got a DSL100H. This amp has one 16 ohms output and two 8 ohms outputs.
I have two 1960 cabs, they each have a 4 and 16 ohm input.
When I run the amp into one cab at 16 ohms, I can get it loud enough to almost burst my eardrums and cause permanent damage to my ears, which is what I want.
When I run the amp from the two 8ohm outputs into the 16ohm inputs on both cabs, which from what I understand is the correct way to do it, it’s only half as loud.
What’s going on here? Am I doing this all wrong? Seems not right if a full stack is not as loud as a half stack.
Any info is appreciated thanks.
