Carvin Bass amp BX 500

Post by David Cook »

This amp has a button in the back for either 4 ohms or 16 ohms
Would it harm this Amp if I ran a 4ohm speaker with a 8 ohm Speaker. I am using this for keyboards in a loud band
Thanks for your replies!!

I presume you're paralleling the speaker connections... on the 4 ohm setting you'll be getting pretty close, about 3 ohms. Just plug them both in and set it to 4.
