212 cabinet

[Lambda]

Hi, I have the 212 cabinet with the v30 celestion.
On the backplate are two inputs.
Can I put in an ext. Cabinet 8 ohm and how set I the switch mono/stereo.
The amp is 8 ohm

 

[Donnie B.]

Can you post a picture of the backplate?

The switch needs to be in mono if you want to use the THRU out to an extension cab.
It only becomes two inputs when the switch is in stereo.

Ok thanks, but can i blow up the amp when i put an extensial cabinet 8 ohm in the thru input and use both cabinet together

Should be fine. What's the power handling of your extension cab?

Should be fine. What's the power handling of your extension cab?

Power handling extension cab is 100 watt 8 ohm
Power handling ENGL cab is 120 watt 8 ohm
Amp power is 100 watt 8 ohm.

You should be fine.

You should be fine.

So you are shure that when i plug my amp in the ENGL and plug my other cabinet in the thru of the ENGL, nothing can go wrong with the amp.
Because at Thomann site, they said it can damage the amp.

 

[Donnie B.]

I can't guarantee anything. If you want to be 100% sure call Thomann.

Ok thanks already for your help.

You might want to check the Engl manual. I'm pretty sure the thru is wired in parallel. If you hook up two 8 ohm cabs using the thru port, you need to plug the first cabinet into a 4 ohm jack and not an 8 ohm jack on your amp.

Pretty sure Fantom is right here. It is loaded with 16 ohm speakers, in mono it is @ 8ohms, if you use the "thru right" input jack you need to go into another 8ohm cabinet into 4ohm input on head (but 8ohm input on the head is technically safe as well).

Thanks all,
The amp just have one 8 ohm output.
When i see these answords... the two cab's togheter have 4 ohms... so i think it's to dangerous for to blow up the amp.
I Just go for the ENGL cab alone.

It is okay to run at 4 ohms into an 8 ohm load and vice versa, as long as it is not more than double the load (4 into 16 is 4 times and probably not safe for long/at volume) then it is perfectly fine even for the long haul. Companies like Mesa and Hughes & Kettner will put it into writing for you. honestly you have a great 2x12 and will probably gain nothing by using the boss cab, but you can try it and find out. Also you can run the engl in stereo, use just one speaker, (8ohms from the head into 1 16 ohm speaker) and then you have a oversized 1x12 that gives you more tonal and recording options.
