Sorry if this seems like a dumb question but here goes....For those of you with a Tourmaster 2x12 or 4x12 cab, I noticed that the jackplate has 2 stereo inputs @ 16ohms a piece. Does this mean that you can "split the cabinet"? In other words, could I run 2 separate amps into the same cabinet, as long as the output of each amp was 16ohm? For instance, a rebel 20 through half the cabinet and say a tweaker through the other "half" at the same time? Sorry if this seems like a dumb question but just curious if any of you have actually used the "stereo" option on your cabs.
 
I have the combo, not the cabinet, but I am pretty sure that is what it means. I am pretty sure I have seen up here about people connecting two amps to those cabs.

Wouldn't this be addressed in the manual for the cabs? They are available on the Egnater website www.egnateramps.com.

:rock:
 
Guess I never thought about it, but I think it would be fine. I know I've just run one speaker at a time just playing around, so I don't see why you couldn't run another signal into the other jack.
 
Yes, each of the 16 ohm inputs connects to one speaker, so you can treat it the same way you would treat two 1x12 cabinets. Just make sure the wattage of the speaker can handle the full power output of your amp.
 
Yep you can. I have that cab. SLO in one speaker, Knucklehead Tre in the other. Not really good for any wide stereo separation IMO, need to have two sep cabs, but it does blend well and does give stereo chorus and panning some space. I don't max out the heads by any means. Pretty good cab for the $$.

Yeah, ...these kind of cabinets are deemed "stereo" cabinets because you can run them just as discussed here - with the L/R of a stereo signal fed into each speaker, or with two heads fed into one of each of the speakers.....

but the reality is that this will not give you any kind of true stereo effect. It is really more like dual mono. The separation is not enough for the listener to really experience a real stereo effect.

But, if you're mainly trying to feed two heads into it at once, and get a blended "dual amp" signal, it will certainly do the trick....
