2 Kabinets, 2 poweramps - How many Ohms?

  • Hi!

    I've been using my Kemper in my home studio for 10 years now and I'm finally switching out my tube amps in the band to go all Kemper.


    I was thinking of getting a Power Kabinet, but they're hard to get here in Sweden. Also I've got an offer to buy two used non-powered Kabinets at a pretty sweet price. Just a little more than one Power Kabinet would sell for. So I'm really considering that offer.


    I would probably keep one Kabinet at home and one in our rehearsal space. The Kemper will move with me every time we play and I would love to use it at home too, if I have two Kabinets. But then I would need two poweramps, as I want to carry as little as possible between the rehearsals and my home. I don't want a rack unit, as nothing else is rack mounted. And again, I want to carry as little as possible between my home and rehearsals so I want to separate the two poweramps.


    Now to the question:

    As I'm going to have two Kabinets and my Kemper is a head unit and not a rack, I was thinking of getting two of the Harley Benton GPA-100. One for home, one for rehearsals. I mean, they're super cheap. When run at 4 ohms it gives 190 watts of power, according to Thomann. And I figure that if I ever need it, I can set up the monitor outputs to go in stereo in to the two poweramps and drive two Kabinets at 4 ohm and 190 watts each. Right? And if I daisychain the Kabinets, should I be using the 8 or 4 ohm output of the poweramp? Is there some other detail I'm not thinking about?


    Thanks a lot!

    Thanks! Yeah, it seems good enough!

    About the Ohms thing. If I daisy chain two Kabinets, would they be fed with 8 or 4 ohms?

  • So I got the two unpowered Kabinets today. My two poweramps should arrive on Monday.


    Question:

    To use both of the kabinets (with imprints) with a power amp each, should I go into output settings and select Monitor Stereo and then connect Monitor and Direct out to the power amps?


    Thanks!
