Holy Trinity or Devil’s threesome?
Posted: Sun 12/24/23 12:01 pm
Hello all,
Long time listener, first time caller.
I recently acquired a Gladius JTM 18 Classic (ss rectifier) amp head, that I’ve been running through a semi-open extension cab containing 2, 10” Kendrick black frame speakers (which I believe are 8ohm speakers).
I also have on order, a Barefaced Reformer 1x12” with the much maligned Celestion Ruby driver in 16ohms.
The amp itself has the ability to switch impedance between 4, 8’ and 16 ohms as well as 2 inputs for speaker 2 cabs. So here’s my question:
Given the above parameters, what would need to happen in order for me to hook both my 2x10 and my incoming 1x12 cab to the Gladius without suffering damage? Is attempting to do so just an exercise in futility?
I await the collective wisdom of 18w gurus.
Thanks and happy holidays to everyone
