Neddy Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Looking at a 2x12 with a 30w creamback and a 25w blackback. Could this be used with marshall 50w head or would I need a cabinet with more headroom? Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Is that a Marshall 50W valve amp, or a 50W solid-state amp..? The valve amp has the potential of blowing the cones off, if mis-used; the solid state should be OK if volume levels are reasonable. I'm assuming, of course, that these two speakers are in a suitable cab (sealed or open-back..?). Wattage is not a good unit of measure, though, for this type of question. The best unit is Listening (with one's ears...). If it starts to sound 'off', back off a bit. Don't expect too much, but back in the '60s, we played through just about any combination of mis-matched gear. Yes, we busted a few speaker cones, too.
