                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[It is the sum . The power being sent to the two eight ohm cabinets will be divided equally to each cabinet which present a 4 ohm load to the amplifier (wired parallel) . Each speaker would essentially be getting 125 watts from the amp so you have some headroom , which is a good thing .]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I'm shopping for a new bass rig and I think I might go for a head/cab instead of a combo.  So now you know this is going to be a question about ohms right?   :lol:  Well, it's actually about Watts  :wink:  There is a ton of information on the Internet about this stuff and I've read a lot about it, but I"m confused about one thing.  <br><br>I'm thinking about buying a Hartke 2500:<br><a href="http://www.zzounds.com/item--HTK2500">http://www.zzounds.com/item--HTK2500</a><br>It says -  Power: 250 watts at 4 ohms, 180 watts at 8 ohms.<br><br>So my question is, if I buy a cab that handles 200 watts at 8 ohms like this one:<br><a href="http://www.zzounds.com/item--HTK210XL">http://www.zzounds.com/item--HTK210XL</a><br>It will handle the Hartke 2500 just fine because at 8 ohms the amp only puts out 180 watts.<br>But can I add another cab that handles 200 watts at 8 ohms, or will I have to get rid of the first one and buy two that handle more than 250 watts each?<br><br>In other words, is it the sum of the two cabs (200+200=400)&gt;(250) or does each have to handle greater than 250 alone?]]></content:encoded>
