Hi, I play guitar and have a question about a difference I see in guitar/bass world vs. hi-fi world.
- My 100 watt guitar head is connected to a speaker cabinet with four 25 watt speakers
- My 80 watt guitar combo is connected to a 150 watt speaker
- The rule of thumb is to have your total speaker wattage higher than your amp wattage so you don't blow them out.
- Lower wattage speakers will break up at high volumes (a good thing), but too much costs a lot of money to fix
- Lower wattage speakers will break up at high volumes (a good thing), but too much costs a lot of money to fix
- In audio, I see a lot of "You're going to want at least 100 watts to drive these speakers" Never a discussion about too much wattage, only not enough. In music gear, never a discussion about "not enough" wattage.
