Hey all, I have a Hot Rod Deville 212 that I purchased around 2004 love the amp but lately my band mates have been complaining about bleeding ears - tinnitus - that sort of thing since it is loud. So I thought that I'd give the Bulgera PS1 (power soaker) a try. Now to hook it up. It's the type that goes between the amp head and speakers. Not an effects loop type thing. The amp has not been modded whatsoever.
I never was good with trying to understand impedance and such - but between reading manuals and forums here and other places, i'm now more confused as i ever was . . .
Reading the manual of the PS1 states to match impedance of the amplifier and has a dedicated input jack for 4, 8 and 16 ohms each. Easy enough. (or so I thought)
Reading the manual of the Hot Rod Deville shows an illustration of two speakers with 4 ohms on each speaker. Reading further in the manual I'm presented with a table listing the specifications of the amplifier. IT states "2 12inch 8ohm speakers. . . " "Power Output 60w at 4ohm or 2ohm. . . " So I'm left with the question which of the 3 input (4,8, or 16ohm) jacks am I connecting the amp to?
Thanks
Joe
