Amp Help!!!

[kev]

Dear Symphony X BB amp guru's,

I am planning on buying a 120 watt head and a 400 watt cabinet, however I need to clear up something.
Could anybody tell me if the head will only make the cab produce a max of 120 watts out of it?

and this would mean that i wud only use less than 1/2 its power, Right??

HELP!

cheers

(that's the 5150, right?)
Anyway, if it's a tube amp, it will produce ABOUT TWICE its rated power when cranked.

And more speakers are done for better projection of all frequencies first, power handling second.

Cheers for the reply mate!

Basically, im looking for the cheapest possible option of more power.

Im hopefully gonna buy the crate head:

And was looking at this behringer cab:

however, there is a 200w version, but what im getting at here is:

Because the crate head is only 120W and the cab would be 400w , would i only get 120w out of the cab? So it wud make it pointless buying something so big and mite as well buy a 200w?

I have know idea about big amps whatsoever, so cheers if u can help me mate!

I can't see the Crate head you're talking about...

You might have a better chance of getting an answer on the Harmony Central Amps Forum. Lots of knowlegable people over there.
