I purchased a 2x12 (16 ohm) cab to play with my Kemper.
Matrix GT1000 has 1000w at 8 Ohm and 650 Watts (at 16 ohm) coming out and the cab only 120 wats (2x V30 speakers) when Briged Mode selected.
I rehearsed yesterday with the Matrix full volume (1 channel 500 watts, not bridged) and Kemper at -10db and still it was not loud enough....but the lights in the Matrix were constantly blinking (that means that 25% of the full power was coming out from the Matrix.
25% of 500 is 125 Watts, which is a bit more than the cabinet can handle.
But specs, say this:
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONSNumber of channels- 2
Watts per channel rms @ 4 ohms- 500Watts per channel
rms @ 8 ohms- 325Watts per channel
rms @ 16 ohms- 150 W (is this all I got????)
Video of the lights blinking all the time
