Ohm settings [message #27633]

Hi, I'm just starting to learn about amp and speaker specs and wonder if someone could give me a hand. I normally run two little combo amps together. One is a Peavey Audition 110 (25watts @ 8Ohms) and the other is a Dean Markley K20 (15watts @ 4Ohms). I normally use the Peavey's preamp out jack into the DM's instrument input (the peavey's preamp out jack sends all the amp's processed sound out, including volume, eq, and reverb). The Peavey takes care of the bass and tight distortion and the Dean fills out the clean and highs. It all sounds pretty good together. I've been doing this for years now, so I guess I'm alright. But shouldn't there be a problem because the ohms are rated differently? Or does the dean's power amp not really care what is put into the instrument jack?

If you're using the preamp output of one and running that into the input of the other, the speaker impedance won't matter. If I understand what you're saying and this is what you're doing, the load isn't changing and each amplifier is still driving its own set of speakers.
