Frequently Asked Questions About Bass Half/Full Stacks
Impedance ensures the amplifier and speaker cabinet work together efficiently; mismatched impedance can cause distortion or damage.
A full stack (head + two cabinets) provides significantly more volume and low-end; a half stack (head + one cabinet) is a good compromise for most situations.
12-inch speakers are a common choice, offering a good balance of low-frequency response and portability, though 15-inch speakers provide even more low-end.
