Hello, Im going to make my own 2x12 amp.. so I bought a 2x12 cab, Thats taken care of. Now I just need speakers..
Im running basically a PA system, so I don't want any colouring of my sound thru the speakers, and I also am on a budget.. Heres my current set up
Guitar > Pod XT Live > Behringer A500 (pure poweramp, no effects) > this 2x12 cab
So, I am looking for what kinda speakers I should buy that would be best for me, in terms of money/effectiveness..
My A500 says "4ohm minimum on Stereo - 233watt, and 8ohm minimum on Mono - 500watt..." So I know I am going to need two 8ohm speakers to wire in series or paralell to achieve the 4ohm minimum for Stereo.. So I know two 8 ohm speakers..
I was looking on ebay, and saw some PA/car speakers, they normally have like.. "200 watts program / 450 watts peak"... now since when im doing stereo, the maximum output will be 233watts, Will that mean that these speakers will be too much for my PA? Or does it not matter how much watts the speakers can take, and wont damage my PA?
This is what im talking about, not saying these exact speakers, but would 2 of these wired in series or paralell be ok for my PA? or will it damage it because the wattage is way higher than my PA?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks
OR say if these were 8ohms, could I put two of these in my cab and run it thru the PA without damaging it?

They say like 1000watts.. would that kill my PA?
