Keep this in mind .
Do to the way the Human ear responds to sound if you had a 10 watt amp running thru one speaker and wanted to get it to be twice as loud by means of just wattage you would then need to step up to a 100 watt amp, or you could just add another speaker.

So a original SVT tube amp on its own with its 320 watts is not twice as loud as a Kustom 200 for example, but it does have just amp wise 3 times the clean head room.

Now let's factor in even just running one of those SVT cabinets with there 8 10" drivers and now you can see where the added volume at your ear comes about.

The Fender PS400 amp( for guitar or bass) with its 435 watts was a monster!
But it had a special made output transformer made such that you needed 3 cabinets to get all of that 435 wats of RMS power.

These where offered with either a a big 4-12" cabinet for guitar, or a 1-18" cabinet for bass.

At the 1974 trade show I was allowed to play bass thru one of these powering two of the 1-18" cabinets and one of the 4-12" cabinets all at the same time, and as you might guess it was insane
