You might even do a better job of lining up the labels :)

Nice one, this is exactly what i thought of yes :)
I assume you had the same thought of better only one cable instead of two.
Did you just two splitter cabs, or every cab the same?
In theory i could do all with three sockets, and on the slaves the 4p input would only get power on 1+-; then cabs are interchangeable again and all have three sockets.

did you think about splitter cable? There are breakout boxes i found, to end a 4p cable in two 2p sockets...even with 8p cables into 4 sep 2p sockets. Probably better boxed then fuzzed with the wiring.

@seth:
Yeah a20 only 1ru; slightly less power, but still banging for sure.
The knockoffs also offer digitals, for example d4-3500...but this would flip my breaker when loading fully. Gives you 4*3600w on 4 ohm in one ru height.

The fp already 2ru height, and by the known bad cooling i'd add 1ru air (rack has enough space) to have the heat covered and shared on two breakers.

And yes overpowered. I could run 8 of the t30 from one unit, so 16 in total, in case i double the cab count.
The cheap amps on the edge of their power have a tendency to die faster, so i'd go for overpowering first.
I'll go with these i think, and take a look how they react when the bass didn't stop for 48 hours^^

This is one of the few times I think dual driver cabs, series wired, could make a lot of sense... especially with these high power amplifiers. Four cabs per channel easy. Eliminates the need for creative wiring and jack solutions too.

Mmmm I can only imagine how hard 8x dual loaded T30s would punch... do it!
