Can i run a peavey 2600 with a 4 ohm load on one channel and an 8 ohm load on the other

I would think you can if the amp is rated for 4 ohms but the 4 ohm might be loader then the 8 ohm because it will get more power.

Speaker daisy chaining , am I going to damage my amp etc.?

The Peavey CS4080HZ is intended to place 2,040 watts
per channel into four-Ohm-rated speaker
impedances. The "HZ" suffix is intended
to state the amplifier has a relatively high
impedance output and is optimized for no
lower than four-Ohm loads. Are you strapping in Bridged or Stereo Mode? Bridged Mono Operation
Both amplifier channels can be bridged together to make a very powerful single-channel monaural amplifier. Use
extreme caution when operating in the bridged mode; potentially lethal voltage may be present at the output
terminals. To bridge the amplifier, depress the rear panel Bridge switch to the IN position. Direct the signal to channel
A's input and connect the speakers across the hot outputs (the "+" binding posts) of channels A and B. Only channel
A's input attenuator is active while in Bridge Mono mode. Both connectors are strapped together, so either connector
can be used with a patch cable to drive the input of another amplifier.
Unlike the stereo mode, in which one side of each output is at ground, both sides are hot in bridged mode. Channel A's
side is the same polarity as its input with the minimum nominal load impedance being 4 ohms (equivalent to driving
both channels at 2 ohms) in bridged mode. Driving bridged loads of less than 4 ohms will activate the DDT
circuitry, resulting in a loss of power, and may also cause a thermal (overheating) overload.
Therefore, check the impedance of the cabs for each mode. Remember, if you connect two individual speakers in Parallel (+ to + and - to -) you cut the impedance in half. Two 8 ohm speakers in parallel now have a load of 4 ohms. Series connection + to - to + to -, will double the impedance. Two 8 ohm speakers will have a load of 16 ohms.
I have actually taken a two speaker cab with a 4 ohm impedance and opened up the back to re-do the wiring. I rechecked the impedance with a ohm meter. So yes, be careful. Whatever you do, keep the speaker lengths as short as possible. Buy really good speaker wire or if you make your own, go with 10 gauge wire.

I'm using the Peavey XR 8600 with two EV Force i 25 speakers. My question is this, what is the difference between the two outputs on the Peavey? I naturally assumed one was left and one was right....

DO NOT parallel more than two 8 ohm speakers on either output and you will be OK. You could also use one speaker on each output. That would be easier on the equipment as it would be an 8 ohm load on each instead of a 4 ohm load on one of the internal amps. If you want to drive stage minitors, then you existing setup is fine and you will connect the monitors to the second speaker output and set the Mon switch as MAIN/MON.

I have a guitar head stack with 2 8Ohm outputs and a 2x12 orange ppc212 slant with 16Ohm impendance. How to link by 8Ohm the two parts?

As long as the impedance of the speakers do NOT go below the rating of the amp you can connect them without worry Your amp would drive two 8 ohm speakers. Using the 16 ohm speaker it will only draw half the current and only accept half the power that one of the 8 ohm outputs can deliver.

I need to know the ohm rating for the speaker in a

usually combo amps are 8 ohm for guitar. a 16 ohm speaker load comes into play usually on half stack set ups. danville tec 10d, i would guess a ten inch speaker, which is also very common for guitar amps.

I need to know the ohm rating for the speaker in a

Judging from the "10D", that most likely means 10 watts. 6.5 inch speaker, probably 8 ohms. Most amps of this nature have 8-Ohm speakers.

Their 12-watt and 15 watt amp have a 6.5". Their 20 watt amp has an 8". The 80 watt has a 12".

Hope this helps.

XR 8600 what color wire on the output connects

Peavey XR 8600?? Well it's 600w per ch. at 4 ohms/per side. So, whichever mode you use (Main, or Main/Monitor) you are best to have a 4 ohm total load for each channel of amplification. Ex.--Mains only, one 4ohm speaker per channel will give you 600W per side. Or two 8ohm speakers per channel in parallel, which makes a 4 ohm total load.

Main/Monitor mode---treat it the same way. one 4ohm, or two 8 ohms parallel. per channel.

Your best situation is to have a 4 ohm total load for each channel of amplification to get your 600W.

Parallel-- 8ohms each / 2 speakers = 4 ohm

CAN I POWER UL15 AND XT115 [WITH CROSSOVER] WITH 1 AMP

You need 1 channel of amplifier per stack. Assuming the ul 15 is a full range box, and the XT115 is a subwoofer. But be careful with your Ohm ratings for the speakers and your power ratings of your amps. You want the proper Ohm load on the amplifier for maximum power. And use proper speaker cable, with correct wiring.

Wire the to the sub first, and then jump to the ul 15.

Looking for a schmatic for the 410 tvx 4 ohm and the 410 tvx 8ohm cabinets

Go to www.peavey.com/asstes/literature/specs/005584220_3.pdf. Apparently the 410 TVX can be used in 4ohm or ohm configurations just don't drop below 4 ohms and make sure your amp has the minimum required impedence. Hope this helps.
