I was thinking they were 50 watts but maybe 100 RMS?  I think you have to unplug the 410's if you want to run another cabinet with the head.  Just make sure there is a speaker plugged into it before you turn it on!

It couldn't be a 200W with 2 6L6 tubes. You can get some nice info here: http://www.ampwares.com/fender.asp

The output is 50 watts RMS, as the panel says.

In order to hit 600watts you would be looking at about a half dozen 6L6 tubes.

If you're talking about RMS watts, it's more like 20 to 24. All the data I've ever seen on 6L6 types are that most of them are 25 watts, with a few types being 30 watts. My Mesa Bass 400+ is 300 watts RMS with 12 5881 or 6L6GC.

OTOH I really don't know more about it than what I've read.

Yeah , that makes more sense than my half dozen comment. A case of me talking out my ass again :o What I meant to say was 200watts, somehow I hit a 6 instead of a 2.
