If your amp has outputs for 4 ohm 8ohm and 16 ohm, and you have 2- 8 ohm speakers in your 2x12 is there any reason you should choose to wire the cab 16 ohm in series rather than 4 ohm in parallel?
I saw on one site that (according to them) going 4 ohm would put more stress on the amp, but I only saw that in one site. I was thinking that I had seen somewhere that doing it 16 ohm would give it more headroom but I am not even sure where I had seen that.
The cab came with the wiring defaulted to 4 ohm so I hooked it up that way, but I am wondering if there is any advantage to doing them in series / 16 ohm
