I just received a new/used 2x12 cabinet with two 8 ohm speakers. My amp is switch selectable for 16, 8, and 4 ohms. Is it better to wire the two speakers in series for 16 ohms, or should I wire the speakers in parallel for 4 ohms.
I did a search and found lots of info on how to wire speakers for impedance matching, but nothing on the possible benefits of running at the lower or higher setting.
Does the impedance level have any detectable impact on the output volume or tone?
(BTW, the rig in question is a Germino Masonette 25 watt head and a Tone Tubby 2x12 cabinet with their 8 ohm "hemp cone" speakers.)
