Ohms.... HELP!

[blakem]

Ok, If I take 2 speakers that are rated 8 Ohms and make a 2 x 12 cab... will it then become 16 OHMS? I want to make some cabs, but my amp is rated 8 OHMS... Does anyone know if its ok to wire the two 8 OHM speakers together and use it on an 8 OHM amp??

it can be wired to 4 ohms or 16 ohms.

opinions will differ on whether it's ok to use your 8 ohm amp with your 4 or 16 ohm cab. and now i'm gonna skedaddle before that goes down...

you can do 16 ohm with a 8 ohm amp but don't do 4 ohm not good on amp
