16 ohm Hotplate/Stiletto?

[ValveHeavyTone]

how would i run a 16 ohm thd and a stiletto together in order for the hotplate to see 16 ohms? the manual is a little confusing.

What cab are u using? You would need two 8 ohm speakers in series to get 16 ohms for a 2x12. Or for a 4x12 you could do 2 16ohm speakers wired in series and then wire those in parallel with 2 more 16 ohm speakers in series. 1x12 would of course require 1 16ohm speaker.

sorry about that my cab is 16 ohm already i need to know about how to set the stiletto.

Just put a speaker cord from the 16ohm output on the stiletto to the "input from amp" on the hotplate. Then connect a speaker cord from the speaker output on the hotplate to the 16ohm input on the cab.

yes i know that but on the stiletto it has a different approach to the ohms than normal boogies .

Plugging a 16 ohm hotplate into the 8 ohm output is a safemismatch and will be fine.

so are you saying there no no single jack for a 16 ohm on the stiletto?

I don't think they do.

No, they have two 4 and two 8 ohm jacks.

Here is some relevant information from the product manual:

These are the Speaker Outputs for connecting your cabinet(s) of choice. Your Stiletto is not very sensitive to impedance
mismatching and therefore we encourage experimentation with regards to speaker loads. You may feel free to try an 8 Ohm
load on the 4 Ohm jack or a 16 Ohm load on the 8 Ohm jack as you may discover a characteristic that the mismatched load imparts
on the sound that is desirable.

When I said "I don't think they do"... I was meaning in the context of "I don't think they have a 16 ohm jack" :roll: sry

I was replying to ValveHeavyTone, sorry I should have quoted him for context.
