I'm new here and to tube amps as well. I recently got a Mesa/Boogie Mark V setup for Christmas. After having replaced two rectifier 5U4GB short tubes (first time it just stopped working, second time it shorted out requiring testing and fuse replacing), I seek advice on hooking up speakers to the head correctly to avoid problems. Currently, I have 8 ohms to 8 ohms. 4 Ohms will give me A LOT of extra volume as I have found out playing a Mark V head at Guitar Center hooked up to a rectifier 4X12 straight. I'm somewhat confused how that would work on my amp since the speaker outputs on the Head have 2 4 ohm outlets with "2X8 cabs" in between them. The cabinet itself has two 4 ohms inputs as well with a "split for bi-amp" in between. I'm confused with this in fear of hooking up the speaker enclosure wrong though you can hook it up to a safe miss match. It would be much appreciated to know the correct way to hook up the enclosure for 4 ohms (new drummer plays a bit louder than our louder :lol: and my output is above 3:00 on 90 watts)
Thanks
If anyone wants to see pictures of my current setup, let me know. :mrgreen:
