Mixing Ohm Cabinets with MKV

[RnR]

Hi,

I have a 4 ohm and an 8 ohm cab I'd like to try at the same time with my MKV. What speaker outs should I use?

Thanks

If running both cabs, the 4 ohm is a problem. Not sure you can do so safely, but others can put me right on this if there is a way

I run 2 x 8 ohm cabs from both 4 ohm sockets, and the amp performs at it's best to my ears through this set up

If you can put them in serial, no pb (4+8 = 12ohm, fit in the 8ohm output).
But you can't plug them in parallel (2.7ohm), too low for the output tranny. Your tubes will worn out very quickly and this may even damage the output tranny.

Thanks for the replies. I went out and got a recto 2x12. I suspect the old Fender 2x12s were just a little overwhelmed :shock:
