Question on extension cabinets

[thindave]

Hey all, I run my MkIVa with 6V6's and the speaker into the 4ohm jack as required. I was wondering - if I want to connect a 2nd speaker, do I have to plug that into the 4ohm jack as well?

What if I want to bypass the built-in speaker and use a 2x12 cabinet?

Also, what if I find one of those Mesa Satellite extensions which were made for the IV - do I have to do anything different with that?

Sorry if these are simple, but I've never used any entra speakers for my amp!

{"if I want to connect a 2nd speaker, do I have to plug that into the 4ohm jack as well? "}
Let's assume that you you mean the internal speaker(8ohm) & a 2nd 8ohm load, which would = 4ohm, I wouldn't do that. In this case Boogie suggest that you put an 8ohm load into the 4ohm jack.{"What if I want to bypass the built-in speaker and use a 2x12 cabinet?"}
Same thing applies, 8ohm load in 4ohm jack.{"Also, what if I find one of those Mesa Satellite extensions which were made for the IV - do I have to do anything different with that?"} It depends on which model

(A or B) MK IV you have; if you have an A ,use the efx send or the Slave output, or recording out to the satellite, If you have a B use the Satellite out jack. I hope this helps. :wink: :wink: 8) 8)
