Use BOTH Speaker Jacks on TA-15 ?

[geetarplayer]

There is a 4 Ohm, and an 8 Ohm. Is it possible to use both? The manual sucks for this... it even shows configurations that have nothing to do with this amp.

OK. I guess I'll call Mesa and ask them.

This topic has been covered in terms of the MK series and here wisdom suggests that if you put a 16 Ohm speaker in the 8 Ohm output and an 8 Ohm speaker in the 4 Ohm outpt all will be well matched.

However if all you want to do is drive 2 speakers then why not just conect two 8 Ohm speakers in parallel into the 4 Ohm output?

the 8 ohm jack is for a total load of 8 ohms (one 8 ohm speaker, two 4 ohm speakers in series, two 16 ohm speakers in parallel, four 8 ohm speakers in series/parallel configuration...you get the idea).

the 4 ohm jack works the same way but for a 4 ohm total load...
