hi guys,

would it be possible to run two 8 ohm speakers in a cab at 8ohm's?

Definitely not.

Series = 16-ohms

Parallel = 4-ohms

The only way to make the cab 8-ohms is to use only one of the speakers.

16 ohms would be fine as i could then add another 2 12 speakers

What cabs have you got and what overall impedance are you trying to achieve?

If you're trying to make a 412 then you can create an 8 ohm cab with 4 8 ohm speakers in a series/parallel combination.

i'm actually going to get 2 4 ohm 12's in series in one cab and a 1x12 8 ohm speaker in the other so i have 3 12's at 4 ohms so i can take whichever cabs i will need to different size venues

That's ok, but the single 12 will get double the power of the other 12's, make sure you account for that.
