16 ohm cabs

[aende]

Hi All,

I was considering buying a 'normal' amp which would take 2 x 8 ohm cabs.

I use 2 x 4 ohm cabs right now, so, I have 2 choices;

Rewire the cabs for 16ohms each (Speakers in series) and then use both on the head to create an 8 ohm load
Use a series cable to join together the 2 4ohm cabs to create 8 ohm load

Which would be better? Any thoughts on running 16 ohm cabs?

I have run 16 ohm cabs with no problem. I would suggest that rewiring the cabs is the best option - then you can use standard speaker leads to connect them. The less complication you have when setting up for a gig, the better, so I would keep it as standard as possible.

What amp are you using?
