Bassman 100 Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Would it be ok to add a 4 Ohm Cab to a MarkBass MiniMark? The MarkBass Combo says 8 Ohm min' - I am thinking that the 4 Ohm is greater than 8 Ohm - but just checking in case. Would this type of pairing harm the extension cab or amp in the long term? Quote

If it says '8 ohms minimum', you can't do it and could damage your amp. Quote
chris_b Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) The Mini Mark is an 8 ohm combo so you can add an 8 ohm cab. You will blow the fuses if you add 4 ohm cab as you will be presenting your amp with 2.6 ohms! Edited January 21, 2010 by chris_b Quote
