Btw, please correct me of any incorrect information, I REALLY dont wanna fry any equipment that I can't afford to replace!!!
If the 8x10 cabs are 4 ohms each (the total is what's important, not the individual speakers), then when you connect 2 of them to your amp, the total your amp "sees" is 2 ohms.

If your amp does not have a 2 ohm setting (and I don't think it does), do not connect the 2 8x10 cabs.
