I'm assuming that the 6101 has a 16ohm speaker in it, correct? If that's true then when you add an extension cab that is at 16ohms then you need to change your amp impedance to 8ohms. It shouldn't change for either cab as long as they are both set at 16ohms. I'm not sure the options on the rear panel of a 1922 cab.

If the Jube only has 8ohm and 4ohm as an option is the speaker in the combo connected to the amp via a speaker cable or is it hard wired in? Can you look at the speaker and tell me what the impedance is?

I saw the back of a 6101 before and it had a speaker cable going into the back of the amp, if yours is like that then the information I gave you for that one should be correct.
