Re: help needed by all you fine folk

If you're dead set on getting a 4 ohm cab, you can also look for a 16 ohm cab, then rewire the speakers so that they're all in parallel. Four 16 ohm speakers paralleled will give you a 4 ohm load.

However, as has been mentioned above, running higher than 4 ohms will only drop your power output some - since there's only 3dB of volume difference when the power is cut in half, I doubt it would be enough to even matter. But since solid state amps are not transformer coupled like valve amps are, impedance matching goes out the window.

Hope this helps.
