Hi friends,
I'm getting an Avatar 2x12 cab this week AND i HAVE 2X12s from an early 70s Marshall at 15ohms. Please, can anyone tell me how to wire the two 15 ohm 12s so that the cab is eight ohm. Sorry if its a dumb question, I dont want to wreck my 2266c.
Mike.

Wire 'em in parallel like this picture. It'll end up at 7.5ohm which most people will agree is close enough.
