1 amp 2 cabs?

[coltranemi2012]

Hi I just want to make sure this is safe...I have a 2x12 8ohm and a 1x12ohm cab..I wanna run one amp at 8ohm into both cabs...is this safe and ok? Thanks!

Well, you left off what ohms the 1x12 is, but I assume it is 8 from your wording. In short the general answer would be no, not OK. Two 8 ohm cabinets run in parallel yield a 4 ohm load and run in series is a 16 ohm load. Both are incorrect matches for your amp. That said, some amps don't mind a mismatch (Fender's in particular), but you should consult with your amp maker for a definitive answer.

What's the ohm rating of the 1/12 cab?

[coltranemi2012]

sorry 1/12 is also 8ohms...should i run the amp at a different ohm setting then? i can do 4 8 and 16..Thanks

Run the amp at 4 ohms when
