hey guys ive had a rectifier for a few months now and have been playing through a marshall cab, now im getting a mes ca in the mail today and need to know what im suppose to hook it up to in the rectifier. Is it 8 or 16 or what?

can you guys tell me what rectiifers and mesa cabs run at so i can just go ahead and play?

It should say on the back of the Mesa cab - on the jack where you plug in the speaker, assuming no one changed the speaker or wiring. Is it a 112?

ok here is here is what is on the back, 4 ohms then below it another 4ohms for bi switching, and to the right it just says in and then below that 8ohms out. doesnt say 8ohms in above the 8 ohms out. so do i use 8 ohms or 4 and if so which position up or down?

did i buy the righht cab?!?!?! i dont know if it is truely a rectifier cab but all four speakers are v30s. in the descritpion at gc .com it didnt say rectifier cab, just slant cab 4x12, i shouldve made sure it said rectifier.

Relax. Does the jack plate look like this?

Nearly all Mesa 4x12s are 8 ohms mono. Plug a speaker cable between the head's 8 ohm jack to the cab's "in" jack. If the stereo jacks are labeled 4 ohm, then it is 8 ohm mono.

Recto cabs are pretty obvious. Unless it has an open back or a metal grill, it's most likely one of the types of Recto cab.
