Safe to pair a G12H 30 with a 15 watt blue?

[Gasp100]

I want to try pairing these in an amp and a cab. The G12H 30 is obviously a little more Marshally, in your face, greenback type of sound. Both speakers are 8ohms (I think) but the G12H is 30 watts and I'm assuming the Blue is 15 watts. So, those wired in series should equal:

8ohm + 8ohm = 16ohm
30 + 15 = 30 watts total? Or, 45 watts?

You're right about it being 16ohm total (if wired in series)
The cabinet rating is 30 watts for the two speakers.

Your speaker pair's impedance will depend on how it's wired:

The wattage rating in a 2 speaker cab is double the value of the lowest rated speaker (so it would be 15 x 2 = 30 watts).

:AOK yep....thats what I was going to say!

Okay cool. I'd like to keep the speakers close in wattage, I guess 15 and 30 watts respectively is not that bad. So, my huge Avatar Vintage 2x12 will only be a 30 watt, 16ohm cab. But, hopefully it will be a damn fine sounding one at that - any opinions on mixing these two speakers? I think the Gabriel Voxer cabs do the same thing don't they? (Blue + Celestion G12H?)

It's a great sounding combo, and is used by a lot of the "boutique" guys. I use a Celestion Gold paired with a Scumback H75 and it sounds fantastic with my Soultone amp.

I use a Top Hat 2x12 with a G12H30 and a Blue for the Vanderbilt 33 and that is what Fat Sound recommended...hasn't been a problem and I can't imagine Stu recommending something that would destroy the speaker.

it is a great combination of speakers!

I have the same cab and speaker combination. Sounds great with my Supreme 16!
