Speaker Ohms value?

[omfg51]

So I'm putting two 8 ohm Cannabis Rex speakers into my Peavey Classic 50 2x12, but the 1/4 inch prong was in the 16 ohms input, not the 8 ohms. If I'm using two 8 ohm speakers, so I want to run them into that input, or should I run them into the 16 ohms input??

If the two Cannabis Rex are wired in parallel, that would give you 4 ohms.
What you need to do is wire them in series so you get 16 ohms, then you can plug it into the 16 ohm jack on the back of the amp.
