I am demoing an extension cab that I may purchase to go with my Marshall Combo, but I want to ask a question before I fire it all up. On the back of my combo, I have 3 plugs for speaker outs. 8ohm with a lightning bolt, 16 ohm with lightning bolt on the opposite side and 8 ohm in the middle, no lightning bolt. The amp came stock with an 8ohm 70/80 Celestion speaker, though that wasn’t what was in the amp when I bought it. It came with a 65w Creamback, 16ohm, plugged into the 16ohm out with the lightning bolt. Later, I bought an 8 ohm 75w Creamback and installed that, plugged into the 8ohm out with the lightning bolt, just because the other speaker used the out with the lightning bolt.
Right now, I still have the 75w, 8ohm Creamback in the amp. The extension cab is 16ohm mono, with a “link” input for daisy chaining cabs. My question is:
Can I just plug the cab into the 16ohm out and play away? Or do I need to disconnect the internal 8ohm speaker first? I just don’t want to blow anything.
Thanks.
