I just got a Marshall 2x12" and it has occurred to me that it would be a lot cooler if it was a mini-stack eventually with the straight 2x12 under it. And I wouldn't have to put it on something to raise it up.
Problem is this cab is 8 ohm, with two 16 ohm speakers. Would there be any way to wire it so the total load is 8 ohm by swapping these speakers in the other one, and buying two more speakers for the bottom cab, 4 or 8 ohms each?
Like maybe one 16 ohm in each cab and one four? Right now I'm doing the math but there doesn't seem any way. I got something that would put it to 6.5 ohms or so, I think with one cab staying at 8 ohms and the other being 32 ohms, but that would send most power to the 8 ohm cab, which would be okay, since I could still use just one and get almost full power. Someone told me the Traynor YBA head I would be getting sounds better at 8 ohms though.
WHY didn't they include an impedance switch??
Edit: I know that if the cabs were 16 ohm each it would be perfect but I have the 16 ohm speakers on order already, and I'd like to be able to just use one cab anyway.
