    Ok..i swear just one more speaker question!

    Im going to try and contact VHT today..to be sure...but heres what
    i have connected to my 2/90/2 Stereo VHT rack mnt amp...

    'A' Channel drives my 4/12 cab with Celestion 75w in it
    And.... one G12H Genz benz cabinet into the remaining "A" speaker out.
    A" channel set to 8 ohms.. 4/12 is 7.3 on a digital meter... single Genz
    Benz is 7.6 ohms. That makes 5) 12" speakers for those that have even
    read this far!

    B' Channel "Left" stereo field has my (2) Crate 212S 2/12 cabs with
    Celestion 70/80's in them. Both read about 6.2 Ohms from each. "B" channel
    set to 8 ohms on the back of the VHT
    One of these goes into the "USE FIRST" B speaker out..and the other
    into the unmarked output.
    So i have 5 12" celestions in A channel... 7.3 to 7.6 ohms..
    and 4 Crate 12" Celestions measuring 6.2 ohms...and 6.4 ohms..
    Am i ok? Sounds great! But i dont want to cause an imbalance on
    the VHT? Opinions? THANKS! (the last time , i swear):ROTF:

      you should be fine. the ohm ratings are important but NOT as important as you think. besides, that is what the volume knobs are for!!
      GEAR:

      some guitars...WITH STRINGS!!!! most of them have those sticks like on guitar hero....AWESOME!!!!

      some amps...they have some glowing bottle like things in them...i think my amps do that modelling thing....COOL, huh?!?!?!

      and finally....

      i have those little plastic "chips" used to hit the strings...WHOA!!!!

        You really want to run it as close to as you can. You are not going to get exactly 4 ohms.. 8 ohmsss... etc. on a meter.

              hahahaha, no, but if a speaker is 7.6 ohms it isn't going to blow up his amp!!! that is what i meant about they aren't THAT important. of course he needs to be on the right settings!!! hahahaha!!

                Yeah, I know that. I got ya.

                I've mentioned already that no cab will be exactly 4/8/16 ohms... but ya really dont wanna run a 7.2 ohm cab on a 4 ohm setting. So yeah, at least get close.

                Some amps actually are sorta touchy... People definitely have killed transformers mismatching.

                  Asking too many speaker questions is surely taking away from your time buying more gear. If they cannot hear you from Southampton to Leeds simultaneously, you have failed your mission.
