Quick Ohm question?? Im an idiot.

[Learn Guitars]

At the risk of sounding too paranoid. Im running two 16 ohm cabs plugged into two separate outputs on my amp. What should I set the ohm load on the amp to. This is the first time running the full stack. I gotta gig tonight. Any advice appreciated. I am guessing 8 ohms?

8

Edit:
It's a tube amp i take it.. if so, yes... 8 ohms is the proper setting for running two 16 ohm cabs.

Thanks Rick...that was fast. I knew this was the best place to go. You guys rock!!! It is a tube amp.

Another quicky question before fully committing to that number 8.

The amp is mono correct? If so, yes... 8 still stands.
If it's stereo (i.e. two independent mains) it would be 16 ohms.

Its a Mono Fender Supersonic.

Here are the specs for your amp.
So yes... if you use two 16 ohm cabs, you need to set it to 8 ohms.

MAIN EXT IMPEDANCE
SPKR SPKR SETTING
16Ω + None = 16Ω
16Ω + 16Ω = 8Ω
8Ω + None = 8Ω
8Ω + 8Ω = 4Ω
4Ω + None = 4Ω

Thanks for the confirmation Rick!!
