I've got a Hughes & Kettner Switchblade head and recently I got a hold of a REALLY cheap 2*12 cab with 8ohms in mono, or 16 ohms in stereo.

When I was supposed to connect the cab to my amp, I just got this feeling, and had to double check this with someone with more knowledge than me in this smile.gif

The amp has these connectors : 1*4ohm, 1*8ohm, 2*16ohm. What will my options be here? My first thought was just to plug it in the 1*8ohms output, since the amp is a mono amp, right? But will this mean that I also can connect it to the 2 16ohms outputs aswell? (just that I wont get the stereo effect out of the cab)

MickeM - Your knowledge is very appreciated on this one! smile.gif
