Never mix 2 single driver cabs of differing impedances. | Not sure that's the best option here-there may be no "correct" answer: since both 4 and 8 Ohm cabs will handle about 150 watts, it's true that a pair of 4 Ohm cabs will balance the power distribution and make it less likely to blow one of them, but if you are careful with volume and listen to the 4 Ohm (at risk) cab (keep it on top) then the 4/8 Ohm stack may allow the head to run cooler. THE BEST option would be to get an 8 Ohm ext and shell out the extra 130 bucks for a replacement 8 Ohm driver, to end up with a pair of 8 Ohm cabs. They will be every bit as loud as a pair of 4 Ohm cabs with that head, distribute the power equally and not heat up the head.
