Resolving Amp limit light issue by adding another cabinet?

[ABNJbassplayer]

I bought a used Ampeg B2RE head that runs at 450 watts at 4 ohms and 250 watts at 8 ohms. Currently, I'm running it through an 700 watt at 8 ohm Eden cabinet with 4x10s. Playing the system for the first time with my band, I noticed the limit light on the amp was lighting up frequently. Is this a bad thing? Master was a little more than half way up and gain was 3/4 all the way for suitable volume. Here's my question: If I add another 8 ohm cabinet to run at full 450 watts and 4 ohms (which I plan to do for playing larger gigs), will this resolve the limiting problem because, I think, I'll have more power and won't be cranking the amp as much through an underpowered speaker? In other words, will two cabinets resolve the limiting problem I'm facing with one cabinet?

Look at the schematic or block diagram and determine the point in the the signal path that the limit light is monitoring. Perhaps you need to back down the gain control and raise the master control. Or not.

Two of the same cabs will be much louder than one and let you turn down the master, so you shouldn't hit the limiter as easy.
