    Wattage issue on matching cabinets

I have a 450 watt head at 4 ohms, and a 700 watt cabinet at 8 ohms. I want to get the full 450 watts of the amp by adding another 8 ohm speaker, but does it have...

    Should I connect same brand cabinets or not?

    I'm looking to purchase a custom 1-15" cabinet at 200 watts RMS (400 peak), 8 ohm, and match it up with a Eden 4-10 cabinet.

Playing the system for the first time with my band, I noticed the limit light on the amp was lighting up frequently. Is this...

    Underpowering speakers. Is there a ratio?

    Hi: I bought a used 700 watt 4x10 speaker cabinet at 8 ohms, but my amp is 250 watts at 8 ohms. I called customer service at speaker manufacturer and he said there was no danger in underpowering speakers and causing damage. Two salesmen from two different guitar centers have said the same...
