A question.

Scenario.

You have an amp head.

Runs at 4 ohms minimum.

So, one 4 ohm cab or two 8 ohm cabs.

If one wanted...

Is there an interface or device that will allow you to run two 4 ohm cabs at 2 ohms while making the load 4 ohms at the amp?

A magic box that both cabs could plug into and an connection that always shows the amp 4 ohms.

Probably doesn't exist, but thought I'd ask.

@agedhorse

Perhaps he knows?

There's no "good" solution for this, especially if we're talking over 100W or so. The device would have to be huge and likely have a fan on it.

Your best bet us to have a cab sale and wind up with two 8 ohm cabs for a modular system...one cab for quite gigs and two for louder ones.

That is what it is starting to look like.

Just asking... Thanks for the reply.

There's no practical way to change the impedance like that.

On to plan 'B'

You could make yourself a series cable and show the amp 8 ohms.

Yes! I forgot about that! And the doubling of speaker surface area (assuming identical cabs) would more than make up for the difference in wattage output of your amp between 4 and 8 ohm loads.

If you're not savvy enough to make one, you can buy them.

Two 8-ohms cabinets.
