Benson B700 Bass Amp

Question on this,
I have the B700 with the 15" Benson cab for it.
I would like to add a second cab to fill it out.
Can I add an 8 ohm 12" Aguilar DB112 at 8ohm / 300 watts?
New to the extra cabs world and would like to make sure I understand the ohmage and wattage math correctly.


Also, has anyone else dimed this amp/cab? Im getting some rattle on mine and it sounds like inside the cab rattle, as if its not supposed to be pushed that hard.

Adding the 8 ohm Aggie will be no problem. I have run a pair of Benson 15N cabs (and lots of other cabs) with no problem, plus the benefit of raising the cabs to closer to ear level.

I have been using the B-700 for years and never had to dime it. There could be something loose in the cabinet, but I have not had that experience with either the stock 15N cab or others rattling when pushed.
