hook up three Markbass cabs to TTE 501 (!)

[TontoGB]

I have a Markbass TTE 501.
It has two speakon outputs, which I have very happily been using with a New York 151 and a standard 151HR.
I'm now in the happy position of having been given another New York 151, and wondered whether there was a way to hook all three up without blowing up the amp - was thinking of connecting the 151HR to one output, one New York 151 to the other, with this daisy chained to the other New York 151.
And yes, I know this may sound a bit mad, [perhaps completely]
It would look pretty good though

The TTE 501 is only rated to 4 ohms. The 151 cabs (New York and HR) are 8 ohms. There is no way to hook up all three cabs and achieve the minimum 4 ohm load of the amp. If you connect all three, you'll blow up the amp.

No can do, Tonto.

No can do, Tonto.

Also: don't go to town.

You can always stack all three. Just don't hook up more than 2. We won't tell.
