I have an aguilar db750, and i want to load two 410 cabs. But the cabs available for me are one 4 ohm and one 8 ohm cabs. I don't know if it is OK to load the two cabs together? What will be the total impedance after I load the two cabs together? Thanks.

Is it ok to load two 410 with different impedance?

yep, 2.67
the 750 can take 2 ohms so that's fine. the 4 ohm cab will get twice the watts but will not be twice as loud. try it.
just remember, as you turn it up, the 4 ohm cab will be taking a lot more of a beating. forget how loud it sounds, listen for distortion and if the cones start jumping like mad (a little movement is ok, "mommy please get me out of here" is not.

You can, but it will work about as well as putting 13 inch wheels on the left side of your car and 18 inch wheels on the right.
For best results get two identical cabs.
