I have a Fender Twin and 2 speaker cabs.One has 2-12's (4 ohms) and the other a 15"
8 ohm celestion speaker. When using both cabs which one should be used as the "Extension" speaker? ------------------

It doesn't make any difference to the amp, since the jack just "parallels" the two loads. Since the 15" cabinet has a higher impedance, it probably won't sound as loud as the cabinet with the two 12" speakers. That's the only significant consideration here. |

Thanx..I intended on using both cabs tonite on our gig, but then changed my mind and used the 15" Celestion in a closed cabinet.
(8 0hms)It broke up pretty bad..maybe too much bass on my settings.
Using the same settings I tried the 2-12" speakers, (1 Mesa Black Shadow and 1 Celestion Silver Series 70 Watt.) I have been using this cabinet for about 4 years and it sounds great...at my house at a lower volume the 15" sounded really good but out on stage it just didn't cut it so I sure don't want to use it as an extension.
Just another dumb idea in the pursuit of a better sound. |

You play at lower volume sometimes, Jack? I did not know that!  ------------------
