Connecting DSL1H 16 ohm head to Code 212 8 ohm cabinet

All Questions

Hi. I have bought the Marshall Code 212 cabinet with 8OHM. Now I want to buy Marshall DSL1HR tube head with 16OHM. Can I connect 16 OHM head to 8 OHM cabinet? Thanks in advance

DON"T DO IT!!! If you connect an amp with an output higher than the cabinet's maximum impedance, it will blow the speakers. You can connect an amp that is 8ohms or less, but you can't go any more than what the cab can handle. What I recommend, find another amp similar to the DSL1HR with 8 or less impedance. This way, you can still get the sound you want and NOT blow your speakers. - 11 Jun 2019 at 03:54 PM
