razzthekid88 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 My SVT only has a 2 or 4 ohm impedance selector. Was just wondering if it'll mess up the tubes if I use a single 8 ohm cab? Or will it be okay using it with the SVT at 4 ohms? If not then is there anyway to make using an 8ohm cab safer? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alien Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 What's the cab? If it's got more than one driver in it then it could probably be rewired to 2 Ohms if need be. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
