Ok, quick question because I haven't ran into this as of yet. If I have a 4 OHM cabinet and I wanna run it with an 8 OHM cabinet, what do I need to do???

I can't think of any configuration that would make that possible.

Not to get a standard impedance a valve amp wants to see. Would work ok with a transistor amp

maybe if the cabs have multiple speakers you could re-wire each cab and come up with a usuable Ohm value

how many speakers in each cab?

what is each speakers Ohm value?

best bet is to probaly just wire the 8 ohm in parrallel to give you another 4 ohm cab.
