Orange Micro dark Terror - 20 watt.
Output is min 8ohm - 16 ohm.
have two 1 x 12 16ohm cabs with Parallel wiring according to description.
and one 1x8" 8ohm cab that came with it.
Am I right in thinking that I can take the 8-16ohm speaker output from amp, 1st to the 1 x 12 16ohm parallel cab, then daisy to the second 1 x 12 parralel 16 ohm cab. - that would certainly give me 8 ohm, which is fine.
But what if I take the 2nd cab output into the Orange 1x8 speaker at 8ohm?
Figure this would be in series ??? so I get 9.6 ohms load overall ??
Take it this would be fine ?
(if the 1x8" 8ohms cab connected to the output of 2nd 1 x 12 16ohm ends up in parrellel then not good)
many thanks

Re: Ohms - HELP !!!
It would all be parallel.
Two 16 ohm cabs together equals an 8 ohm total load.
Add the third cab (why?) and you'd be at 4 ohms which is a no-no.

Thats what I thought and thanks for clarifying.
If the 1x8 ended up in series, with the 2nd speaker (which it wont) then it would be 9.6 ohm
As in parallel then it overall ends up at 4, which as you say is not good news !!
Many thanks for prompt reply. And calculator !

Would it be safe to play a Tiny Terror through a 16 ohm cabinet?
