I just ordered two Celestion Cream 90 Alinco speakers I will be using. The 2 x 12 cab will be wired for 4ohm. I bought them to use with my Dual Showman Reverb and a Marshall JCM800 4010. Would I be safe in trying them with my 1966 Black Faced Super Reverb? Thanks. Oh and also I would not be running the amp real hard or loud.

Think you'll be okay, with those 4-ohm impedance speaker cab hooked to 2-ohm output of the SR. I wouldn't go much above 8-ohm load.

Moderate volumes will be fine.

A '66 Super Reverb's iron is pretty tough -- I doubt that there'll be any issues whatsoever. If you do have concerns though, you could always disconnect two of the amp's internal speakers which would bring the total system load back to the amp's specified 2-ohm design load.
