Just looking for some advice from you guys that know much more than I do. I'm putting together an amp and I'm about ready to buy the speaker, which is a Celestion G-12M 12W Greenback, but i need some advice on whether to go with the 8 Ohms or 16 Ohms. I'd really appreciate any advice that anyone might have!

You have to match the impedance of the amp. ( The load the output transformer wants to see)

This is the kit I am building from:
http://www.torresengineering.com/chromsilvins.html

So I could either go with an 8 Ohm or 16 Ohm, the kit allows you to choose which one to go with, and I was wondering if there any benefits to one or the other in any way?

Go with the 16. My hand built plexi has a multi-impedance trannie too.I'm running a 16 ohm cab and she sounds great. Good luck with your build. Nice kit man. 8) Mike
