Is anyone running their SCXD at 4 ohms? I have an external cab and could run mine at 5ohms, just wonder if the OT will handle it.
Does anyone have experience running the SCXD at less than 8 ohms?

I was running a 1x12 4ohm speaker cab with my scxd and it sounded fine. But I never turned the volume past 4 in fear that something might go wrong. Last week I replaced the 4ohm 70 watt Celestion speaker with a emanence Texas Heat which is 8ohm 150 watt. I do like the sound of the new speaker alot better and I don't have to worry about overloading the scxd. Hopefully someone with more knowledge of this will give their input because I'd like to know as well.

The back of the Amp by the Speaker Out says:

8 Ω Min
15W


The manual says on page 6:

SPEAKER OUT — Connection for the internal speaker or an
external speaker (8Ω/25W minimum).

I wouldn't plug a 4-ohm speaker in myself and run it.

The 8 ohm is the impedance, which should match, and the minimum wattage is 15. This is a tube power amp and doesn't have the leeway of solid state.
