Just bought a Super Champ XD (SCXD). Love it!

Also have an Egnater Rebel 1x12 cabinet that has a 16 ohm speaker.

Any comments about using this cabinet with the SCXD?

I know the impedence is higher than the recommend 8 ohms x 25w for the SCXD external speaker jack.

Thanks in advance.

- Johnny

Hi JohnnyBluestone,

No problem using the 16 ohm speaker with the 8 ohm amp. The impedance rating on your amp is a minimum speaker load, you can always use a higher impedance speaker with no problem. I used a 4 ohm amp (C600) with that same 16 ohm cabinet, and also used it with an 8 ohm cabinet, both worked great, although the 8 ohm sounded better to me. :)

You usually lose a some tone and output. It won't hurt the amp at all. It might sound interesting too with the Egnater closed back ported cab.
This would be handy. It would match the impedance to get the full benefit of the amp.

The other option would be to pick up another Egnater 112 cab then you'll get 8 ohms. I run two with my Rebel 20. Great sounding cabinets.
