Change the 4x10 baffle to a 2x12 baffle and use two 4-ohm speakers for a 2-ohm total speaker load. I see no problem using two 8-ohm speakers for a 4-ohm total, other than a different sound, probably not quite like the BassBreaker. The Bassman will give full power out with a 2 ohm total speaker load (two 4-ohm in parallel, or four 8-ohm in parallel), and less power out with mismatched impedance of 4-ohms (two 8-ohm in parallel).

Tone Tubby will be more than happy to provide you with 4-ohm speakers -- you need only ask.
