Hey-

I have a 2012 Blues Jr III, I wanted to know if I can connect it to an Egnater Rebel 1x12
16 ohm cabinet without causing any damage. I know it's not rocket science but all of that
"ohms" stuff concerns me.

A friend of mine has a cabinet with two 10" speakers that I was also interested in hooking up with the BJ3.

I'm not crazy for the sound I get with the stock speaker, it doesn't sound too bad though.
I'm using the amp at gig this weekend while my other amp is getting repaired. I'll be mic'd and will have my own monitor but would still like to get a little more oomph with another speaker.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

As long as the impedance of the cabinet is not lower than what the amp was designed for you can run any cab you like.

BJrIII has an 8 ohm output. Plugging in a 16 ohm cab with cut the power output of the amp about in half resulting in less volume than with the stock speaker unless the external cab is more efficient than the stock speaker.
