I love my Blues Jr. amp, but would like to add an external speaker enclosure to give me the flexibility to add some increased dimension and spatialness to its overall sound (when desired). When I tested it on my Marshall 1960A, it sounded incredible. Ideally I am considering the new Hot Rod Deluxe 112 enclosures, as I really only want a 2x12 rig. If I connect the 112 enclosure to the amp in parallel though (through a Y connector) the amp impediance is going to only be 4 ohms (whereas it is rated at 8 ohms). Short of buying a 2x12 Supersonic enclosure and bypassing the internal Blues Jr. speaker, or a new amp, any ideas on how to achieve 8 ohms? Or can the Blues Jr. safely run at 4 ohms?

If you browse through some of the past postings on Blues jr. mods, I'm sure that you'll find it stated that adding another 8 ohm speaker in parallel (tot. of 4 ohms) is safe. One of the persons who makes this claim is certainly more knowledgable on this topic than I, BUT I'll bet you won't get Fender to tell you it's OK!
