Hi,

I would like to use a 1x12 speaker cabinet I have which has a Celestion V30 rated at 16 ohms. I want to simply plug this into the external speaker jack

The internal speaker is 8 ohms (the rating of the amp)

What will happen, good and bad?

Thanks

You might be safe as long as you don't overload it I guess. You may need to.google it.

You won't care for the results. Due to it's impedance, it will receive only 1/2 the power received by the internal speaker, so expect volume differences.

Total impedance seen by the amp will be 5.3 ohms. With an internal 8 ohm speaker and an external speaker jack, the amp is designed to handle two 8 ohms speakers in parallel, for an overall of 4 ohms, so there should be no harm done.
