Hello. I ordered my scx2 head and its on the way! Can't wait.
In the mean time I'd like to know if I can connect my two 16 ohm 1x12 cabs to this head with just a y cable coming out from the back of the amp head? My speaker cabs have only 1 input each so daisy chaining isn't possible plus I already have the y cable.
My biggest fear is what ohm load would I be running these at this way? An 8 ohm load I would assume?
I gig with my Egnater amp head this way now but it has two speaker outs on the back of the head with a selectable ohm switch so I know I'm safe. Not so sure with how it should work with the scx2?

Thanks

Yes,

Two 16 ohms cab in parallel ( with a Y ) = 8 ohms load as is write at the back of the cab.

Awesome! Thanks strat52. I was hoping that was the case just wanted another opinion to verify.
Hopefully the amp comes in mail tomorrow in time for band practice. Can't wait!

Wait as many opinions if you want but it is mathematical ; see link.
Two 16 in parallel equals 8 and your amp requires 8 minimun, it is written on the back of the amp.
Are your 2 cabs are 16 ohms each ! Sure ?

And a Y will plug them in parallel.

You must use a good quality " Y "adapter.
