Right so i have this 100 watt marshall combo with one output on the back that sais minimum input 4Ω.

I also have two 60 watt speakers that say system impedance = 8Ω

So is it safe to run these two off the marshall without something exploding? if so can i run the 12 inch speaker in the marshall as well as the two 60 watts?
any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to wire the (2) 8 ohm speakers in parallel making the load 4 ohms.... Or just wire them in series at 16 ohms ohms. Just make sure you select the right ohmage on your Marshall.

How many watts is your marhsall? 50/100

I'm turning into the forum bully because I'm seeing all these one posters with alot of different user names. Do these people have a life or what? Come on people introduce yourself, get to know everybody before you start begging for FREE help from everyone.

I like the title Need smart persons help with Marshall

Give me a break :giggly:

No not hardly He's Just trying to keep this forum in line. This forum is getting alot of spam because it's in the top 10 in google out of 35 million sites. Alot of one posters asking alot of questions that have already been addressed and not replying after the fact.

Don't take things so personal.

So don't go below 4 Ohms, just like it says.
If you run into 8 Ohms, you are half as efficient[that can be good, you will get more grind/drive from your tube amp]. with a 4 Ohm[head] into 16 Ohms , you are at 1/4 . so back in the day I used to pull the outer 2 power tubes from my Marshall [cutting the power in half] and set the Head Ohms to 4 and run into a 16 Ohm cab [100 to 50 divided into 4 = about 13 watts]. the tone was killer. User resumes all responsibility, of course.
